Using cheap and abundant starting materials, a group of World Universities Network researchers have synthesized a small molecule organic electrode material, which yielded a considerable performance boost
Clean and sustainable energy storage and production are essential to meet the growing demand for energy. However, long-term natural resource scarcity is an impediment to achieving this objective. Advanced materials science and engineering are on the cutting edge of creating viable solutions to complex energy problems. The result of one such endeavor is the current…

SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – Marye Anne Fox, UC San Diego’s first woman chancellor, died Sunday at age 73, UCSD announced today.
Fox was UCSD’s seventh chancellor and led the university “during a historic era of extraordinary campus growth and through unprecedented financial challenges,” Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla said in a statement.
Under her leadership, UCSD completed a billion-dollar capital campaign, celebrated its 50th anniversary and expanded the campus to accommodate student growth and a billion-dollar research enterprise.

Global Development and Environmental Change
The Global Development and Environmental Change (GDEC) research strand brings together physical geographers and human geographers to investigate the interactions between major social and environmental processes, such as urbanisation, economic development, political conflict, climate change, resource extraction, environmental degradation, deforestation, biodiversity loss and disease outbreaks.
Aims and purpose
Moving beyond the North/South divides, we seek to generate evidence to inform local, national and global efforts to advance peace, prosperity and social justice in an environmentally sustainable manner within the context of a rapidly changing climate. Members of the group explore questions such as: How will environmental changes affect mortality rates in cities? How can we improve flood risk mapping in areas with limited data on exposure and vulnerability? How do communities living in areas pron
