    Eureka! Scientists just linked two time crystals together for the first time
    A team of researchers in Europe have successfully created a two-state system using time crystals. The correct response to reading that is: eureka! We would have also accepted “wow,” “OMG,” and “hooray,” given the potential implications of this incredible breakthrough. Up front: Time crystals are a recently discovered phase of matter. In their ground state, they oscillate between different configurations without losing or using energy. (Read more about how tim

    Here’s how the energy crisis can actually help us save the planet
    The current energy crisis has increased gas prices so much that sitting behind your car’s wheel doesn’t come without a high cost (pun intended). And, perhaps, that’s exactly the impetus we need to (partly) ditch our cars once and for all. The rise in gas prices and the subsequent inflation can work as an accelerator for the reduction of car use and the shift to cleaner modes of transport, such as escooters, mopeds, and ebikes. Making the best out of the oil crisis Speaking at

    From cars to buildings, digital twins help us understand tomorrow’s tech and infrastructure — and we need more
    A digital twin is a virtual representation of a real system – a building, the power grid, a city, even a human being – that mimics the characteristics of the system. A digital twin is more than just a computer model, however. It receives data from sensors in the real system to constantly parallel the system’s state. A digital twin helps people analyze and predict a system’s behavior under different conditions. The systems being twinned are typically very complex and requ

    Yes, your business can make money while saving the planet
    Climate tech is an emerging industry that budding entrepreneurs should definitely keep an eye on. And not just because they can solve urgent environmental issues — they can also generate profit. I spoke with Aaron Cohen, co-founder of Therma, which has managed to do exactly that. The US-based company has developed a sensor for commercial refrigerators (in restaurants, schools, convenience stores, etc), which monitors the temperature and humidity levels in real-time. That way, manual check
