Why Do Everyone’s Logo Fonts Look the Same?
Back in 2018, Anne Quinto, a design and architecture reporter for Quartz proclaimed that the “The dark age of soulless sans-serif logos is coming to an end”.

But perhaps their greatest sin is that they often lack personality. When more and more customers are looking for a more human relationship with brands, having the same logo font as everyone else just doesn’t cut it.

University of Cambridge: Solar-powered device produces clean water and clean fuel at the same time
It takes its inspiration from photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into food.
