Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics. Her study of a “toroidal magnetic confinement nuclear fusion device” called Wendelstein 7-X—essentially an energy-producing artificial sun created in a laboratory—is nothing less than breathtaking.

l’urgence porte sur l’alimentation et la santé, pas sur l’éducation, en dépit des efforts d’organismes comme Bibliothèques sans frontières80 et sa médiathèque en kit, l’Ideas Box. « Conçue pour tenir sur deux palettes et pouvoir ainsi être hissée à l’arrière d’un pick-up ou dans une soute d’avion », décrit dans Le Monde Maryline Baumard, elle compo

When the warmer, arid growing season arrives, the lower altitude streams quickly dry up and there is little water available again until June when the glaciers provide meltwater again. It is in this crucial window that the ice stupas start melting, offering an invaluable source of water for irrigation early in the growing season, extending the cropp

So experts at CGIAR developed dozens of new maize varieties that could withstand drought conditions, each adapted to grow in specific regions of Africa. At first, many smallholder farmers were afraid to try new crop varieties. Understandably so. If you’re eking out a living,

Allan Savory developed one particularly promising methodology of regenerative agriculture that could be a game-changer for climate change mitigation.

That includes everything from reclaiming wastewater to just-in-time irrigation, a system that reduces water use dramatically while…

Electrify every process possible. This is going to take a lot of innovation. Get that electricity

One is looking at whether you could move something other than water uphill—pebbles, for example. Another is working on a process that would do away with the hill but not the water: You pump water underground, keep it there under pressure, and then release it when you’re ready to turn a turbine. If this approach works, it would…
