By providing flexibility services to renewable energy systems, consumers can both help in balancing power grids and receive financial benefits. Hosna Khajeh’s doctoral dissertation from the University of Vaasa, Finland, introduces new methods that enable the efficient utilisation of energy users’ flexibility resources in distribution and transmission networks.

The melting of Greenland is accelerating, with an estimated loss of between 964 and 1735 gigatonnes of ice per year by 2100 in a scenario of high greenhouse gas emissions (SSP585), according to three regional climate models. This melting will lead to a rise in sea levels of up to one metre, threatening millions of people in coastal areas. New research conducted by the University of Liège and supported in particular by its NIC5 supercomputer will contribute to future IPCC assessments.

Scientists are revolutionizing microproteomics by combining droplet-based microfluidics with mass spectrometry. This approach enhances proteomic profiling in small cell populations, especially single cells, by minimizing sample loss and reagent use, accelerating reactions, and increasing throughput, enabling highly sensitive single-cell proteomic analysis with promising future applications.

The team proposed a new index structure called HATree.
