The +Pool project (pronounced 'pluspool'), will see a public swimming pool feature on a floating island in the East River, New York. Layers of filtration membranes will make the water safe for swimming while simultaneously cleaning the surrounding river, according to project organisers, who say the pool will clean 600,000 US gallons (2,300m3) of river water every day.

A futuristic-looking wearable air purifier has been created by US-based start-up Biotlab. The Air-Ring is worn around the neck and surrounds the user's face with purified air, delivered by what the makers describe as a powerful, silent air turbine. Intake air is HEPA-filtered and UV-sterilised to remove particles and deactivate pathogens and viruses. Air-Ring operates for up to 8 hours on a single battery charge and is designed to be worn comfortably all day. No price has been given, but a crowdfunding campaign is scheduled to go live soon.

WHILE EMPLOYEES will continue to spend more time working from home once the coronavirus pandemic has subsided, the need to visit an office at least occasionally won't go away completely The office of the future is likely to look considerably different from those we are used to, however. Organisations will rearrange their working spaces to meet stricter regulation around biosecurity to protect against future outbreaks while accommodating smaller numbers of employees at any one time.

The hour-long video presentation captured the attention of everyone in the tech world, primarily thanks to the unveiling of a much anticipated update to the iMac. But it was another product that Apple revealed that the world has been waiting longer for.

INTEREST IN CLASSIC cars has probably never been greater and, let's face it, there are some wonderful motors out there to cherish or aspire to. Such demands are also keeping many workshops in the business of restoring such treasures particularly busy. Nigel Woodward, managing director of Bridgnorth-based Classic Motor Cars (CMC), says: "The classic car market is currently very robust, perhaps having something of a mini-boom, and values are firm. Although, much like the housing sector, it goes in cycles." The pandemic has given classic car owners a bit more time to get some restoration work done in readiness for getting out and about again.
人们对老爷车的兴趣可能从未如此浓厚,让我们面对现实吧,有一些很棒的汽车值得珍惜或渴望。这样的需求也让许多修复这些珍宝的作坊忙得不可开交。总部位于布里奇诺斯的Classic Motor Cars (CMC)董事总经理奈杰尔•伍德沃德(Nigel Woodward)表示:“老爷车市场目前非常强劲,或许正处于一种小型繁荣时期,价值也很坚定。不过,就像房地产行业一样,它也是有周期的。”大流行给了老爷车车主更多的时间来完成一些修复工作,为再次外出做好准备。
