The system uses inconspicuous sensors to automatically measure dementia patients' health and care data and suggests personalized treatment options based on their current condition.

Teaching chores to an artificial agent

For many people, household chores are a dreaded, inescapable part of life that we often put off or do with little care. But what if a robot assistant could help lighten the load?

Desert to power programme for Africa

The African Development Bank, the Green Climate Fund and the Africa50 investment fund signed a letter of intent to collaborate on the Desert to Power programme which aims to develop 10,000 MW of solar energy across the Sahel region.

Pop-up EV charging for residential streets

The UEone is an app-operated, pop-up EV charge point for residential streets that retracts underground when not in use, minimising the impact on the urban environment to leave roads free of street clutter.

Organic light-emitting diodes become brighter and more durable

Researchers demonstrate the possibility of using ultrastable film formation to improve the performance of state-of-the-art OLEDs.
