The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has in the recent weeks held a showcase of the future roadmap of what human settlements could look like. The strategic framework recognises the demand and need for alternative and innovative technologies being in the built environment to help achieve citizens' right to adequate housing and improved quality of life.

In unscience, we discuss a new research discovery that some animals actually perform mathematical calculations to find their next meal. wits.journalism.co.za
