Europe’s path to energy independence begins with clean heating
Tom Vasseur, Director of EUUSEW’s partner organization Cool Heating Coalition, and Bianca Bittencourt, Strategic Communications Coordinator, detail how Europe’s dependence on fossil gas imports exposes households to geopolitical shocks, creating an urgent need for faster investment in clean heating and energy independence. Europe’s dependence on fossil fuel imports may seem like an abstract issue at […]
Configurability for powerful edge computing
The CAPE project develops computer architectures for efficient edge clouds. Supporting AI-driven environments with networks of autonomous devices that maintain context and individual and shared state requires a powerful locally deployed edge cloud infrastructure. This allows devices to work together and in unison towards individual shared goals. To scale sustainably, this infrastructure must be delivered […]
Why the water sector needs to rethink its values
Jeannette Henderson, Principal of Innovation at Ofwat, talks about the importance of protecting natural systems while tackling the increasingly prevalent problem of PFAS. Chemicals forever force the water sector to face an unpleasant reality. That means the most important infrastructure we manage is not pipes or treatment facilities, but natural systems that we have long […]
Proton ceramic cell for large-scale high temperature electrolysis
The PEPPER project is paving the way for the scale-up of next-generation steam electrolysis technology. Although the water splitting reaction seems simple, producing green hydrogen by electrolysis remains an electricity-intensive process. In this context, high-temperature steam electrolysis techniques appear to be the most promising, as most of the energy required for the splitting of water […]
How standardized geospatial schemas can transform global risk management
RSS-Hydro’s new “Pin” Earth observation concept has the potential to transform emergency response and global risk management. The Earth Observation (EO) industry is undergoing fundamental changes. We are moving from the era of “pretty maps” to the era of “practical impact.” At the forefront of this evolution is RSS-Hydro. Its “Pin” concept is effectively rewriting […]
Inside Europe’s single-use plastics directive
Plastic is so ingrained in modern life that it often goes unnoticed. From takeaway coffee lids to food packaging to cigarette filters, many everyday items are designed to be used once and then discarded within minutes. The environmental costs of this convenience can no longer be ignored. In response, the European Union introduced the Single-Use […]
University of Oulu builds the future of human-AI partnership
Hybrid Intelligence (HI) at the University of Oulu in Finland is accelerating the co-evolution of humans and AI to enhance human agency. Current approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) remain narrow and have yet to realize its full transformative potential. With hybrid intelligence (HI), researchers are looking toward a future where the relationship between humans and […]
Stabilizes hypochlorous acid and improves skin
Avantamine provides an innovative solution to stabilize hypochlorous acid (HOCl), increasing its high concentration and long-lasting effects on the skin. When your body is attacked by a pathogen (bacteria, fungi, or virus) and you develop a skin infection, your immune system prompts your white blood cells to produce a compound called hypochlorous acid. Hypochlorous acid […]
First Hydrogen expands contract to advance next-generation unmanned ground vehicles
The updated Letter of Intent (LOI) grants the company exclusive worldwide rights to develop and commercialize a patented unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) designed for both autonomous and remote operation. Unmanned ground vehicles are land-based robotic systems that rely on remote control or autonomous navigation to operate without a human on board. These systems are increasingly […]
NASA outlines phased moon base strategy
NASA’s new roadmap links lunar infrastructure, commercial partnerships, and nuclear propulsion to long-term exploration goals. A comprehensive series of policy and program updates by NASA signal a structural shift in how the United States plans to operate in space over the next decade. The changes, announced at a recent agency-wide briefing, are consistent with the […]
