The defining promise of Donald Trumps 2024 campaign was lower costs on "Day One." He broke it. The first six months of this administration have been marked by ever-higher prices.Republicans in Congress would be wise to remember that voters are never quicker to fire elected officials than when they break a core promise. It is this Congress who will be on the ballot next year, not Donald Trump.The campaign trail promises sounded too good to be true, because they were. Trump committed to "end" inflation, cut energy costs "in half," make health care more affordable, and that Americans would see "drastic price reductions" and cheaper groceries.For most swing voters, lower costs were the whole point of voting for those now in power. They were counting on policies that would improve their lives, not make them harder. As polls show, the anger runs deep for a president and Congress who are gutting the social safety net, dolling out special favors to their wealthy friends and personally profiting from high office.WHY AOC COULD TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2028 AND KAMALA HARRIS WON'TWorking Americans are speaking out against the policies that are making life more expensive. And candidates running in 2025 and 2026 have a duty to listen.We help lead the bipartisan Cost Coalition, which exists to show how Washingtons economic agenda is making the American Dream unaffordable. The most credible voices in this fight arent in Washington; theyre our neighbors who are paying more and getting less. Americas working families, veterans, small businesses and people of faith, are rising up to tell the real story.Take Trumps signature Washington policy solution, the "big, beautiful bill," which raises costs.Its inflationary tax breaks for the wealthy mean gutting the safety net and kicking 10 million Medicaid beneficiaries off of their health insurance.When Allison Harris daughter was diagnosed with cancer, steep medical bills would have bankrupted their family even with private insurance coverage.Michigans Medicaid program helped cover the costs. Shetoldtheir localnews station that when the "big, beautiful bill" was signed, she felt "fear and disgust. Because you never know until something like this cancer journey happens, exactly how much stuff costs."DON'T BE FOOLED. MAMDANI ISN'T THE FUTURE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THESE TWO PATRIOTIC WOMEN AREHer daughter, Kendall Williams, added, "I feel like the fact that they even signed it into law just shows how some adults dont have common sense."Common sense is hard to find in Washington, especially when it comes to the economic whiplash from blanket tariffs that are fueling anewwave of inflation.The price of ground beef is at a record highand more Americans are usingBuy Now, Pay Laterto afford groceries.Large retailers likeWal-MartandAmazonhave already raised prices.And nowProctor and Gamblesays tariffs will increase prices on common household products from Tide detergent to Luvs diapers."Its hard enough to buy the things my family needs.Raising that cost is going to make it harder," Ohian Charlene Monoskiesaidto her localnews.Its not just families.Hard choices are facing small business owners eat the tariffs or raise prices on their customers.TRUMP'S TARIFFS AND TAX CUTS ARE CRUSHING MAIN STREET AND MAKING MAR-A-LAGO ELITES RICHAfter decades teaching in Pennsylvania schools, Jamie Pikulsky opened the From Scratch Uniontown cafe, where she tries to keep her prices affordable to compete with larger chains.But tariffs mean shes paying $600 more a month for the coffee she serves her customers.Shesays: "I don't know of any small business right now that is thriving. It's tough across the board."Instead of ending inflation "immediately," like Trump promised the country at the Republican National Convention last summer, his policies have made inflation worse.And more pain could be on the way with the latest round of tariffs, after failed negotiations didnt yield 90 deals in 90 days.Both parties should fight against the Washington agenda that is raising costs.More elected Republicans need to think for themselves. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., had the guts to choose the people of North Carolina over the "big, beautiful bill." Tillis spoke out on the Senate floor, asking his colleagues, "What do I tell 663,000 people in two years or three years when President Trump breaks his promise by pushing them off of Medicaid because the funding is not there?" Tillis knew that kicking people out of their health insurance shifts costs onto all of us.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONAnd Democrats must show they are listening to working people by focusing relentlessly on lowering costs and growing the economy.Former North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, who is running to succeed Tillis, is showing the way by calling out "politicians in D.C. [who] are running up our debt, ripping away our healthcare, disrespecting our veterans, cutting help for the poor, and even putting Medicare and Social Security at risk, just to give tax breaks to billionaires."So is Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, whosays: "The cost of living in the economy is the driving issue for the average person. Its just not always driving the conversation among political elites."Thats the disconnect.Whatever the billionaire in the White House may think, the American people are not stupid. They know they are paying more and getting less. They are saying it today and they will say it again next year, when they will again cast ballots for who leads the next Congress.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM TERRY HOLTCLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM ANDREW BATES

