Cities will not need night illumination anymore
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—

Azerbaijan's financial standing continues to strengthen as the country's foreign currency reserves have surged to $71 billion as of January 1, 2025, according to the Ministry of Finance. This figure, which includes reserves held by the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) and the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA), far exceeds the nation's external debt, which stands at a fraction of its reserves, specifically nearly 14 times less. This robust reserve position reflects Azerbaijan's fiscal stability and the government’s strategic economic management.
