A regional permafrost map can’t tell a builder if a particular foundation or road will survive as temperatures rise. Engineers need to see beneath the surface to find the weaknesses.

In cardiology, sex and gender-sensitive diagnosis and treatment planning are crucial, but biological differences remain the missing link in AI-powered human virtual twin technology.
Existing digital models of the human brain risk missing out on what makes you ‘you’.
Data from readily available sensors can be used to digitally trial new systems – all without risking resources.
The idea of digital immortality raises many legal questions – and most of them don’t have a clear answer.
Urban digital twins pull together tremendous amounts of data to realistically model cities, but they’ve been missing a critical ingredient: people.
What if Canada could see the impact of wildfires, floods and traffic congestion before they happen?
Digital duplicates of our brains could revolutionise mental healthcare.
The use of digital clones of real-life models by the fashion industry raises questions about inclusion, consent and privacy.
By 2050, the majority of the world’s population will live in cities. So how do we make them as liveable as possible?
As digital replicas of real people become more common in image-based industries like fashion, urgent questions are emerging about the future of work in the cultural economy.
The technology is enhancing athletic performance, offering more personalised healthcare and improving workplace safety.
The combination of data and maps is useful for a lot more than just helping you get from point A to point B. Think natural disasters, global supply chains and climate change.
Potholes have appeared seemingly everywhere after the intense rains. They’re annoying and expensive to fix. But there may be a better way.
Digital twins could be used in the future to predict and influence our behaviour, but this raises concerns about who owns our data and how we can access and control it.
A digital twin is to a computer model as live video is to a still photo. These virtual replicas can be used to understand and make predictions about a wide range of complex systems, including people.
Creating a digital twin of infrastructure or services makes them easier to monitor and operate safely.
