This month’s cubed focuses on the new challenges that climate change may bring, and the solutions that are already being developed. Scientists at Imperial College London are looking more deeply at what impact this change may have on ecosystems. By simulating predicted rainfall, they are carrying out vital research into what species could go missing from an ecosystem, and whether this brings vulnerability to the ecosystem.

Here at cubed we keep you up to date with the science that’s shaping our society and bringing a new dimension to everyday life. We give you the latest innovations in fashion and music, design and digital, film and life, to bring you the products and ideas that will change our world - prepare to be cubed...
