Is a carbon-free economy within 50 years possible? This is the question raised by Rob Miller, an Engineering professor at the University of Cambridge. According to the professor, this timescale can be cut in half, and the key lies in a radical change in the way we devel-
op and scale up technology. However, for this to happen, academics, industrialists and manufacturers will have to reach agreements and work together. Source: University of Cambridge https://bit.ly/3s81SbX

The future of the electronic microscope
Electronic microscopes have played an important role in many scientific advances since they were first used in 1938. A team of engineers at Johns Hopkins University is engaged in a study to establish
Devices to detect movement
Engineers at University of Berkeley have created a new device that combines biosensors with artificial intelligence software to help identify which hand gesture is being made from the patterns of electrical signals in the forearm. This device can have great importance in improving the control of prothesis, offering much better interaction with electronic devices.

.CAT 1. ENGINYERIA VERDA És possible tenir una economia sense carboni abans de 50 anys? Segons el professor d’enginyeria de la Universitat de Cambridge, Rob Miller, es pot reduir aquest temps a la meitat. La clau està en un canvi radical en la manera de desenvolupar les tecnologies i en la feina conjunta entre els acadèmics, la indústria i els fabricants. 44

2. ENGINYERIA SENSORIAL La creació d’un nou dispositiu és molt important per millorar el control de les pròtesis. Es tracta d’un invent, dissenyat per enginyers de la Universitat de Berkeley, que, mitjançant uns biosensors, amb l’ajuda de la intel·ligència artificial i basant-se en patrons de senyals elèctrics, pot identificar els gestos que es poden fer amb la mà.
3. ENGINYERIA DE LABORATORI Un equip d’enginyers de la Universitat Johns Hopkins està elaborant un estudi per implementar en els microscopis electrònics els avenços actuals de la tecnologia, com la intel·ligència artificial i l’aprenentatge automàtic. Aquest pas endavant ajudaria a millorar la gestió del flux de dades obtingudes davant els nous reptes científics del futur.
