Self-repairing and snow-melting concrete, climbing drones, solar roads… Let’s see how technology and engineering get together to build the future.
Wind is a great ally in the generation of renewable energy. Wind farms already produce a significant share of global electricity capacity, but the help of wind in fighting climate change might not stop there.
A project devised at the University of La Coruña (Universidade da Coruña, UDC) is trying to exploit the insulating properties of this material in order to implement it into an innovative green building model.
The new urban cityscapes will be defined by innovative technologies such as 3D printing – making construction faster, cheaper and more efficient than ever.
Structural corrosion of concrete is one of the main reasons for it breaking up when used in buildings. Detecting this is both very costly and damages the structure.
Urban signage is not foreign to the latest advances in artificial intelligence. The latest example would be an updated version of the classic pedestrian crossing.
It is just a matter of time until this smart and robotic help arrives to the field of construction. Pay attention to these three promising prototypes that we have come across.
This improved steel will become the most durable, non-stick, non-corrosive material known to date.
New technologies are revolutionizing many sectors, greatly improving not only profitability, but also the ways in which businesses market their products to potential customers.
Results gathered from tests performed in Beijing show that these windows can sequester up to 90% of air pollutants.
Translucent wood, luminescent cement, bricks made of cigarette butts, concrete to urbanize Mars… Discover these new innovative and sustainable building materials.
Renewable energy, electric mobility, self-driving vehicles, and pedestrian-friendly routes are some of the project's features.
An ambitious wildlife crossing project will allow mountain lions and other animals to cross a ten-lane freeway in Los Angeles.
An innovative prototype uses hexagonal mycelium tiles covering building facades as an innovative solution to air pollution.
Capable of carrying six passengers at a speed of one hundred and fifty-five mph, they are the new generation of urban air mobility vehicles.
Through the combination of sensors and algorithms, smart traffic lights will improve traffic and reduce pollution
