Innovative Material for Sustainable Building
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)

Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) introduce a polymer-based material with unique properties in the latest issue of the journal Nature Communications. This material allows sunlight to enter, maintains a more comfortable indoor climate without additional energy, and cleans itself like a lotus leaf. The new development could replace glass components in walls and roofs in the future

People who hold populist beliefs are more likely to believe misinformation about COVID – new report
Loughborough University

Over a fifth of Americans and Poles surveyed believed that COVID-19 vaccines can change people’s DNA. And more than half of Serbian people believed that natural immunity from COVID was better than being vaccinated. These figures come from a new report which examines the effects of populism on misinformation and other aspects of crisis communication around the coronavirus pandemic.
