Daimler plans to offer electric versions of every Mercedes-Benz model by 2022. To support this plan, Mercedez-Benz's Smart city car brand will evolve into an entirely electric brand. Daimler reps have stated that they will offer at least 50 versions of passenger cars in hybrid and fully electric variants. Volvo, Jaguar and now Mercedes-Benz have committed to roll out a fleet of fully electric or hybrid models within the next five years.

A solar system that follows the sun like a flower
Smartflower is a fully integrated, all-in-one solar system that can be installed anywhere. If you ever have to move it, smartflower can be packed up and moved to a new site. Its smart tracking makes the most of the sun?s rays to generate energy. When the sun rises it automatically unfolds and starts producing electricity for you. When the sun sets it automatically folds itself back into a secure position and waits for sunrise. http://smartflowersolar.com/

Pentatonic is using this trash to create beautiful ergonomically designed chairs and other furniture . https://www.pentatonic.com

A chocolate breakthrough
The new Ruby chocolate offers a whole new flavour. Unlike milk, dark and white, Ruby chocolate is silky and fruity, not sweet, bitter or milky. The berry flavour is all natural, as is the colour. It's made from the ruby cocoa bean through a unique processing that unlocks the flavour and colour naturally present in the ruby bean. No berries, ?berry flavour?or colour are?added. It has already been tested by global research agencies who have validated Ruby as a fourth type of chocolate.?This discovery is regarded as a breakthrough for the chocolate and confectionery industries. https://www.springwise.com/leading-manufacturer-reveals-new-flavour-chocolate/?

A 3D printed device that could help you sleep better
Sleep apnoea is a condition where the air passage in your throat becomes blocked during sleep and causes you to stop breathing. A new CSIRO-made solution can help. It's a 3D-printed titanium mouthguard that lets air flow freely for you while you sleep. A clinical trial showed that 100% of patients experienced a significant reduction in snoring with 82% eliminating snoring completely. www.oventus.com.au
