The year 2022 was marked by multiple projects aimed at commercialising energy storage solutions. Among these initiatives was the world’s first sand-based thermal energy storage launched by the Finnish company Polar Night Energy in the town of Kankaanpää in the south of Finland.
Geophysicists from Tomsk State University, the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and a number of relevant RAS institutes have put forward a new hypothesis regarding the causes of warming at the Earth’s poles. They believe that the climate changes in the Arctic that took place in 1979–1980 and the intense destruction of glaciers in the Antarctic in the late 20th century might have been caused by disastrous earthquakes.
