What If a Neighbourhood Could Share Its Tools Reliably?
What if useful equipment were neighbourhood infrastructure? A library of things must solve peak demand, maintenance and fair access before borrowing can replace ownership.
Human-centred technology—from everyday life to deep engineering.
I am the vice-boss here; in charge of online activities and the technical stuff. I have a background as engineer and scientist in fields as different as aerospace, plasma physics, biosensing, I am currently here to find people motivated to build stuff together and to share adventures together

Five evidence-led developments: alcohol screening, a coeliac trial, Amazon fire smoke, the EU methane proposal and atom-thin transistors.
Four evidence-led developments: Ebola crosses a new threshold, an mRNA cancer trial misses one endpoint, hurricane recovery exposes cascading infrastructure, and dry electrodes work for 14 days without retraining.
Four developments worth attention: faster outbreak detection, cyber-risk in food infrastructure, financial exposure to the AI boom, and a hard test for Europe’s Mars rover.
What if buildings were a city’s future parts store? Material passports can expose reusable components—but only if timing, trust, labour and liability are designed too.
Four evidence-led developments on partial sight restoration, deceptive safety controls, climate accountability and open biological data for predictive models.
A global pain benchmark, hard lessons from the Ebola response, an EU methane-rule delay, and a privately financed nuclear expansion for the PJM grid.
Four evidence-led developments on a child-sized heart valve, EU online safety, retail crypto oversight and accountable cybersecurity.
Four developments on obesity treatment, algorithmic rent setting, data-centre grid costs and the limits of fair use in AI training.
Four evidence-led developments: longer-term Huntington’s gene-therapy data, deadly Asian floods, Google’s EU privacy-and-competition appeal, and Starship’s mixed orbital test.
