Self-driving cars , also known as autonomous vehicles, have been a topic of interest for many years and have recently begun to be seen on the roads in various forms. The technology behind self-driving cars is complex, but can be broken down into a few key components: sensors, software, and mechanical systems.

These devices are used to detect and interpret the vehicle's surroundings. The most commonly used sensors in autonomous vehicles include cameras, lidar, radar, and ultrasonic sensors. Cameras can capture visual information, such as traffic lights and road signs, while lidar, radar, and ultrasonic sensors are used to detec...

 Breathable fabric can be used as a way to cool passive houses, also known as passive cooling. Passive cooling refers to the use of natural ventilation and thermal mass to cool a building, rather than relying on mechanical cooling systems.

Smart fabrics are designed to respond to changes in temperature and humidity, and can be used in walls, roofs, and other building elements to regulate the temperature and airflow within a passive house.   Another type of breathable fabric that can be used for passive cooling is a type of insulation known as "breathable insulation." This type of insulation allows moisture to pass thr...

  Graphene is a material that has been gaining a lot of attention in recent years for its potential applications in various fields, including flexible displays for mobile phones. Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, and it is considered a two-dimensional material. Structure Of Graphene By AlexanderAlUS - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=11294534 It is extremely thin (about 0.3 nm), transparent, and lightweight, making it an ideal candidate for use in flexible displays. One of the key benefits of using graphene in flexible displays is that it is highly conductive, which means that it can be used to create transparent and efficient electrodes. This can be used to make flexible and transparent touch screens, which are important for creating mobile phones with flexible displays. Graphene is also very strong and durable, making it able to withstand the rigors of daily use and maintain its functionality over t...
