AS THE IET starts to reopen the collections in its Archives to members and researchers, it can also restart some of the cataloguing and research projects that have been on hold over the last 18 months. One such project is the re-cataloguing of the correspondence of Dame Caroline Haslett.

THE UK GOVERNMENT'S recent 'right to repair' law may be a step in the right direction for consumers and for the environment, but should the legislation have been wider reaching in order to further incentivise the transition to circularity and servitisation? To require manufacturers to become providers not only of products, but of outcomes, experiences and ongoing services too?

OFFSHORE wind farms are becoming a familiar site in prime shallow-water locations around the world, from South Korea to the North Sea. Most of these are anchored in the seabed, but winds are stronger and more consistent further offshore, so energy companies are turning their attention to deeper waters unsuitable for anchored turbines.

THE UK'S HOUSEBUILDERS will have to consider much more than bricks and mortar if they are to do their bit for climate change. Every new home must now be designed and constructed for maximum energy efficiency. Simplistically, things appear to be on course, but remain work-in-progress. Across the industry; drums are being banged with little dissent about the why what, and how, albeit with some variations in tune and tempo according to individual agendas. Perhaps not surprisingly, more clarity, less uncertainty and, inevitably, more tangible government support would be welcomed.

GLASGOW IS about to host the first five-year review of the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change, and countries are expected to announce updates to their plans for reducing emissions, but many commentators are frustrated that new targets simply point to ambitions for, and not action on, climate change.

CHINA'S Operation National Sword policy initiative curbed the country's imports of most types of solid waste for disposal, and imposed stringent limits on the materials that it will accept for recycling. The policy's ramifications have hugely impacted the many foreign economies that for decades relied on China's materials recovery facilities (MRFs) to deal with the bulk of their recyclable waste materials, from plastics and packaging to glass, metals, and wood.

VICTORIA FALLS Bridge was the brainchild of British administrator and financier Cecil Rhodes, who envisioned a railway scheme the length of the African continent, from Cape Town, South Africa, to Cairo, Egypt. The former governor of Rhodesia (today Zambia and Zimbabwe) reputedly instructed the bridge's engineers to "build the bridge across the Zambezi where the trains as they pass will catch the spray from the Falls". But sadly, he never even got to visit the falls, and died before construction of the bridge began.

THERE IS A lot that Nasa's Perseverance rover has on its to-do list. Flying helicopters is only a small part of it. The rover, fitted with seven cutting-edge instruments for analysing rocks, the atmosphere and weather, is ultimately searching for signs of past and present life on Mars. But it will not do it on its own. The Perseverance mission is only the first step in a much greater project. Using its small drill, Perseverance will excavate promising pieces of Martian soil and store them in small tubes on the planet's surface for another rover to retrieve at the end of this decade.
