A new innovation makes it possible to capture air pollution from car engines before it contaminates our cities and lungs - and turn it into ink.

The creative mind behind the smog-eating tower and the smog-jewellery is collaborating with China's largest bike-sharing scheme provider to come up with a fleet of smog-eating bikes for the city of Beijing. But will they just be biting off more than they can chew?

Good air quality in cities is a real challenge. Traffic, building sites, roadworks, rubbish trucks: the toxic particles that they generate all pose a serious health threat, and it's one that's invisible to the naked eye. Enter AirVisual.

E-mobility has never been so cool. A new self-driving minibus has been doing the rounds, and is set to conquer the hearts of passengers and smart-transport enthusiasts the world over.

With outdoor urban air pollution increasingly infecting both our environment and our health, maybe it's time for us to take the matter into our own hands, and find out what's really lurking in the air around us. And now there a bunch of apps out there that let us do just that, wherever we are in the world.

Any idea that simplifies life as much as possible is one that will soon find itself on the fast track to actualisation, and today everyone is excited about the “driverless car”. This idea has overtaken the Hybrid Car as the car of the future and there is a rush to successfully produce autonomous cars with predictions of market availability being as early as 2020.

With traffic congestion and air pollution seriously undermining public and environmental health in Chinese megacities, heads have been working together to smarten up the transport infrastructure, and a giant straddling bus may just be the ticket!

Dutch design team Studio Roosegaarde created a tower that sucks pollution right out of the air, creating a clean air zone even in the most polluted cities. The residues are then turned into high-end jewellery.

The Android smartphone app, AirCasting, measures noise and air pollution and allows users to monitor their biometric responses to their physical environment.
