Just as one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. The waste from one production stream can be transformed into a valuable resource for another, resulting in a society that produces no waste. Geothermal energy is an abundant and sustainable source of energy that is often overlooked in favor of more popular renewable energy sources such […]

As we continue to live in a digital age, electronic devices have become an integral part of our daily lives. We use them to communicate, work, and entertain ourselves, but have you ever stopped to consider the potential impact on our physical bodies? The constant use of electronic devices could lead to significant changes in […]
The Russia-Ukraine war has been a hot topic in international politics for over seven years now. While many view the conflict as a geopolitical battle between two neighboring countries, others speculate that the war may have a deeper economic purpose.

As our world becomes increasingly digital, the production and disposal of electronic devices have reached staggering levels. Unfortunately, the majority of electronic waste, or e-waste, is not disposed of in a responsible or sustainable manner. Instead, it ends up in landfills or shipped to developing countries, where it is often improperly recycled, leading to significant […]
The hunger for fossil fuel is not what it once was. The urgent need for a sustainable solution to help limit environmental damage has showcased that fossil fuels are not the only way to go. Fuel alternatives started becoming mainstream, making life easier for companies in various sectors by helping them reduce costs and become […]
Smart cities, cognitive cities’ predecessors, as a concept, are not as brand new as you might think. In fact, in 1974, Los Angeles created the first urban big data project, “A Cluster Analysis of Los Angeles,” fast forward to 1994, and Amsterdam hopped on the wagon with a virtual digital city, “De Digital Stad” (DDS), […]
A new carbon dioxide battery (CO2) has entered the energy market. Yes, you did read that right, a CO2 battery, and it might be just what wind turbines are looking for to help them harness the full force of the wind. Carbon dioxide is used in the technology to store heat and pressure energy. It’s […]
Mark Twain, the greatest humorist the US has produced, once said that “History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme.” What’s past is past, but it does come back in a similar but not the same form (i.e., a rhyme). Accordingly, the Digital Silk Route (DSR) is not identical to the traditional silk route, […]
