The birth of the microprocessor, in the early 1970s, sparked legal battles, conceptual challenges, and a veritable race for the jump to personal computers. The order of a Japanese calculator company was responsible for bringing this technology to market, until then classified as a military secret, which has been key to the evolution towards today's digital society.

Achieving a greener car goes beyond the zero-emission car (electric or hydrogen). Alternatives such as new sensors for more efficient driving, cleaner combustion engines or less polluting production, already apply improvements to current vehicles to achieve more environmentally friendly mobility.

Life underground is not, exclusively, science fiction, nor is it necessarily cramped, chilly or gloomy. Thanks to engineering and architecture, we have more and more solutions to make the subsurface habitable, creating impressive subterranean structures that are also key to a sustainable future.

Plastics are one of the most difficult pollutants to remove. Therefore, looking for new ways to extend its useful life is essential. From cement substitutes to asphalt layers, new materials made from residues of these polymers are already beginning to be used in the construction sector.

The keys to improving the trafficking problem may lie in the mechanisms of genetics. This operation is what evolutionary algorithms imitate to achieve the most optimal solutions to a problem. Achieving a smoother traffic flow and reducing pollution in cities is just one of its applications, which are already reaching industrial processes and financial markets.
