The Prince of Wales said he was “blown away” by futuristic technology on show from Singapore start-ups just hours before his Earthshot Prize awards ceremony. William toured the EcoLabs Centre of Innovation for Energy, at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University. Hi-tech schemes for green energy included Autsren (ERI@N) which develops autonomous vehicles and long-lasting electric car batteries. He was told how the vehicles are used to collect golf balls and also ferry staff around Singapore Zoo. It reminds me of my chemistry and physics tests. I will have to write this down when I get home Prince of Wales And he was told the biggest challenge facing the autonomous vehicles was being attacked by peacocks and monkeys. The prince laughed and said: “That’s not something you normally think about. They never behave, those monkeys and peacocks.” William also marvelled at a PowerCube that can store solar energy in remote locations that could power 35 small flats for a year. And he was surprised by a start-up called ALIENA which has sent its first plasma thruster into orbit for almost two years, which can be used to measure climate data. He shook his head and looked impressed and said: “You’ve blown my mind.” But the prince, who has a geography degree, admitted he needed to brush up on his science after eco start-up Etavolt described how they were building a circular economy for solar panels via regeneration, recycling and digitisation of performance. William said: “It reminds me of my chemistry and physics tests. I will have to write this down when I get home.” After an intense run-down in technology of degraded solar panels, he added: “Thanks for the brush-up for my chemistry and physics.” The prince was at the labs in Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University which wants to become the most eco-friendly and sustainable in the world. It is one of 22 buildings in Singapore that is totally energy self-sufficient. It has 19,000 solar panels and generates 9.5 megawatts of energy. But the university cannot expand any further otherwise it would produce so much energy it would have to register officially as a power station, under Singapore laws.

Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan believes Max Verstappen will surpass Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton to be the greatest F1 driver ever. Red Bull driver Verstappen is a two-time Formula 1 world champion and is on track to make it three titles in a row. The Dutchman currently has a 69-point lead in the Driver Standings from team-mate Sergio Perez in second, having won six of the eight races this season. Verstappen most recently won in Canada and speaking on the Formula For Success podcast, Jordan admits he’s “bored to death” of his dominance and predicted the Dutchman will cement his legacy in the years to come. “Max Verstappen will emerge over time to be the greatest driver of all time,” Jordan said. “He’s that good. I don’t like the last couple of races, I have to tell you. I’m bored to death with him. He’s just that good. “He’s making it boring, more so than the Schumacher era.” Michael Schumacher, who won five-straight titles from 2000-2004 with Ferrari, is the all-time joint record-holder in F1 world titles, with Lewis Hamilton also on seven. Verstappen notched his 41th F1 win in Montreal, taking him level with the legendary Ayrton Senna, but is still behind Hamilton’s and Schumacher’s tally of 103 and 91 wins respectively. Red Bull have won every race in 2023 and, with both world championships seemingly wrapped up already at this early stage, the question now posed is whether Christian Horner’s team can win all 22 races this year and continue their dominance in the next few years. “Can we? Yes. Will we? Who knows, because there are so many variables in this game,” Horner told Sky Sports, when asked if Red Bull can win every race this season. “The team are doing an incredible job, Max is driving out of his skin as well at the moment, so just collectively the group are doing a tremendous job.” The team will next be in action at their home race at Austria’s Red Bull Ring next week before the British Grand Prix at Silverstone a week later.

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 27, 2023--

Holly Willoughby chose to address the ongoing Phillip Schofield scandal on This Morning today (5 June), but eagle-eyed viewers were quick to notice her long-awaited speech drew serious similarities to that of Jennifer Aniston's character in Apple TV's The Morning Show. While Willoughby opted to begin the show by saying "deep breath", Anniston's character, Alex Levy, says "stay strong" in a similar fashion. "To you at home, I understand how you must be feeling because I and the whole team here at The Morning Show are feeling the same way", Levy says in the scene where she apologises for her co-worker being struck off. Meanwhile, Willoughby echoed a similar sentiment, saying: "Firstly, are you OK? I hope so. It feels very strange sitting here without Phil and I imagine you might be feeling a lot like I have - shaken, troubled, let down." Click here to sign up for our newsletters
