ALT Climate change is one of humankind’s biggest challenges, leading to more frequent and intense climate extremes, including heatwaves, wildfires, hurricanes, ocean acidification, and increased extinction rates. Nanotechnology already plays an important role in decarbonizing critical processes. Still, despite the technical advances seen in the last decades, the International Energy Agency has identified many sectors that are not on track to achieve the global climate mitigation goals by 2030. Here, a multi-stakeholder group of nanoscientists from the public, private, and philanthropic sectors discuss four high-potential application spaces where nanotechnologies could accelerate progress: batteries and energy storage; catalysis; coatings, lubricants, membranes, and other interface technology; and capture of greenhouse gases. This Comment highlights opportunities and current gaps for those working to minimize the climate crisis and provides a framework for the nanotechnology community to an

ALT Mr. Andrew Smith will present ELIXIR: Working Together to Accelerate the Understanding of Life on April 12, 2024, at 12 p.m. About the Seminar ELIXIR is a pan-European research infrastructure for life science data. It recently published its Scientific Programme at https://elixir-europe.org/news/programme-2024-28, setting out its vision for the next 5 years. ELIXIR’s new strategic priorities acknowledge the importance of not only investing in science and technology but also building capacity and increasing participation in ELIXIR member countries. Already present in more than 20 countries across Europe, ELIXIR will work to: Enable scientists across the globe to access and analyse life science data Deliver services to support federated data management and analytics in life science Equip national ELIXIR Nodes for successful long-term operations Develop people and capacity to benefit science and society
