For the transition to a sustainable energy sector, massive hydrogen production and use is crucial. There is growing awareness of a connection between an indirect global warming potential and the production of hydrogen, so its fugitive emissions must be addressed. This Comment emphasizes the need for affordable hydrogen-sensing methods to benefit safety, energy efficiency and the climate.

Addressing the electronic-waste crisis requires global cooperation to enhance recycling, innovate in sustainable materials management and embrace eco-design. By viewing electronic waste as valuable ‘urban mines’, we can unlock a circular economy and ensure the sustainable recovery of strategic metals, fostering a greener, more sustainable future.

A digital twin (DT) of the human body is a virtual representation of an individual’s physiological state, created using real-time data from sensors and medical devices, with the purpose of simulating, predicting and optimizing health outcomes through advanced analysis and modelling. Human body DTs have the potential to revolutionize healthcare and wellness, but their responsible and effective implementation requires consideration of multiple intertwined engineering aspects. This Perspective presents an overview of the status and prospects of the human body DT and proposes a five-level roadmap to guide its development, from the sensing components, in the form of wearable devices, to the data collection, analysis and decision-making systems. The support, security, cost and ethical considerations that must be addressed are also highlighted. Finally, we provide a framework for the development and a perspective on the future of the human body DT, to aid interdisciplinary research and solutions for this evolving field. The rapid development of on-body sensors and multimodal artificial intelligence is accelerating the emergence of the human body digital twin (DT) as an interdisciplinary research topic. This Perspective outlines a roadmap for applications of human body DTs in health monitoring, disease prevention and treatment.