Volleyball season is upon us again. Last years National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) volleyball season was over politicized like never before, with NCAA and USA Volleyball (USAV) allowing a male athlete to dominate the Mountain West Conference on a Division One womens team. As a former USAV player myself, the disrespect and disregard for female athletes felt all too familiar. Throughout my athletic career and in my work in policy beyond that, I have come to know their morals intimately, and that is why I was not at all surprised when their new "gender policy" was a complete head fake, and possibly even more disrespectful than before.Sport governing bodies took a hard blow in February after their failures to protect female athletes from discrimination required presidential intervention. President Donald Trump ordered the secretary of state to see that the Olympic governing bodies ensure that eligibility for womens sports is determined according to sex, not "gender identity."After the USOPC clarified USAV, as a national governing body (NGB), is required to align with President Trumps executive order, USAV released their new gender competitionpolicy. It says, "USAV athlete members are expected to participate or compete in all USAV sanctioned events or activities as a member of the gender assigned at the time of birth on their birth certificate."SEC LINDA MCMAHON, PAYTON MCNABB: COMMON SENSE SAYS WOMEN'S SPORTS ARE FOR WOMEN ONLYAt first glance, it may appear they finally did the right thing.But the policy not only conflicts with the executive order (because you canalteryour birth certificate in most states), but it violates the purpose of the entire effort.USA Volleyball does not even acknowledge that sex exists, opting for the Orwellian "sex assigned at birth" narrative.Their "gender competition policy" treats a foundational component of humanity as if it is as arbitrary as your favorite color. To them, "gender" is just an F or M blindly assigned on a document. The policy even says athletes can "change their Profile gender at any time," though thatwill not necessarily change their eligibility status. Additionally, their website is stillplasteredwith anti-woman propaganda including a documentarytrailer featuring a young child who altered their birth certificate (the very loophole we are discussing in the new USAV policy), and links to left-wing political advocacy groups likeGLAAD, The Trevor Project, andGender Spectrum.Sure, there will likely be fewer men competing in womens volleyball because of their new policy. That is surely a win. But it is hard to see this as a pro-woman shift inside USAV. In fact, it is quite the opposite. USAV is digging their heels in the ground. They are dead set on doing the least they are legally required for their female athletes. (Who, by the way, are consistentlyshatteringattendance and viewership records and bringing womens athletics to new heights.)Their anti-woman agenda is not new. In fact, I had to play against a male athlete while playing under USA Volleyball in high school. It was during the heat of my recruiting process, so the embarrassing display of contrast between our skill could have knocked me out of my scholarship entirely. The physical dangers here are obvious, too, as he was playing on a net seven inches shorter than the mens net, with his dominant physical advantages.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONFrom that day on, I began petitioning for reform in womens sports that safeguards sex-based protections. It has been over six years, and it is shameful both that women have been ignored, and that it required the presidential pen to get any kind of response.Thanks to President Trump, we have a clear path forward. In his first day in office, heacknowledged"efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women by depriving them of their dignity, safety, and well-being." He also asserted, "It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female."This is the core of the modern womens rights movement. This is what USAV is missing.As long as they deny the reality of sex, they will deny us the dignity we deserve.Unfortunately for them, female athletes like me are in for the long haul. We will continue to appeal until we see our governing bodies truly championing female athletes. We deserve as much. Whether thats passing Congressman Greg Steubes "Protection of Women in Olympic and Amateur Sports Act," an overhaul of USA Volleyballs woke leadership, or revoking their USOPC membership altogether, we will not stop fighting until fairness and womens dignity are restored for female sports at every level.

