In a project that integrates dynamic charging into road infrastructure, Sweden is constructing the world’s first permanent electrified road—one that can charge electric vehicles while they are in motion. By embedding charging technology directly into highways, the system reduces dependence on stationary charging stations, enables smaller batteries, and boosts efficiency, especially for heavy-duty trucks. It’s […]
In a project that revives the culture of sharing and transforms libraries and community centers into hubs of service and empowerment, London’s Library of Things offers an innovative model for fairer, more sustainable consumption.
