T Park recently opened to treat HK's sludge which is a by-product of sewage treatment. This wave-like building includes an exhibition hall where you can learn about the process as well as enjoy a spa. Outside you can visit a garden and wildlife sanctuary. The heat energy generated from the waste incineration process is turned into electricity that can support the needs of the entire facility as well as contribute to the public power grid. After incineration sludge is converted into ash and residues a total reduction of 90% of the original sludge volume. You can book a visit at www.tpark.hk

These trials are starting in Europe. They'll be testing public acceptance, the reliability of the technology and human reactions as well as transportation of hot food, cold food, parcels and groceries. The robot will have microphones, and speakers, so they can communicate with humans they meet. www.starship.xyz

The AeroMobil 3.0 is the latest version of a car that will allow us to drive on the road and fly through the air. It's one of several new experimental prototypes that the company hopes to launch by the end of this year. The AeroMobil team says their vehicles can do far more than cut commuters? travel time eg they could be used by first responders and law enforcement in areas with poor road infrastructure. www.aeromobil.com

SMR (small modular reactor) development is proceeding in Western countries with a lot of private investment. The involvement of these new investors indicates a profound shift taking place from government-led and funded nuclear R&D to that led by the private sector and people with strong entrepreneurial goals, often linked to a social purpose. That purpose is often deployment of affordable clean energy, without carbon dioxide emissions. If this new technology is developed Australia would be a major beneficiary given its known uranium resources are the world's largest at 31% of the world total. http://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fuel-cycle/nuclear-power-reactors/small-nuclear-p
