A September 2026 policy brief from the UN University warns that electricity infrastructure with 15 to 20 year lifespans is being approved on weather records that no longer describe the climate the assets will operate in — even as the IEA projects renewables will nearly triple by 2030.
Materials
Researchers ground up waste eggshells and used the powder to replace 10 percent of the cement in a batch of concrete
A waste product from billions of broken eggs could make concrete stronger while cutting the carbon footprint of one of the world's dirtiest industries.

About Space Daily
Space, science, and the human side of the frontier. Since 1995.
Space Daily is an independent publication covering three connected beats: the space industry, the science behind it, and the psychology of ambition, isolation, and meaning under extremes. Founded in Tokyo in 1995, we’ve built a thirty-year archive of rigorous reporting on the people, missions, and ideas pushing humanity outward — and on the human dynamics shaped by frontier life. The same ambitions, pressures, and patterns of mind that drive humanity to the stars also shape how we live on Earth. We employ modern AI technologies to support our editorial workflows; every published piece is editorially directed and reviewed.
