Materials have the potential to be the centrepiece for the transition to viable renewable energy technologies if they realise a specific suite of properties and achieve a desired set of performance metrics. The envisioned transition involves the discovery of materials that enable generation, conversion, storage, transmission, and utilization of renewable energy. This book presents, through the eye of materials chemistry, an umbrella view of the myriad of classes of materials that make renewable energy technologies work. They are poised to facilitate the transition of non-renewable and unsustainable energy systems of the past into renewable and sustainable energy systems of the future. It is a story that often begins in chemistry laboratories with the discovery of new energy materials. Yet, to displace materials in existing energy technologies with new ones, depends not only on the ability to design and engineer a superior set of performance metrics for the material and the technology but also the requirement to meet a demanding collection of economic, regulatory, social, policy, environmental and sustainability criteria. Disruption in the traditional way of discovering materials is coming with the emergence of artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotic automation designed to accelerate the well-established discovery process, massive libraries of materials can be evaluated and the possibilities are endless. This book provides a perspective on the application of these new technologies to this field as well as an overview of energy materials discovery in the broader techno-economic and social context. Any budding researcher or more experienced materials scientist will find a guide to a fascinating story of discovery and emerge with a vision of what is next.

'When the rains fell, the world burned...' After a childhood spent in the foster care system, failed PhD student Amy Weston attracts trouble wherever she goes. Acid rain is destroying London's trees, brain lesions are turning once-harmless pets into killer dogs, and her new work colleague, Professor Joel Harket, is the most infuriating man she has ever met.

From the UN Air Health summit in Beijing to the abandoned tunnels beneath the city of London, Amy and Joel search for answers to prevent the end of the world, and as Nelson's Column crumbles and zombie-like 'howlers' wreak havoc worldwide, they discover that the only way to survive the apocalypse is to set aside their differences... and learn to trust each other.

Erstmals werden hier alle zwölf Briefe des oberägyptischen Mönchsvaters Pachom (287–347) auf Deutsch veröffentlicht. Die merkwürdige „Geheimschrift“, die mehr als die Hälfte dieser Dokumente durchzieht, hat schon immer Kopfzerbrechen bereitet, angefangen bei Pachoms Mitbrüdern und bei Hieronymus, der sie ins Lateinische übersetzt hat, über den Jesuiten Athanasius Kircher (1602–1680), bis hin zu Forschern des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts wie Emanuele Testa, Ilona Opelt und Hans Quecke. In diesem Buch wird ein Lösungsvorschlag vorgelegt, der in sich konsistent ist und sich in der Durchführung als tragfähig erweist. So tritt neben die Übersetzung der Briefe auch ihre Deutung. Besonders auffallend ist das Buchstabenquadrat, das sich mitten unter den Briefen befindet, dessen Deutung sich aber gleichfalls an die für die Briefe entwickelten Lösungsansätze anschließt. Die Botschaft Pachoms, die in allen Briefen zum Ausdruck kommt, stützt sich auf vier einfache Grundgedanken: 1. Warnung vor irdischer Gesinnung, 2. In der Bedrängnis finden wir Rettung, 3. Gottes Gebot besteht in der Bruderliebe, 4. Diese gilt es zu erfüllen angesichts der Ewigkeit. Mit diesen Gedanken ist Pachom verankert in der Mönchstheologie seiner Zeit. Sein Spezifikum als „Vater der Koinobiten“ tritt aber in dem 3. und 4. Grundgedanken in besonders charakteristischer Weise hervor.
