24 Ideas. 1 Future. One by one
🔌 Platforms for charging wireless cars now fit on a bench, no test track needed
https://techxplore.com/news/2026-03-platforms-wireless-cars-bench-track.html
Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have devised a rotating tabletop device to study wireless charging in electric vehicles. Testing on real tracks takes up vast areas at significant cost. The team not only built a prototype but used simulations to demonstrate safety and similar charging to a linear track. They successfully reproduced movement at 40 kilometers per hour, promising accelerated global research into next-gen charging for EVs.
In Loudoun County, Virginia, nearly 200 data centres power huge parts of the internet and AI economy—bringing jobs and billions in revenue.
But residents report constant noise, higher electricity costs, and environmental changes.
It raises a bigger question: how do we balance digital infrastructure growth with quality of life?

EVs are ‘super-lever’ to ending oil dependence; European oil imports set to rise to €300 billion in 2026, an €80 billion oil crisis premium. If Europe maintains its ambition on electric car uptake, it can close the gap with China ... [continued]
