Historic buildings could use solar panels to protect from rising energy costs
Historic buildings could use solar panels to protect from rising energy costs
Installing solar panels could help historic buildings beat the rising costs of energy, according to a new study. I'm hopeful our work will encourage other historical buildings to consider installing solar panels Alan Bowman Researchers have carried out a feasibility study and found that installing solar panels on the Grade I listed Bath Abbey could save around 10 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the Abbey and other key heritage buildings that are difficult to insulate.

Researcher predicts spacecraft's brush with comet
Researcher predicts spacecraft’s brush with comet
For the second time in its mission so far, the Sun-observing spacecraft Solar Orbiter has flown through the tail of a comet, generating a wealth of science data - helped by an early prediction of the event by a UCL PhD researcher. For several days in mid-December, the European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft - which carries instruments designed and built at UCL - found itself flying through the ion tail of Comet C/2021 A1 Leonard, analysing particles from the comet and the way its tail interacted with the solar wind.
