World Breaks Renewable Records but Must Move Faster to Hit 2030 Tripling Goal
The world is falling behind on its renewable energy and efficiency goals despite record progress last year, confirms a new report released today by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the COP30 Brazilian Presidency, and the Global Renewables Alliance (GRA) during a pre-COP30 high-level event in Brasília.

Oxygen incorporation in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$ thin films: surface activation and degradation
The oxygen off-stoichiometry plays a pivotal role for the physical properties of superconducting oxides. Yet, there is a lack of knowledge on the fundamental processes of oxygen incorporation and correlated phenomena during oxygen post annealing treatments. Here, we deployed electrical probes ($ρ(T)$ and electrical conductivity relaxation (ECR) measurements) to gain a better understanding of the kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in epitaxial YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$ (YBCO) thin fi…

How Brazil's innovative 'Pix' payment system is angering Trump and Zuckerberg
The Pix instant payment system is used by nearly everyone in Brazil, from street vendors to major retailers. In a recent op-ed, economist Paul Krugman even touted it as the “future of money”. Its success has sparked global interest and some political tension after US President Donald Trump launched an investigation into the system.

Hierarchically Engineered Titanium Suboxide Films for High-Efficiency Solar Thermal Conversion
We report the development of broadband solar absorber coatings based on titanium suboxide composite thin films on aluminium substrates. The films are fabricated via scalable DC magnetron sputtering using a Ti target, followed by post-annealing in a fixed $O_2$ partial pressure of 0.45 mbar. By tuning deposition time and annealing temperature, a composite phase of $Ti_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$ was achieved. The Raman mapping of the films substantiates the distribution and coexistence of the two phases. …
