The thing about the future is that if you stick around long enough, it eventually becomes the present. That’s certainly what’s happened with the way we get around.

This week, we’re deliberately not talking “the future” – everything in this week’s articles is happening right now. We’ve got some students who are building an electric racing car. We’re taking a look at some of the more interesting forms that electric transportation can take. And, we’re looking at a study that used the pandemic lockdowns to finally answer all those hypothetical questions about taking cars off the road.

Let’s get moving!

There are still three glorious days of National Science Week left. That means there’s still time to tune in to virtual events from around the country. There are plenty of seminars and videos to watch – but we’ve pulled out two slightly more immersive virtual events to have a go at too.
