Asynchronous horizons durable-strategies dynamic games

Written by

Graphic representing the environmental degradation that comes as a result of climate change. Dr Yeung and Dr Petrosyan have developed a theoretical solution based on the ideas of cooperative game theory that relies on cross-generational involvement to negate the current climate crisis.

Professor David Yeung from Shue Yan University, China, and Professor Leon Petrosyan from St Petersburg State University, Russia, are using game theory to understand responses to climate change. They have identified two critical features of real-life problems that involve strategic interactions – durable strategies and participants’ asynchronous horizons – and have developed a new class of dynamic games to solve […]

High entropy to power a high energy world

Written by

A home energy storage system based on a lithium ion battery pack.

Scientists are continuously searching for new materials whose properties may solve the toughest challenges of our heavily technological society. To tackle the need for longer-lasting energy storage, for example, Dr Ben Breitung, Dr Torsten Brezesinski and their teams at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are developing high-entropy materials by diversifying the composition of crystal structures. The properties of these […]
