When we think of great engineering works, we often imagine colossal bridges, endless highways, or monumental dams. However, there are infrastructures that, although hidden underground, are just as essential for the operation of our cities and territories: the tunnels....
The second edition of the Global Materials Outlook, edited by McKinsey, analyzes how the global materials industry is evolving in a context marked by geopolitical tensions, new technologies, and a slowdown in the energy transition. In 2024, the sector went through a...
Capital Colombia, Bogotá is one of the most populated cities in Latin America, with more than 7.5 million inhabitants. This city, multicultural and vibrant, combines current modernity with a colonial past. Likewise, it is the political center, economic center, and...
Every form, nexus, and movement in nature serves a purpose. In its apparent chaos, it hides the secret of its survival. Biomimetics, a science that draws inspiration from flora and fauna, allows us to find efficient responses in civil engineering, addressing the...
European Risk managers are today facing an environment where different threats are more deeply connected, and these connections boost the likelihood, impact, and complexity of these threats materializing. This requires a particularly integrated approach in terms of...
The Sun, the energy engine of our planetary system, provides us with light and heat, but also generates intense phenomena that directly impact life on Earth. Studying these events is crucial, as they can pose a risk to power grids and satellites, interrupting both...
The aerospace industry is experiencing a technological turning point that’s shaping the airplanes that will dominate the market in the coming decades: electric, made with advanced materials, supported by intelligent systems and oriented toward efficiency. The Spanish...
Shipping ports, those historic drivers of trade and globalization, are undergoing an unprecedented transformation. As the climate emergency and the digital revolution converge, these strategic infrastructures are being reinvented with the aim of being cleaner,...
Sensors, data, and virtual models are transforming the way underground infrastructure is conceived and managed. Digital twins facilitate anticipating risks, optimizing decisions, and improving security in environments where the margin of error is minimal. An invisible...
