Responsible solutions

The Pacific nation of Tuvalu plans to create a version of itself in the metaverse to preserve its islands, culture, and sovereignty in response to the threat of rising sea levels.

MIT researchers developed a new recrystallization heat treatment that makes 3D-printed metals like gas turbine blades more durable.

Volkswagen creates an all-electric office chair that gives you a vibe of sitting in a Volkswagen vehicle with many high-tech features.

Researchers created an intelligent spelling device that allows people with speech disorders to communicate. The device translates brain signals into single letters and spells sentences on a screen.

Scientists developed ultra-thin radiation-tolerant solar cell designs needed for satellites to head to higher orbits.

A floating wind platform was installed in the Canary Islands of Spain soon to deliver power to the area’s smart grid. The platform is fitted with a turbine and stationed at a 50-meter depth in a downwind configuration connected to a mooring system and a preinstalled dynamic cable.

Energy-generating windows, glass facades, and even portable electronic device screens could replace traditional solar cells. These panels generate electricity once stimulated by sunlight or artificial light, behaving like chlorophyll in photosynthesis.

Diapers made of bamboo, organic cotton, sugarcane, and cornstarch are among the best, non-toxic, and sustainable diapers parents can choose for their babies without breaking the bank.

A company has shrunk the wind turbine from being as tall as the Statue of Liberty to a 10-foot bladeless box that provides more power than solar panels.

Mechanical engineers at UCLA created a new material that uses artificial intelligence to learn behaviors and adapt to different circumstances. The material could be applied in constructing buildings, airplanes, and imaging technology.
