Thanks to startup ThinkEE’s modular system – which consists of technology bricks linking various connected devices – data from a host of sensors can be collected regardless of the sensors’ protocols. It can also be used to control the devices in real time from a single interface. The system recently underwent pre-market testing in the NeighborHub eco-friendly house, which will be Switzerland’s entry in the international Solar Decathlon competition.

Water is surprisingly ordered on the nanoscale

Mediacom
Researchers from EPFL have shown that the surface of minuscule water drops with a 100 nm size is surprisingly ordered. At room temperature, the surface water molecules of these droplets have much stronger interactions than a normal water surface. The structural difference corresponds to a difference in temperature of -50 °C, which may shed new light on a variety of atmospheric, biological and even geological processes.
