Measuring circularity from buildings to neighbourhoods

The circular economy (CE) aims to eliminate the concept of pollution and waste generation, maintain the integrity of the product over several use cycles, and focus on closing material and energy loops.Circularity metrics are relevant for monitoring, reporting and communicating CE implementation progress.Applied to buildings, these metrics deliver s

Making the most of existing data in conservation research

Much attention in recent years has been focused on making biodiversity data open and accessible to researchers.Yet ensuring the availability of these data is only the first step in preventing data waste.Here, we argue that researchers need to do a better job of using available datasets.We recommend that researchers search for existing data sources

No drama in two-dimensional black hole evaporation

We numerically calculate the spacetime describing the formation and DS Glass Ornament evaporation of a regular black hole in 2D dilaton gravity.The apparent horizons evaporate smoothly in finite time to form a compact trapped region.We nevertheless see rich dynamics: an antitrapped region forms alongside the black hole and additional compact trappe
