Brain implants are breaking new ground in the treatment of paralysis. Find out how these innovations could restore mobility and hope to patients.
New “smart” coatings for orthopedic implants will be key to reducing infections and monitoring the patient's healing process.
We hear more and more often about revamping, meaning with this term the replacement or updating of equipment and technologies that are obsolete and which for this very reason are destined to be replaced by more sustainable and modern solutions. This is a process that involves multiple advantages, starting with the possibility of reducing the quantity of waste produced, greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption: what therefore improves is the environmental impact of the entire plant. AND … Read more
A series of huge floating solar plants can give the decisive boost to a world powered by renewable energy
An MIT method for regrowing hair cells restores hearing without hearing aids. It can be a turning point.
Through targeted ultrasound-based activity, sonogenetics promises a future without invasive brain implants, and without Parkinson's.
A UV-LED light kills Covid, and it does so much more economically and sustainably. The team that tested the solution is thinking about use in ventilation systems
Thanks to an innovative reading method, data can now be obtained from microsensors less than 1 millimeter in size. The era of injectable implants is born.
According to DARPA statements, the group of volunteers who underwent brain implants are experiencing improvements in memory. The project, Restoring Active Memory (curiously the acronym is RAM, just like the memory of a computer) can promote the mnemonic and cognitive recovery of all subjects affected by brain trauma. The group of volunteers, subjected to surgery for the positioning of brain implants through electrodes close to the regions of the brain responsible for the development of declarative memory, obtained better results...

Heat accumulators, more precisely heat pump accumulators, are devices used for the production of domestic water, i.e. water used for personal hygiene and cooking. Since these are devices that are becoming more and more common, let's try to understand how they work and what benefits they can bring. How do heat pump accumulators work? Visually, heat accumulators very closely resemble classic electric water heaters, which are now almost out of use; … Read more
