From grey to green. From carbon to hydrogen. From Paris to the rest of the world. Renewable gases such as biomethane or green hydrogen will be the main characters in the following years. Clean energies that find in innovation the perfect ally to reach a common goal: to be carbon neutral by 2050.

It is incredible how nature devises sustainable solutions to regenerate itself.

Synthetic fibres that imitate human skin, fabrics that deliver medicine or repel viruses. The application of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, nanotechnology, semiconductor devices and even specialised software heralds a revolution in the textile industry that promises to change our daily lives.

Predicting when and how seismic movements will occur on the Earth is one of the great aspirations of scientists. Technologies derived from artificial intelligence such as big data analysis or deep learning are beginning to provide clues about how to achieve this: neural networks or heat maps may be the key to predicting earthquakes.
