Charging into the Future

High-energy particles are very useful things if you can get them. These incredibly tiny objects underpin work within medical sciences, the electronics industry and vital physics research. The emerging technology of plasma-wakefield acceleration promises to make particle accelerators 1000 times smaller, cheaper and more widely available.

EV vehicles are described as a more sustainable transport option and a potential way to address the challenge of climate change. But what is sustainability anyway and just how sustainable is an EV? Associate Professor Sheehan breaks down the issues around EV vehicles and sustainability, and cuts through the green washing to get to the truth about Sustainable Development.
