A large-scale visualization is displayed on a transparent MicroLED screen showcasing a digital twin of a functioning Smart City at the GSMA Innovation City pavilion during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. The interactive interface illustrates advanced urban infrastructure managed by artificial intelligence, highlighting real-time data flows from thousands of IoT sensors and connected devices. Visible on the map are multiple integrated 5G-Advanced (5G-A) access points and small cells, demonstrated using Ericsson Radio System hardware with the Qualcomm Snapdragon X105 5G Modem-RF System for NTN and mmWave connectivity. The visualization, powered by a cluster of NVIDIA Grace Hopper Superchip servers, tracks various KPIs including intelligent traffic management using real-time V2X communications, dynamic energy grid optimization, public safety monitoring, and autonomous drone delivery routes, all optimized via localized edge computing nodes running on Intel Xeon 6 processors.

A dense layer of smog engulfs the Kathmandu Valley in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 13, 2026. Air pollution intensifies across the bowl-shaped capital, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) fluctuating between 200 and 250, placing the city in the ''very unhealthy'' category and among the world's most polluted cities, according to data from the air quality monitoring platform IQAir's AirVisual. Measurements show fine particulate matter (PM2.5) at 129.9 micrograms per cubic meter--more than 25 times higher than the safe limit recommended by the World Health Organization--while PM10 levels reach 100.3 ug/m3. Nepal's national AQI scale classifies readings above 200 as very unhealthy and levels exceeding 300 as hazardous. The Ministry of Health and Population advises residents to take protective measures, noting that long-term exposure to polluted air can lead to serious health complications including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer. Studies on air pollution also link prolonged exposure to increased risks of diabetes, reduced lung function, and premature death.
