Endowing water supply networks with intelligence, thanks to technology, allows Sacyr to address such an important challenge as the efficient management of a scarce and basic resource for people's quality of life.

From nanorobot surgeons that could defeat cancer to nanobiosensors that detect deadly diseases at very early stages, if there is one field in which nanotechnology can bring about a real revolution, it is medicine. We take a look at the hurdles that several promising projects have to overcome to make their way into hospitals.

Lithium-sulphur batteries can store up to five times more energy than traditional lithium-ion batteries, but their lifespan is quite limited. Now a team of Australian researchers claim to have found a sweet solution to make them a truly longer-lasting, lighter and more sustainable alternative for all types of transport.

From breaking the sound barrier to making the futuristic dream of flying cars a reality and optimising energy consumption by reviving the tradition of making houses out of straw. We analyse the technological innovations that have captured the attention of our readers over the last year.
