A machine to stop climate change
September 7, 2018
Hate carbon dioxide to warm the planet? Switzerland has a giant machine that sucks carbon dioxide from the air and works better than plants. In essence, it is a gigantic artificial tree. Zime Climeworks AG, based in Zurich, is the world's first facility to capture atmospheric CO2 in the industry. The amount (900 tonnes) of carbon dioxide that the plant takes each year is approximately the same as the amount emitted by 200 cars at the same time.

A faster diagnosis of cerebral hemorrhage with IA
September 7, 2018
Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine in Mount Sinai, USA, developed an artificial intelligence platform that can identify the disease during a 1.2 second brain scan and diagnose any a range of acute neurological diseases, such as stroke and haemorrhage. The study shows that the system was faster than the human diagnosis. This is the first study to use AI to detect acute neurologic events and to demonstrate direct clinical application.
A spaceship for intergalactic voyages
September 7, 2018
Remember the hunting boats led by Valerian (Dane DeHaan) in the movie 2017 Valerian and the city with a thousand planets? The American design and technology company Lexus has developed a concept of a futuristic single-seater called Skyjet, which will take future human beings on intergalactic journeys. Powered by a compact fuel cell capsule, the Skyjet will use clean, renewable energy to travel in space, around 2740.

A little space for more memory
September 7, 2018
The densest and most solid memory of history is here. It could soon exceed the capabilities of current hard drives by 1,000 times. Scientists from the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, claim that they can use the hydrogen atoms to increase their storage capacity. They were able to achieve a storage density of 128 TB per square inch. That's a lot more than the current 10 TB hard drives, which have about 512 GB per square inch.
