Invisible particles that fight cancer cells, faster microprocessors that consume less energy, batteries that last 10 times longer or solar panels that yield twice as much energy. These are just some of the many applications of nanotechnology, a discipline with all the ingredients to turn into the next industrial revolution.
The transition to sustainable mobility and transport electrification are crucial to halting climate change and saving the planet. In the medium term, electric vehicles will replace those with combustion engines, a change that requires research and development of more durable, efficient electric batteries — the core of these vehicles — which must also be kinder to the environment.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to record approval time for COVID-19 vaccines: less than a year. Since that year of lockdown, the World Health Organisation has approved several vaccines for diseases that, like COVID-19, have affected large numbers of people around the world, e.g. Ebola, polio, malaria, papillomavirus, and is in the process of approving a vaccine against monkeypox (Mpox). In view of its importance let's find out a little more about the history of this medical breakthrough that has saved millions of lives since it was discovered and will continue to do so in the future.
An efficient home enables you to save energy and some methods of making these improvements such as a façade with insulating properties, windows that don't lose heat and to control water consumption are quite affordable. Let's look at how you can make your home even more environmentally friendly.
