Net zero confidence
Without fully implementing net-zero pledges, the world will miss climate goals
Without more legally binding and well-planned net-zero policies, the world is highly likely to miss key climate targets.

New partnership will use molecular glues to tackle ‘undruggable’ disease targets
Researchers at Imperial, the Francis Crick Institute and AstraZeneca will advance the discovery of new ‘molecular glues’ to treat a range of diseases.
Shining ring around black holes recreated in the lab
Imperial researchers have created a spinning disc of plasma in a lab, mimicking discs found around black holes and forming stars.
Signs that a rocky exoplanet could have an atmosphere detected by JWST
Scientists working with the James Webb Space Telescope say new data potentially shows water vapour around a rocky exoplanet – a first if confirmed.
