Tests in hospitals and rehabilitation centers have already been successful. Technology that breaks the mold Spatial augmented reality uses real-time projections to expand our perception of our three-dimensional world, creating perfect illusions of fantasy. Researcher and pioneer Martin Fröhlich demonstrates just what this technology is capable of. New technology makes home hydrogen fueling stations feasible A new development by the EPFL Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne is providing fresh impetus for the idea of the hydrogen car. The goal behind the technology is to enable small hydrogen fueling stations in private households and thus facilitate the establishment of a comprehensive hydrogen fuel network. App against fear There is a new app that uses 360-degree images shot by drones to help people overcome their fear of heights. Space travel: Moon and Jupiter in focus While Mars was the focus of space activities in 2021, many missions to the Moon will start this year. In addition, ESA is setting off for Jupiter. And NASA wants to divert an asteroid. New design could make Internet from space even more efficient Earth’s orbit will soon be teeming with new satellites. Companies such as Amazon and Space X want to use them to connect even the remotest corners of the globe to the Internet. Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich recently unveiled how this Internet from space could be optimized even further. Cans can The tin can is the epitome of a mass-produced product. However, its huge success is based on many individual innovations. And the story of this cylindrical tin container is far from over. Holidays on Mars? Robots, journeys into space, and flying cars: Which visions out of science fiction movies have become reality? The classics of the genre in a “reality check”. Electric rockets on two wheels They accelerate like no other vehicle, but not for long: electric motorcycles are not (yet) the hit they could be due to a lack of range. But the electric bullets do offer innovation. Observing animals from space – thanks to mini transmitters Using the space-based observation system Icarus, scientists want to track the movements of animals – and thus find out more about the behavior of various species on Earth.
