As a result of climate change, more and more people in cities are exposed to flooding, extreme temperatures, and water or food shortages. The infrastructure of major cities can be damaged by landslides, flooding, or temperature events, with cascading effects throughout the city. Power outages can affect water pumping, traffic control, street lighting, and hospitals, schools, and homes.

Researchers in the group led by Prof. Dr. Karl Mandel, Professorship for Inorganic Chemistry at FAU, have succeeded in developing a novel temperature indicator in the form of a micrometer-sized particle whose central component is rust.
