Technological innovation and sustainability: the revamping of industrial plants as a tool for the green transition
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

First results of DARPA brain implants: improve memory
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...
