Tel Aviv, the first city with an electric road that recharges public transport
Testing of the first electric road that wirelessly charges public transport starts in Tel Aviv. If they are positive there will be an entire network that will do without charging stations
The future is fungal: why the “megascience” of mycology is growing
A living organism that can reduce temperature and radiation, become a construction material, dress us, feed us and "open our horizons": mycology studies all this, and Merlin Sheldrake is one of its apostles.
ReCharge Concept, Goodyear and “rechargeable” tires
Technical tests of "infinite" tyres. Goodyear presents ReCharge Concept: it is rechargeable, does not deflate and adapts to different road conditions.
The streets of South Africa will be redone with recycled plastic bottles
In South Africa, recovering recycled plastic is a more than viable path. I would actually say a highway. Here's why.
Produced an eco-friendly defroster with grape skins: goodbye salt
It serves as air when the streets are full of snow, but de-icing salt is not very friendly to the environment. Don't worry, the alternative is here.
Developed hydrogel that becomes more solid with increasing heat
A new hydrogel developed in Japan solidifies when exposed to heat: it can become a formidable protection from road and sports accidents.
Developed a rubber floor that shelters in the rain
The formula uses water as a catalyst that forms a filler in cracks, regenerating the rubber floor every time it rains.
Plastic roads for the cars of the future
Plastic roads are four times lighter in structure than asphalt, assemble like LEGO and turn waste into recyclable resources.
How hi-tech rehabilitation works
#technology increasingly helps those with temporary or permanent disabilities. The latest news was from a few days ago: people with complete paralysis were able to partially recover some functions (sense of touch, sensation of pain, bladder control and some movements) thanks to just one year of 'hi-tech' #rehabilitation with man-machine interfaces, virtual reality and avatars. The research, the results of which were published in the journal Scientific Reports, was conducted on eight patients with severe paralysis: the few nerves that remained intact after the accident managed to… Read more
