One thing will become an increasingly problematic issue for future urban planners: air pollution. In many places, fine dust particles are increasing in cities and on busy roads, while measuring stations can only measure local values. Copenhagen would now like to tackle this problem with Google. Because in order to measure fine dust values ​​at different places in the city, you no longer have to set up measuring stations; a mobile measurement can also be carried out. Google drives its Street View vehicles through the metropolis every day, so converting these cars could be the solution. Street ..read more

From year to year we experience more and more the effects of climate change. Floods are increasing, heat waves are becoming part of everyday life and the impact on people is also becoming clear. A new study has now examined how many deaths can already be attributed to climate change. The data basis is almost 30 Millions of reported deaths and their causes. The following were examined 43 Countries in the period 1600 to 2018, based on calculations it was assumed how many people would actually have perished if the world had not changed. The difference is the number of climatic deaths. In additi ..read more

The future of transport is networked and at least partially autonomous. Many vehicles already have dozens of driver assistance systems, cameras and sensors around the car to ensure safe use in everyday life. This is also the case with Tesla, the vehicle’s camera system has now helped solve a crime. We’re jumping into the United States, a country where gun ownership isn’t really that special. This is also one of the reasons why dangerous incidents happen again and again, in Riverside, Orange and around Los Angeles, for example, a person shot at moving vehicles. The infotainment system also co ..read more

As soon as the number of new corona infections decreases every day, we have time again to devote ourselves to other topics. This is where climate change has been coming back into play lately, also in the past 18 Months ago there were interesting suggestions for solving the problem. Hairdressers from the UK have an interesting approach. Because even if we don’t actually pay any attention to the topic, tons of hair arise here every year that have to be disposed of. Mostly on the residual waste, as a result CO2 is produced during incineration. Image: Carlos Magno That is why in the last 10 mont ..read more

It remains exciting to see what tomorrow’s mobility will look like. In my opinion, one thing is clear and another is not quite certain. The clear point is that the mobility of the future must become emission-free. Electric cars and those with hydrogen will drive through the republic and the air values ​​will be significantly better as a result. The not so sure thing is whether and when we are on the road with completely autonomous vehicles. There are still many regulatory and infrastructural hurdles, but once these have been resolved, there is nothing to be said against boarding robot taxis ..read more

The blockchain is actually supposed to ensure more decentralization, democracy and transparency, but only a fraction of the business models survive on the market. What needs to be done so that the technology finally catches on? The Polish programmer Przemysław Thomann 2018 had the idea of ​​building a blockchain platform – Mobycrypt, a cryptocurrency exchange. The platform should provide the capability within minutes ..read more

In order to protect ourselves from the catastrophic consequences of climate change, we need innovative and good ideas in the next few years. In addition to the sustainable production of energy, building materials and other consumer goods, we should also rethink existing processes in our everyday life and readjust them if necessary. A study from the UK made an interesting thought experiment on this. The researchers looked at what activities produce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and found that our working life has great potential for savings . If the country were to switch to a 4-da ..read more

In order to achieve our climate goals, we will have to generate significantly more electricity from sustainable sources in the near future. In addition to solar energy, wind power also plays a major role. A particularly large amount of electricity could be generated in the open sea, here it is predominantly windy, at the same time there is plenty of space. But how can wind farms be operated on the high seas? Many corporations have been working on this topic for years, today’s systems can only work in 07 meters depth. Floating wind farms could soon change that, the large corporation General El ..read more

Juice Technology AG, the manufacturer behind the popular Juice Booster 2 that I had already tested , is coming onto the market with a new solution for electric car drivers. This time it is not about hardware, but a multifunctional web and mobile app that bundles all relevant vehicle, driving and charging data in one place. j + Pilot The software solution “j + pilot” concentrates all relevant information on the vehicle, driving behavior, charging processes and energy consumption in one place. The app also serves as a tax-approved logbook and, thanks to the integrated activation and control fun ..read more

Year after year we also see to what extent technology helps us in researching new treatment methods and to what extent complex issues are increasingly being resolved. So it is with an interesting piece of news from the United States that could give great hope to blind people. Because researchers have now succeeded in partially restoring a man’s eyesight. On the eyes of the 58 – a year-old man from France has been transplanted with proteins that absorb light and pass it on to the visual center in the brain. This not only sounds complicated, the research for this took a total of 12 Years of wor ..read more
