Playing your way to the energy transition: A new junior research group at the University of Applied Sciences Zwickau is investigating how gamification can help with technological change. Among other things, the researchers are developing an "Energy Tamagotchi" that makes electricity consumption visible and a digital driving trainer for energy-efficient driving. The interdisciplinary team aims to develop practical concepts for business and society by 2028.
In Saxony's forests, pine needles normally end up unused on the ground and rot. Researchers at WHZ Zwickau are now turning them into sustainable textiles. The "ConFiTex" project is creating completely compostable yarn from local conifer needles - an innovative contribution to the circular economy that shows how forest waste can be turned into fashion.
