The innovative cover for the roads, which is illuminated at night, will be used soon. Therefore, at night the asphalt will turn into a splendid Milky Way.
The water-proof cover StarPath sprayed on the asphalt surface will absorb ultra-violet rays during the day and at night will emit light. The StarPath will have phosphorescent compounds, which are more complex, than those used in the fluorescent toys. The brightness of cover will depend on the natural light – during the clear moonlit night it will look duller, than in the complete darkness.
Pro-Teq has already sprayed StarPath at some foot paths in Cambridge, which took only half an hour and after four hours people were allowed to use them. In the future the company plans to offer its innovation to cover highways and foot paths in other cities, reported RBC.—0—

This group includes Angola, Bahrain, Timor-Leste, Equatorial Guinea, Oman, and South Sudan, highlighting shared economic risks for these states.

In Azerbaijan, the government has increasingly relied on tax exemptions for imported goods as a tool to stabilize domestic market prices. The exemption from the 18% VAT on wheat imports, extended this year, exemplifies this approach. New measures have also been introduced, including tax relief on imports of electric vehicle chargers, while exemptions for high-cost medications are currently under discussion. Notably, defense imports continue to be free from taxes and customs duties.
