Megatrends 2022: These Changes Will Determine the Future
Individualisation, always on, self-optimisation, neo-ecology and mobility.
The European automobile industry is going quantum
The low hanging fruit is autonomous driving. Despite the early hype, researchers and automobile makers have yet to crack the self-driving car nut
A swarm of cooperative, 3D-printing drones for construction and repair
Researchers have created a swarm of bee-inspired drones that can collectively 3D print material while in flight, allowing limitless manufacturing for building and repairing structures
The Age of Sustainable Entrepreneurship
Startups and innovative people are developing the technology as well as the societal and psychological changes required to transform both the physical and internal worlds of each individual toward a more sustainable and better world.?
This Vertical Farm Grows Carbon-Neutral Algae Next to a Geothermal Power Plant
Vaxa Technologies is cultivating spirulina algae indoors, and a new study found that its process is carbon-neutral and emissions-free.
Tiny Swimming Robots Treat Deadly Pneumonia In Mice
Nanoengineers have developed microscopic robots, called microrobots, that can swim around in the lungs, deliver medication and be used to clear up life-threatening cases of bacterial pneumonia.
Microbots smaller than an ant’s head can move autonomously and untethered
Tiny bots can walk autonomously without being externally controlled.
Can we balance our carbon budget by using less stuff?
