Helium Hotspots are a peer-to-peer wireless network that allows low-power IoT devices to send data to and from the internet. Anyone who owns a Helium Hotspot can earn $HNT, a cryptocurrency, as an incentive for providing public coverage. Recently the company also announced a partnership with FreedomFi, to help mobile network operators accelerate 5G coverage with consumer-deployed connectivity gateways. Here’s a complete overview of the company, and its mission to develop the “People’s Network”. 📰 Read our article about Helium: https://thedetechtor.com/helium-hotspot-mine-hnt-crypto-and-power-the-peoples-network-and-5g/ 🌐 Helium Website: https://www.helium.com 📲  Get Social: 🐦 https://twitter.com/the_detechtor 👤 https://www.facebook.com/thedetechtor 📸 https:/www.instagram.com/thedetechtor

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have been in the news a lot recently, but not necessarily for the right reasons. With interest from major institutions such as JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs along with endorsements from tech titans like Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk, Bitcoin’s value has managed to go up more than 700% in the space of a year. However, Bitcoin energy consumption is raising concerns. Here’s how we could solve this problem. 🌐 Read the article: https://thedetechtor.com/bitcoin-energy-consumption-solve-problem/ 📥 Never miss an update: https://mailchi.mp/a1f8ca6073b2/the-detechtor-newsletter  📲 Get Social: 🐦 https://twitter.com/the_detechtor 👥 https://www.facebook.com/thedetechtor 📸 https://www.instagram.com/thedetechtor

There is no doubt at this point that fossil fuels are no longer an option for producing energy, as the climate crisis continues to get worse.

Although Augmented Reality (AR) is often associated with gaming, it actually has many applications in the healthcare industry. Indeed, by superimposing computer-generated images onto reality, AR can provide both surgeons and patients with many useful tools. Let’s take a look at them, and how they can improve the healthcare industry. 🌐 The Detechtor: https://thedetechtor.com 📥 Never miss an update: https://mailchi.mp/a1f8ca6073b2/the-detechtor-newsletter  📲 Get Social:  🐦 https://twitter.com/the_detechtor 👥 https://www.facebook.com/thedetechtor 📸 https://www.instagram.com/thedetechtor

Strategic Science Consult has developed a bioenergy facade that leverages sunlight to produce heat and micro-algae biomass. With the number of people living in cities rising, space is becoming increasingly scarce, so utilising building facades could be one of the best ways to produce energy, whether it be thermal or electric (like solar glass). In this episode, I’ll discuss how this technology work, what it’s benefits are, and where it’s currently in place. 📲 Connect with us on social media: https://linktr.ee/thedetechtor 📰 Our article on the Bioenergy Facade: https://thedetechtor.com/bioenergy-facade-renewable-microalgae-heat/ 📩 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.thedetechtor.com

Solar Panels have been around for a while, allowing us to use sunlight as a source of energy. The issue with solar panels is that they need sufficient space on rooftops or on the ground to produce enough energy for them to be worth it, space that is limited in big cities. In recent years, companies have been working on a solution to this problem: Solar Glass (often referred to as "Solar Windows"), which can turn windows into power-generating panels... 📰 Check out The Detechtor: https://www.thedetechtor.com/ 📲 Connect with us on social media: https://linktr.ee/thedetechtor 📰 Our article on Solar Glass: https://www.thedetechtor.com/post/solar-glass-energy-in-big-cities 📩 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.thedetechtor.com/subscribe

With the climate crisis continuously getting worse, businesses and governments need to find solutions to reduce the amount of carbon going into the atmosphere. To beat the crisis, the world can't simply rely on renewable energy, governments will need to include carbon capture, usage and storage (CCUS) into the mix if they want to hit their climate targets. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), CCUS could reduce carbon emissions by almost a fifth, but can this technology deliver on its promises or is it too good to be true? 📰 Check out The Detechtor: https://www.thedetechtor.com/ 📲 Connect with us on social media: https://linktr.ee/thedetechtor 📰 Our article about CCUS: https://www.thedetechtor.com/post/carbon-capture-usage-and-storage-the-solution-to-the-climate-crisis
