In the wake of the 2022 floods, Pakistan has pioneered a risk-informed approach to school infrastructure that could reshape how we think about education safety. By integrating clear engineering guidelines into routine planning, provinces can prioritize investments based on risk. This means standardized specs for repairs, shared responsibilities, and solid coordination between government and partners.

The end goal? Safer classrooms, fewer dropouts, and resilient education systems.

Exciting news in solar tech! A global research team has developed a passive cooling system for solar modules using innovative nanofluids made from graphene oxide and MXene. This setup not only reduced temperatures by over 24°C but also boosted power output by nearly 15%. With potential applications in urban solar cooling, this could be a game-changer for efficiency! https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/13/cooling-solar-modules-with-nanofluids-based-on-graphene-oxide-mxene/

Cooling solar modules with nanofluids based on graphene oxide, Mxene

An international research group has developed a novel solar module passive cooling system that integrates three-dimensional oscillating heat pipe (3D-OHP) with different combinations of nanofluids based on hybrid graphene oxide (GO) and a two-dimensional titanium carbide known as MXene (Ti3C2Tx). MXene compounds take their name from their graphene-like morphology and are made via selective etching of <a href="https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/04/13/cooling-solar-modules-with-nanofluids-based-on-graphene-oxide-mxene/" class="more-link">[…]</a>