The Republicans "Big, Beautiful Bill" included the largest repeal of green corporate subsidies in U.S. history. Congress cut more than half a trillion dollars in open-ended tax credits from the Biden-era Inflation Reduction Acts (IRA) so-called Green New Deal programs. Its a remarkable achievement, but one that will mean little unless the Trump administration follows through with strict regulatory implementation.The budget bill ends subsidies for electric vehicles and home energy improvements this year and next. The industry-level tax credits for wind, solar, and hydrogen are supposed to end after 2027, and most other energy sources will lose their subsidies by 2035. Had Congress not acted, these uncapped electricity production and investment tax credits were on the road to costing taxpayers more than $100 billion annually by the 2030s. But the taxpayer savings will mean little without careful regulatory follow-through.As part of the political compromise to secure the budget bills passage, a coalition of conservative lawmakers demanded something often overlooked in Washington: faithful regulatory implementation. In response, President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order on July 7 directing the Treasury Department to tighten itsinterpretation of requirements to begin constructionon projects to qualify for the tax credits and restrict foreign-subsidized firms (foreign entities of concern) from accessing the subsidies.PRESIDENT TRUMP IS PURSUING ENERGY DOMINANCE CONGRESS SHOULDN'T GET IN THE WAYThis next regulatory phase is where the battle to end the blank check for green energy will be won or lost.The Trump administration can learn from its predecessor. Under President Biden, Treasury guidance dramatically expanded the green subsidies, inviting aggressive tax credit harvesting, andinflating the fiscal costof some programs several times over. Trumps Treasury should do the opposite: narrow interpretations, strict eligibility rules, and rigorous anti-abuse enforcement.Start with the beginning of a construction test. Under current guidance, developers can secure tax credits simply by incurring 5 percent of projected costs or performing limited on-site work, often amounting to little more than site prep or buying some solar panels (which can always be sold later). The project then has four years to be brought online, with an option to ask for an extension.The new executive order rightly calls out these lax rules, directing the Treasury to prevent "artificial acceleration or manipulation of eligibility." The administration should raise the spending threshold to 50 percent or more, require substantial physical work to be completed, shorten the four-year harbor, eliminate extension applications, and require regular re-certification to prove construction is ongoing.Next, the administration should strictly enforce the foreign entity of concern restrictions, which bar tax credits from flowing to projects dependent on Chinese-controlled suppliers and other adversarial regimes. Bidens Treasury gutted this requirement by exempting subsidiaries and intermediate components from scrutiny. A stricter interpretation would lower foreign ownership thresholds, expand scrutiny of supply chains, and enforce strict certification and audit procedures with meaningful penalties for falsification.The Treasury should also consider reforms, not explicitly addressed in the executive order. For example, there is an80/20 rule, which allows companies to claim full tax credits for refurbishing old systems so long as 80 percent of the projects value is "new." Trumps Treasury should eliminate this rule. Tax credits should apply only to new infrastructure.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONFinally, the Treasury must crack down onappraisal-based tax credit fraud. Its common for companies to claim inflated "fair market values" for used property under the 80/20 rule and leased property, sometimes inflating those values to multiple times the actual cost. Congress intended the credit to reflect real capital investment, not paper valuations conjured by aggressive tax attorneys. Credits should be based on actual out-of-pocket expenses.None of these reforms require new legislation. They simply require the Treasury to do what the law already requires: enforce eligibility requirements and prevent abuse.Small government advocates often lose sight of the regulatory battlefield, assuming that good laws will implement themselves. But special interests never forget this stage. They are already flooding agencies with comment letters, white papers, and exaggerated claims about the negative effects of strict enforcement. The Trump administration must not blink.The heavy lift in Congress is done. Whats needed now is execution. The Inflation Reduction Acts implementation was shaped by special interests and green energy lobbyists. If the administration acts boldly, it can undo that influence and the United States can close the book on one of the most expansive and distortionary industrial policy experiments in decades.