How are engineers contributing to a sustainable future?

Futurum

For example, on hot sunny days, the façade can provide shade and turn a lighter colour to reflect heat from the sun, thereby reducing the energy required for cooling. If we could make these transistors more efficient, less energy would be wasted, which is why Professor Peter Gammon is developing transistors made of silicon carbide.
