Scientists are looking for ways to use the low-value energy widely distributed in natural environments to generate electricity. A research team has created a power generator that collects the natural atmospheric humidity and produces continuous electrical signals. This is the first humidity generator designed using a nano-sized material called polyoxometalates. It holds the potential of being a new research direction for polyoxometalates in the sustainable utilization of low-value energy. The team's work is published in the journal Nano Research on August 01.

Uncertainty about accommodation is becoming a deal-breaker for international students, factoring into their decisions about where they study – and whether they head abroad in the first place. An IDP survey has found that housing is now a prime consideration for prospective international students from East Asia. Almost two-thirds of Chinese respondents said they wanted to secure accommodation before leaving their country, and of these, almost three-quarters said they would not travel otherwise.

Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen is embarking on her most ambitious season yet.

LONDON – British consumer price inflation fell to 10.1 percent in March from February's 10.4 percent, figures from the Office for National Statistics showed on Wednesday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast that the annual CPI rate would drop to 9.8 percent in March, moving further away from October's 41-year high of 11.1 percent but still eating into the spending power of workers whose pay is rising by less. Despite falling in March, Britain's inflation rate was the highest in Western Europe.
