For the climate: cycling like the Danes Danes cycle about 1.6 kilometres every day. If everyone cycled that much, 414 tonnes of carbon dioxide could be saved every year.

Climate change causes global economy to shrink significantly According to a new forecast, the global economy is at risk of shrinking by around a fifth by the middle of the century due to climate change. Surfaces that kill viruses Empa researchers have tracked viruses as they pass through face masks and compared their failure on the filter layers of different types of masks. The new method should now accelerate the development of surfaces that can kill viruses. Paper-thin solar cell turns any surface into a power source MIT engineers have developed ultra-light fabric solar cells that can quickly and easily turn any surface into a power source. Early warning system to save endangered species Biodiversity is declining rapidly. In order to recognise species worthy of protection in time, a research group from Fribourg wants to combine artificial intelligence, image data and citizen science. Unused mobile phones hold huge potential The metal of discarded mobile phones in Germany is sufficient to cover the material demand for smartphones for the next ten years - purely mathematically.
