Chopin and the Beatles teach us that things like good music can last a very long time: from tomorrow they could be preserved forever thanks to more stable and lasting memories. Since the advent of the information age, the most pressing problem of industry (and people) has been to protect a large ...

From the advent of touch screens onwards it has been a flourishing of mobile devices and tablets: the way we interact with these gadgets has changed at an impressive speed. Today some may mistakenly imagine that the 'finger-on-screen' scheme is the one on which the fortune of future technologies will be built, ...

Making a wheelchair capable of overcoming architectural barriers must not have been easy: today a team of engineers from the Chiba Institute of Technology, led by the Associate Professor, has succeeded in the feat using a good dose of lateral thinking. A wheelchair? Difficult to define it this way: when ...

Arduino is an opensource framework that allows rapid prototyping and quick learning of the fundamental principles of electronics and programming. It consists of a hardware platform for physical computing developed at the Interaction Design Institute, an institute based in Ivrea, founded by Olivetti and Telecom Italia. The name of the ...

The user writes in a comment on the blog of an engineer: Do (electronic) engineers also have to know how to write well in Italian or is it enough that they know how to 'count'? Let's start with a comment left on a blog article, with rather harsh tones and full of reproach for all young engineers ...

The 3D transistors are made thanks to Intel's revolutionary technology called Tri-Gate which, thanks to a 22nm technological process, makes us keep up with Moore's law. Topic to be explored on both Moore's law side (Will chip development follow Moore's law?) And ...

When over the last 5 years we have reported news on the robotic arm of DARPA (if you want, the old site is available), we were talking about advanced prototypes: today we can talk, with satisfaction, about clinical tests: it is the future. Not later than two weeks ago the health agencies ...

In difficult times like these, popular demands persist: in the last 3 and a half years the only positive developments for our country have come from referendums. To the increasing surprise of politicians and scholars of social flows, political protest movements are organizing and preparing to be, ...

Time passes, technologies and methods improve, and things that just seemed impossible are surprisingly at hand: it is appropriate to say, given the incredible new bionic arm born from the collaboration between the American universities of Pittsburgh and John Hopkins. It is a leap ...
