Smart homes: A world of conflict and collaboration

The progress made in decentralized artificial intelligence means that we can now imagine what our future homes will be like. The services offered by a smart home to its users are likely to be modeled on appliances which communicate and cooperate with each other autonomously. Today, this approach is considered the best way to control […]

A window, and silence!

To combat noise pollution and its effects on human health, DeNoize, a start-up incubated at Mines Saint-Étienne, offers a solution: a window that ‘mutes sound’. This connected window would analyze outside noise and adapt to cancel it out.   Double glazing increases thermal insulation, but when it comes to noise, it’s another story. When we’re […]

From Fossil to Flexible: Joulzen Gives Old Oil Tanks a Future

The countdown has started: by 2035, oil heating systems will be banned across many European countries. But what happens to the tanks left behind? In Austria, a team of young engineers saw this constraint as a resource. Their start-up incubated in TU Wien, Joulzen, wants to turn these dormant giants into heat storage systems—and maybe even into players in the European energy grid.
