Created a material that combines DNA and glass: it is stronger than steel
A team of researchers has discovered a supermaterial that could revolutionize materials engineering. By combining DNA and glass, they created a material that is 5 times lighter and 4 times stronger than steel.
Revolutionary generator transforms humidity into continuous electrical energy
Research published in Nano Research shows how atmospheric humidity can become an inexhaustible source of energy thanks to polyoxometalates
Material with micro knots thinner than a hair resists twice as much as the others
The material developed by Caltech and capable of developing ultra-resistant micro knots can revolutionize biomedicine and the aerospace industry
An immunosensor can quickly detect cancer, and more
Advances in cancer diagnostics: the innovative immunosensor will allow the early detection of specific biomarkers in the blood.
Meta-optical, we are on the eve of a total change
Meta-optical technology is a growing field that focuses on the use of metamaterials to create optical components with unique properties.
Shelfy, that is: put the purifier in the fridge and increase the shelf life of the food
The technology behind this surprising "fridge" purifier that extends the life of our foods has an entirely Italian heart.
A new brain stimulator feeds on breathing
Treatments for Parkinson's and other disorders will improve with the adoption of a new self-powered brain stimulator.
Biological nanofibrils effectively extract precious metals from water
A new system could greatly simplify access to precious metals that are essential for many modern industrial processes and appliances.
Scientists create flexible (and super cold) ice
A flexible ice was obtained at low temperatures by a Chinese team. It can report phase changes, detect viruses and transmit data.

“Tetrakaidecahedrons” stop bullets better than Kevlar
Tiny geometric carbon structures are so compact together that they absorb impacts (and bullets) much better than Kevlar.
5 home life trends for 2021
Domestic life in 2021 and beyond. What will change with Covid we will take with us into the future. Change the house and change the way you live there. That's how.
Italian-Spanish team reconnects neurons in spinal cord injuries
Two groups in Spain and Italy have developed a "sponge" of nanomaterials capable of reconnecting the neurons of a damaged spinal cord
Revolution in imaging: tattoo ink to detect cancer
A revolutionary new method for detecting cancer has been developed using contrast media made from tattoo colors.
Amphibian, wearable gills for breathing underwater
Amphibio is a 3D printed garment that would allow humans to breathe underwater without the need for oxygen tanks.
In nanomachine towards the future
It's not the first and it won't be the last. Scientists from the University of Groningen (Holland) and the Empa research center (Switzerland) have created a nanometric transport system equipped with four motor units (translation: a “namomachine”). It's electric, four nanometers long and every half turn of the wheels has to fill up... It works thanks to a scanning tunneling microscope positioned above it, which transmits a tiny electric charge that causes reversible structural changes in the wheels (translation: … Read more