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) was asked how he could support President Donald Trump as a devout Christian during an interview Tuesday on "CBS Mornings Plus."The Republican senator joined the morning show to promote his new book,"One Nation Always Under God: Profiles in Christian Courage," which features inspiring stories about influential American men and women whose faith shaped the nation. The book was released on Tuesday.During the segment, Scott was asked about his belief that Americas Judeo-Christian values are under threat and how a society can define one fundamental "truth" when people hold differing moral views on issues like illegal immigration. He was also asked how he can reconcile his Christian beliefs with his support for Trump."As a practicing Christian, how do youreconcile your support for PresidentTrump when many people see his actionsas lacking Christian values?" CBS anchor Adriana Diaz asked.SEN TIM SCOTT: THE SECRET BEHIND APOLLO 8'S BROADCAST IS A FAVORITE STORY OF CHRISTIAN COURAGEDiaz listed Trump's cuts to funding foreign aid, his "rhetoric toward migrants," and his Truth Social post this week telling Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to "go to Hell" as examples where his critics would argue his actions weren't aligned with Christian values.Scott dismissed the comment directed at Schumer as routine political rhetoric."I've heard a lot of politicians say a lot of things about other politicians," he said.He defended Trump's policy record, particularly on tax cuts, as actions that reflect the values of opportunity and individual responsibility that America was built on."Being able to put ourselves back on solid ground is really important," he said. "But specifically, if you think about what President Trump has done, frankly, on reinforcing the PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) funding that provides billions of dollars to Africa for AIDS, if you think about President Trump's approach on taxes, when we passed the Trump tax cuts in 2017, we lowered the taxes for a single mother by 70%. If you look at the expansion of the child tax credit, $2,200 today, it was $2,000 when we first passed it, it was only $1,000 before we passed it."GINGRICH WARNS 'VERY PROFOUND CULTURAL CIVIL WAR' UNDERWAY, SAYS DEMOCRATS DOUBLING DOWN ON 'WEIRD VALUES'He continued, "If you look at the impact of providing the average American family with $6,000 as a result of those tax cuts and if you reverse that and look at the Biden administration years, we saw a loss of $1,075 per month in spending power. When inflation goes to 9%, interest rates follow, making everything more expensive. If you look at where we are today, 2.7% is where inflation is. I would say, without any question, the most compassionate approach to providing the best future for the American people is by giving them as many of their resources to make their own decisions," he argued.Scott added that returning to America's guiding principles of optimism and individual responsibility is its best hope for the future.The senator also joined "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday morning to discuss the new book and why he believes Zohran Mamdani, a socialist and a Democratic nominee for the New York City mayoral race, is the "worst" option for New Yorkers.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard told a New York Post podcaster that she believes aliens could possibly be real.Speaking on the New York Posts "Pod Force One," Gabbard answered "yes" when pressed about whether she believes in the possibility of extraterrestrial life, according to the outlet.A former Democratic presidential candidate turned Republican, Gabbard leads President Donald Trumps intelligence community and serves as his principal advisor on intelligence.Asked on Miranda Devines Pod Force One podcast whether "there could be aliens," Gabbard started answering by saying, "I have my own views and opinions" and "in this role, I have to be careful with what I share."MILITARY JET'S MYSTERIOUS COLLISION RAISES QUESTIONS ABOUT ADVANCED UFOS IN US AIRSPACE: 'BEEN HERE ALL ALONG'Pressed further on whether she believes in the possibility of extraterrestrials and UFOs, she answered "yes."The outlet reported that Gabbard noted she was not prepared to talk further on the issue, she said her team will be transparent with the public when the time comes, saying, "Were continuing to look for the truth and share that truth with the American people."Gabbard also mentioned that she still has "a lot of questions" about the mysterious flurry of drone sightings over New Jersey late last year.At the time U.S. national security officials in the Biden administration sought to dispel concerns about the sightings, with one FBI official describing the nationwide uneasiness as "a slight overreaction."OVER 60 UFO SIGHTINGS REPORTED WHIZZING ACROSS STATE IN FIRST HALF OF 2025, NATIONAL TRACKING GROUP SAYS"I still have a lot of questions around that," Gabbard said, adding, "Ive heard what the public official line is.""I just personally still have a lot of questions that are unanswered, because it wasnt just New Jersey. It was happening in different parts of the country," she told the podcast host.The DNI did, however, say "theres a lot of classified information" in the U.S. intelligence community about the suspected Chinese spy balloon that was spotted flying over several states in 2023.PENTAGON SAYS THERE'S NO VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL TECHNOLOGY, BEINGS OR ACTIVITYAfter allowing the balloon to fly over much of the U.S. for about a week, former President Joe Biden eventually ordered it shot down over South Carolina.Gabbard declined to tell the host more about the intelligence communitys information on the balloon.