A variety of rotary molecular machine prototypes powered by light, chemical energy, or electrons have been synthesized and their operation in solution, gels, or on surfaces has been demonstrated.
Wicked problems, such as water security, require a shift to transdisciplinary research by bringing disciplinary perspectives, conducting participatory research, and developing case-specific solutions.
World Future Energy Summit and the RELX SDG Resource Centre have announced a new partnership to support sustainability innovation
Drawing on insights from the United Nations 10-Member Group on Science, Technology, and Innovation for the SDGs, Beyond 2030 reviews the framework’s achievements to date and delivers critical insights into how the SDGs can guide global cooperation and decisive local action well beyond 2030.
This study explores the food and nutrition security practices among artisanal and small-scale mining communities in Nigeria, revealing both strengths, such as access to local foods and purchasing power, and significant challenges, including meal skipping, poor water quality, and limited healthcare access. The findings emphasize the need for comprehensive interventions to improve nutrition, healthcare infrastructure, and social protection, which are essential for the well-being and sustainable development of these mining communities.

This paper reviews existing analyses on AI infrastructures energy and climate implications and proposes quantitative scenario-based frameworks, highlighting key research challenges at the intersection of AI-driven energy demand, region-specific clean energy strategies and their economic competitiveness, strategic levers in energy sourcing decisions, and policy dynamics.
Many countries, subnational jurisdictions, and companies are setting net-zero emissions goals; however, questions remain about strategies to reach these targets, policy measures, technology gaps, and
This perspective explores the idea of the Earth Grid, which proposes an intercontinental electric grid facilitated by three technological advancements: enhanced information and communication technology (ICT) applications in the electric grid, development of inter-country grids for power-sharing, and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for efficient operation and maintenance.
The chemical industry must undergo a dual transformation: electrifying energy use and defossilizing carbon feedstocks. This paper, developed by ENGIEs Scientific Council, examines how energy and chemistry can converge to enable this shift.
