Blueprint for Restoration
The development of cities or industrial facilities as well as intensive agriculture affect the environment around the world. Such interventions create challenges for natural ecosystems and their diversity. Over the last years many projects have emerged with the aim of transforming regions that were ecologically exploited back into natural ecosystems. One approach is rewilding.

TUM Hyperloop
Public Transportation at 745 MPH
In the next years, the topic of effective and sustainable transportation will become increasingly important. Global technological trends change our daily mobility practices. One of these trends in the field of traffic development is the hyperloop. TUM Hyperloop is a project from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and was launched in 2015 as a student initiative. The goal is to develop a climate-neutral high-speed ground transportation system based on the hyperloop concept.

The Lars Borchardt Group
A Paradigm Shift in Chemistry: Nanostructured Materials Without Waste
“It is not waste until it is wasted.” That’s Lars Borchardt’s motto. Together with his team of the Lars Borchardt Research Group at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Borchardt is trying to make chemistry more sustainable. Two of their major projects include conducting chemical reactions without solvent waste and using renewable resources and waste material to create energy storage.
