    #Mars 🔴 may possess substantial thermal-energy reservoirs beneath its crust. Regions with greatest subsurface temperatures are active or young #volcanoes 🌋 nhsjs.com/2021/harvesting-geot

    To reach the necessary drilling depths of around 5 km, a #contactless drilling technology was developed that works with millimeter wave energy, which melts and vaporizes the rock. Conventional drilling techniques cannot economically reach the required depths where the hot and therefore energy-rich rock is located

  2. Wiener Linien führen Tap+Ride ein:
    Kontaktloses Bezahlen revolutioniert den ÖPNV

    „Die Wiener Linien setzen mit Tap+Ride einen lang erwarteten Schritt in die Zukunft des öffentlichen Nahverkehrs. Ab sofort können Fahrgäste mit Mastercard- und Visa-Kredit- oder Debitkarten direkt an Ticketautomaten Einzelfahrscheine erwerben, und das ganz ohne Umweg über Apps oder Tarifkenntnisse. Das System basiert auf dem EMV-Contactless-Standard, der bereits auf den meisten modernen Karten und Smartphones verfügbar ist. Besonders für Touristen und Gelegenheitsfahrgäste könnte dies den Einstieg in den Wiener ÖPNV deutlich vereinfachen.“

  7. #Transport for #London has awarded Indra Group a new seven-year contract to operate and develop its revenue collection systems, including Oyster and #contactless #ticketing, with options to extend the deal. Indra will be responsible for the operation, maintenance and expansion of the system, as well as managing the Oyster retail network. More than 90 per cent of Tube and bus journeys are now paid for using Oyster or contactless, with pay as you go contactless set to expand to more stations across the southeast by 2026. The contract also includes plans to modernise the 20-year-old Oyster system, potentially introducing account-based ticketing and new digital features. Indra will work with #TfL and partners to ensure a smooth transition from current operator Cubic, with some staff transferring. The contract is valued at £587.6 million and began on 15 January 2026.

  8. The #Financial Conduct Authority is planning changes that would give #banks and payment providers greater flexibility to set contactless payment limits. Firms with strong fraud controls would be able to set their own limits, respond to inflation and new #technology, and offer customers more choice, including the option to set personal limits or turn contactless off. #Contactless payments continue to grow, with nearly 95% of eligible in-store card transactions made this way in 2024. Existing consumer protections will remain, including reimbursement for unauthorised transactions. The FCA says the changes aim to support convenience, choice and innovation while maintaining security. The new rules will take effect from March 2026, though most firms are expected to keep current limits initially.

  9. Cardiff Bus will introduce weekly fare capping from 10 November 2025, making travel simpler and better value. Passengers using #contactless Tap On, Tap Off will have their fares automatically totalled through the week. Once the cost reaches that of a weekly ticket, no further payments will be charged for the rest of the week. To qualify, customers must use the same contactless card for all journeys and tap on and off each time. The scheme applies to adult fares only. Weekly capping removes the need to buy a weekly ticket in advance, offers automatic savings, and gives flexibility to travel as often as needed without extra cost. Designed to make bus #travel fairer and easier, it ensures passengers always pay the best possible fare while enjoying a simple, cashless way to move around #Cardiff in #Wales.

  10. Japan's public #transport uses these mystical #IC #cards that teleport you through gates faster than a #ninja on caffeine ☕🚄. Turns out, while you're fumbling with Google Pay, the Japanese have been using space-age #tech all along. But sure, let's keep pretending your #contactless card is the next big thing 🤡📱.

    I live in #Texas #USA. We are #blessed to have H-E-B. #heb

    H-E-B uses Favor to deliver, though they also support #contactless curbside pickup.

    They have shelf tags identifying local/Texas products.
