Engineering the Future

The emerging world of electric vehicles, the infrastructure needed for them, and the radical changes needed in the transport industry.

The metaverse is the successor to the internet; some say it will change the lives of almost every human on the planet.

Virgin Hyperloop is a train that runs inside a steel tunnel; this vehicle floats along the track using magnetic levitation and glides at airline speeds for long distances due to ultra-low aerodynamic drag; it's fully autonomous and enclosed.

A new era of space is dawning, where small satellites no bigger than a shoebox will be deployed in their thousands, referred to as satellite swarms.

All over the world, engineers and scientists are racing to solve one key problem: how to safely and efficiently store electricity at a large scale but at a low cost.

Construction currently accounts for a staggering percentage of the world's energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions; exploring the world of timber buildings for a more sustainable future.
