I varje kommun finns livsmedelsbutiker, industrier och andra anläggningar som avger stora mängder restvärme som idag försvinner rakt upp i luften. Nu ska en del av denna oanvända värme forslas ut i fjärrvärmenäten och värma våra hus i stället. I en ny stadsdel i Lund har taxan kapats med en fjärdedel. Spillet är så stort att hela Europa hade kunnat värmas med den om den tagits tillvara. Det menar

A research team led by Lund University has developed an AI tool that traces back the most recent places you have been to. The tool acts like a satellite navigation system, but instead of guiding you to your hotel, it identifies the geographical source of microorganisms. This means you can use bacteria to determine whether someone has just been to the beach, got off the train in the city centre or
