Resources and materials: how to guide their management throughout the life cycle
The EPA presents sustainable materials management as an approach to using materials more productively throughout their life cycle. Its hierarchy prioritizes reducing, reusing, and recycling, without proposing a single strategy for all ma...
Climate system: how the greenhouse effect works
NASA explains how certain gases trap heat near Earth’s surface, why water vapor acts as a feedback, and how the increase in gases associated with human activities alters the energy balance.
Reproducibility: what practices and materials make it possible to examine a research study
The European Commission presents open science as an approach that combines sharing results, transparent and reproducible practices, and responsible management of research outputs. The examples of CERN Open Data and the National Academies...
Nuclear energy: how a reactor converts fission into electricity
The U.S. Department of Energy explains how uranium fission produces heat and how pressurized-water and boiling-water reactors use different paths for water and steam to drive a turbine.
The history of science at CERN: from theoretical collaboration to the Standard Model
CERN’s institutional history traces how a theory group created to plan a laboratory combined research, scientific collaboration, and exchange with experimentalists, and links that trajectory with the organization of particles in the Stan...
Water and water footprint in power plants: what EIA’s account allows us to say
EIA mentions that some power plants may require cooling water supplies, but the excerpt does not quantify their use. Therefore, it does not allow us to determine or compare the water footprint of electricity generation.
