PFAS, the so-called forever chemicals, are a recurring thread: commercial-scale destruction of these compounds, portable sensors for water testing and new laboratory equipment for food safety. Readers concerned about what comes out of the tap will find the most practical material here.
Energy is the other major theme, with European storage projects, a green investment portfolio worth $1 billion, AI applied to fusion, battery testing and small firms competing for the EUSEW 2026 energy efficiency award. Aviation and farming also appear through fuel-efficient aircraft and fertiliser research. Some headlines promise more than the science delivers, so treat bold claims as a starting point for your own reading.