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Jared Allen joined "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday morning to reflect on the emotional speech he delivered during his enshrinement ceremony, where he paid tribute to his Christian faith, his wife, and his daughters making clear that lifes true priorities extend far beyond football."That's what my life's always been about. It's how I was raised. [They're] the most important things to me," he told co-hosts Ainsley Earhardt, Lawrence Jones and Charlie Hurt.Over the weekend, the former Minnesota Vikings and Kansas City Chiefs star was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, where he spoke movingly of his "walk with Christ" and addressed his wife and daughters directly.BRAND NEW NFL HALL OF FAMER HAS WARDROBE MALFUNCTION DOING SIGNATURE SACK CELEBRATIONTo his wife Amy, he said, "I am in awe of you every single day, and I love you more than life itself."To his daughters, Brinley and Lakelyn, he said: "You two are my greatest accomplishments. When I get called home to heaven one day, if all they talk about is this gold jacket and my career, then I failed miserably as a father, a husband and a friend."STERLING SHARPE RETURNS GOLD JACKET FAVOR, HONORS BROTHER SHANNON SHARPE IN HEARTFELT HALL OF FAME MOMENTAllen said he never expected his heartfelt speech to have the impact it did, adding that he was trying to make some people laugh at points and give a good message to his children at others."The Bible tells us, you look at when Paul and Peter were in front of the Sanhedrin, and God said, 'Don't worry about what they say, I'll give you the word.' So for me, I was just trying to deliver a heartfelt speech to my family and my friends and my teammates and just let people know what I was about," he continued on Tuesday.Allen's wife and daughters appreciated his shout-outs in the moment, but he hopes the message resonates even more deeply as the girls grow older."I'm hoping they continue to look back on those moments and understand how to achieve greatness in whatever you do, not just athletics. I always tell my kids, you've just got to find your passion. You've got to chase it. Figure out what your purpose is and go after it with a full head of steam, and that's all I really want for them, so I hope that's what they take from it."

Texas state Rep. Jolanda Jones apologized on Tuesday for comparing Democrats fleeing the state over redistricting to the Holocaust.Jones was one of several Texas House Democrats who left the state on Monday to avoid a vote on Republicans' new proposed congressional district map, which would potentially secure five new GOP U.S. House seats in next year's midterm elections. They claim the redistricting will disenfranchise minority voters.Speaking to former CNN host Don Lemon from an "undisclosed location" in New York, Jones emphasized the importance of standing up against such "racist" actions to avoid the same mistakes that led to the Holocaust.BETO ENCOURAGES DEMOCRATS TO FIGHT 'FIRE WITH FIRE' IN TEXAS REDISTRICTING BATTLE"We better have the courage to stand up, otherwise we will fall for anything," she said. "And in this country, we will be defeated, deported. I mean, we will lose all of our rights. And if you think it can't happen, it can.""And I will liken this to the Holocaust," Jones continued, "People are like, Well, how did the Holocaust happen? How was somebody in a position to kill all them people? Well, good people remain silent or good people didn't realize that what happens to them can very soon happen to me or somebody I love."And so, even if you made it, man, you have an obligation to help people who can't because, God forbid, they end up targeting you and your family."In a statement to Fox News Digital on Tuesday, Jones apologized for her comments and retracted her comparisons to the Holocaust."I made a statement on The Don Lemon Show comparing Trump's attempt to disenfranchise Black and Brown people to the Holocaust. That was a mistake, and I apologize for it. Trump is coming for my community, and I get emotional about it and make strong statements. But that was going too far, and I retract that comparison," the statement read.TEXAS DEMS RIPPED FOR 'CARTOONISHLY DUMB' STRATEGY TO FLEE TO BLUE STATE NOTORIOUS FOR GERRYMANDERINGTexas Gov. Greg Abbott's press secretary, Andrew Mahaleris, criticized Jones' original comments."Fleeing Texas House Democrats continue to beclown themselves through this desperate, anti-democratic stunt. Unlike these radicals, Governor Abbott refuses to abandon Texans. If the House Democrats who deserted Texans were serious about delivering results, they would come back to the Texas Capitol and do the job voters elected them to do," Mahaleris told Fox News Digital.Fox News Digital also reached out to the Texas Democratic Party for comment.In the interview with Lemon, Jones also dismissed the argument made by Texas Republicans that she and other Democrats will need to return to the state eventually, remarking she "aint got to do nothing but die.""[T]he point is, I will stay gone as long as I need to stay gone. And I hope that my colleagues feel as convicted as I do. That right now, you know, I always wondered what I would have done would I've been walking onthe Edmund Pettus Bridge. Would I have been willing to walk for over a year with the Montgomery bus boycott. And you know what? Now is our civil rights moment, people," Jones said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAfter several Democrats failed to return to the Texas State Capitol on Monday afternoon, Texas Speaker of the House Dustin Burrows announced he would sign arrest warrants against any absent Democrat lawmakers if authorized by a vote of the chamber. Abbott then swiftly called on the Texas Department of Public Safety to arrest the "delinquent Texas House Democrats."Abbott has also threatened to expel the Texas House Democrats for leaving the state.

