One more photo stop that we did after quite a rain pour in the #schwarzwald.
We came up this path when I turned around and saw the sun beams through the canopy. At first I was really stunned to be honest as I hardly *ever* see such scenes!
Strangely I took ways less photos than might have been appropriate, but those two I found worth sharing.
Some more story about them:

The image shows the sun shining through a dense forest, with rays of sunlight filtering through the leaves of the trees. The forest is bathed in a warm, golden light, creating a serene and magical atmosphere. The trees are tall and majestic, their dark silhouettes contrasting against the bright sunlight. The scene is peaceful and tranquil, with a hint of mist or fog adding to the ethereal quality of the setting. The colors are predominantly black, with accents of a rich, earthy green. This capt…

Richard Murphy, who previously advocated green growth, gets there in the end.
"The real challenge we face is not how to restart a growth engine that has already driven us to the edge of environmental collapse. It is how to redesign the economy so that the resources we already have are used to meet human and ecological needs.
Growth is not coming back — and nor should our democracy depend upon it."

Growth is not coming back — and nor should our democracy depend upon it
Martin Wolf has (once again) declared in the Financial Times that the fate of democracy rests on economic growth. As he said, in advance of the Budget: [Reeves'] first priority must be to get whatever growth she can.  Growth made democracy possible, he claims, and only growth can now save it, in...

A fallen tree lies in a dense, lush jungle setting. The tree trunk is covered in vibrant green moss, adding a pop of color to the dark forest floor. Surrounding the fallen tree are towering old-growth trees, creating a natural canopy overhead. The atmosphere is serene and untouched, showcasing the beauty of a pristine nature reserve. The scene exudes tranquility and showcases the resilience of nature as vegetation thrives in this forest ecosystem. This image captures the essence of a wild, unto…

Germany leads the green energy race in the EU, with over 310,000 jobs in wind and solar energy. Renewable energy accounts for a quarter of energy used and supports nearly 950,000 jobs in the EU. #climatechange #climatesolutions

Top OECD performers in green growth - an FOI model analysis
With rising concerns about climate change, the issue of green growth have been growing in importance. The aim of this study is to establish a measurement method for green growth, and to identify the best performing countries in this field. The Future, Outside, and Inside (FOI) development model was used to measure the performance of the 38 OECD countries. Based on their 2019-20 scores, the countries that are top performers in green growth are the members of the so called Welfare-participatory c…

A User-centric Kubernetes-based Architecture for Green Cloud Computing
To meet the increasing demand for cloud computing services, the scale and number of data centers keeps increasing worldwide. This growth comes at the cost of increased electricity consumption, which directly correlates to CO2 emissions, the main driver of climate change. As such, researching ways to reduce cloud computing emissions is more relevant than ever. However, although cloud providers are reportedly already working near optimal power efficiency, they fail in providing precise sustainabi…

Solar continues to surge
In keeping with China’s green push, the country is leading the surge in global solar installations. In the first half of 2025, the world installed 380 GW of new solar capacity, a 64% jump from the same period last year. China accounted for 67% of that growth, installing more than twice the rest of the world combined.

A line graph with five rising lines showing Global solar capacity additions cumulative by year Source: Monthly wind and solar capacity, Ember; Ember calculations Capacity installations for countries not covered in capacity data were estimated from solar export data; Capacity is in GW(DC). Data from countries reporting in GW(AC) was scaled in the calculation of global values.

Nestled deep within a lush, verdant forest, this narrow trail invites hikers into a world of tranquil solitude and natural beauty. The path, a winding ribbon of earthy brown, is gently bordered by moss-covered rocks and boulders, their vibrant green hues suggesting centuries of undisturbed growth. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy above, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow across the forest floor, where fallen leaves and pine needles create a soft, rustling carpet.
Moss blankets the forest floor and climbs up the sides of ancient trees, its vivid green hues contrasting beautifully with the darker bark and scattered brown leaves. Ferns, delicate and intricate, emerge from the undergrowth, their fronds swaying gently in the light forest breeze. A small, trickling stream crosses the path, its rocky bed glistening with moisture, adding a soothing soundtrack to the tranquil scene.
Nestled deep within an ancient forest, this enchanting trail winds its way through a lush, green sanctuary. The path, a narrow ribbon of earthy brown, is softly bordered by vibrant moss-covered mounds that seem to glow with an almost magical luminescence. The moss, a rich emerald green, blankets the rocks and ground, creating a plush carpet that adds to the forest's serene ambiance. Towering trees, their trunks dark and sturdy, rise majestically on either side of the trail, their branches weav…

Uncovering the network geometry of green bonds
With the rapid growth of the green bond market amid increasing emphasis on sustainable development, understanding its structural properties and potential systemic risks has become essential. This study applies Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) and Hierarchical Tree (HT) methods introduced by Mantegna, which gives a minimum spanning tree of bonds whose mutual distance corresponds to the correlation coefficient of the synchronous time evolution of the difference of the logarithm of their monthly price.…

Moisture-driven CO2 direct air capture and delivery for cultivating cyanobacteria
A moisture-driven air capture system was developed and demonstrated for cultivating cyanobacteria and microalgae at the flask (50 mL), bench (12 L) and small pilot (840 L) scale. Purolite A501 anion exchange resin beads were found to be biocompatible and rapidly deliver air-captured CO2 when immersed directly in an alkaline cultivation medium containing cyanobacteria or microalgae. Flask-scale cultivation trials showed A501 could sustain rapid growth (190 mg/L/d) of the cyanobacterium Synechocy…

Quantifying the Impact of Epigallocatechin Gallate and Piperine on D. tigrina Regeneration
The increasing global cancer burden necessitates exploration of effective and affordable treatments. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a green tea catechin, and piperine, a black pepper alkaloid, have demonstrated promising anti-cancer properties. Leveraging the regenerative capacity of Dugesia tigrina (planaria) and their neoblast stem cells as a model for cancer growth, this study investigated the combined effects of EGCG and piperine on cell proliferation. Planaria were exposed to varying con…

Suspensions of small ultra-soft colloids remain liquids in overcrowded conditions
Concentrated suspensions of small ultra-soft colloids (ultra-low crosslinked microgels) are investigated with scattering and steady shear rheology to capture their equilibrium dynamics. The suspensions lack dynamic arrest, although the slow relaxation time $τ_2$ follows exponential growth with increasing generalized packing fraction, $ζ$. The zero-shear viscosity grows weakly with $ζ$, and never diverges in contrast to other soft glass formers, e.g.~star-polymers, microgels, green particles.…
