- Researchers from ñ have created a low-cost solar cell with one of the highest power-conversion efficiencies to date, by layering cells and using a unique combination of elements.
- Unsafe drinking water and household air pollution are major causes of illness and death around the world Associate Professor Evan Thomas writes in The Conversation.
- A ñ and Millennium Water Alliance-led program committed to ending humanitarian drought emergencies in the Horn of Africa has been named one of the Top 100 in the prestigious John D. and Catherine T.