If you live near a busy street, this new breakthrough from Switzerland could offer some long-awaited relief. Researchers at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA) have developed an ultra-thin traffic noise absorber that significantly reduces sound levels while occupying just a fraction of the space required by traditional materials.The new absorber is only about 2.1 inches thick, yet it performs on par with much bulkier products, such as rock wool. Even more impressively, it can be customized to target specific types of noise, making it ideal for a variety of indoor and outdoor settings.Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, youll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide - free when you join myCYBERGUY.COM/NEWSLETTER.SUSTAINABLE 3D-PRINTED HOME BIULT PRIMARILY FROM SOILThe innovation lies in the materials composition: a multi-layered mineral foam made from gypsum or cement. Each layer contains pores of different sizes, designed to force air particles to travel in longer, more winding paths. That extended journey helps dissipate sound waves more efficiently than flat or uniform insulation.EMPA researchers also use numerical modeling to simulate how sound will move through the material. By adjusting pore sizes, perforation patterns, and layer thickness, they can fine-tune the acoustic performance for a specific space or type of noise. This kind of control makes the absorber suitable for locations ranging from quiet stairwells to bustling office environments.WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?To test the material in a real-world setting, the EMPA team installed a prototype in a driveway in Zurich. They covered roughly 130 square feet of wall space with panels just over 2 inches thick. One end of the driveway opens onto a busy street, while the other leads into a quieter courtyard.The results were immediate and measurable. Traffic noise dropped by as much as 4 decibels. The sound reduction was most noticeable when cars entered or exited the driveway, since the panels caused the noise to bounce multiple times before reaching the courtyard. For context, a 4-decibel reduction is sufficient to noticeably reduce the irritation caused by street noise, especially in densely populated urban areas.One of the best features of this sound absorber is how little space it requires. Traditional insulation materials tend to eat up valuable inches, limiting where they can be used. This thin, dense material offers more freedom for architects, interior designers, and developers to include noise protection in areas where every inch matters.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HEREThe panels can also withstand outdoor elements. They are weather-resistant, fireproof, and made of recyclable materials, making them both durable and environmentally responsible. Because they do not release harmful particles, they are also safe for indoor use in places like schools, offices, and apartment buildings.While the design and performance are promising, the current production method poses challenges. The panel perforation is still done manually, which makes it time-consuming and difficult to scale. However, EMPA is already working with Swiss manufacturer De Cavis to streamline production and prepare for broader commercial use. Once automated, this material could become a standard feature in construction projects where noise control and space efficiency are both top priorities.If youre dealing with constant background noise from traffic, nearby businesses, or shared walls, a product like this could be a game-changer. A thinner absorber means you can finally enjoy peace and quiet without sacrificing living or workspace space.Whether you're a homeowner looking to quiet a bedroom wall, a property manager renovating an apartment complex, or an architect designing a new office building, this material opens up possibilities that simply didnt exist with traditional insulation.Noise pollution doesnt just interrupt your day; it affects your health, mood, and productivity. Thats why a versatile, slim, and powerful sound absorber like this is more than just a material upgrade. Its a lifestyle upgrade. While its not yet widely available, the work being done to bring this technology to market suggests that quieter cities, homes, and workplaces may be within reach much sooner than expected.If you could cut the traffic noise outside your window in half using panels thinner than a paperback book, would you do it?
