Yahoo no longer exists
#Yahoo now belongs to the past. Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer will leave the company when the sale of its Internet business to Verizon Communications closes. Yahoo will thus give way to Alibaba Group Holding and Yahoo! Japan, and will change its name to Altaba to reduce its board of directors to five members. Yahoo recently reached an agreement to sell its Web business to Verizon in an operation costing $5 billion, although there was no shortage of problems (see the attacks… Read more
The solar-powered plane: the future of transportation?
The first solar-powered plane made its first flight and landed without any problems. At 8am yesterday, April 45, Italian time, San Francisco airport welcomed solar pioneer Bertrand Piccard, who flew aboard Solar Impulse, the first solar-powered plane, crossing the Pacific Ocean in three days. With the first solar journey, we want to give an impetus to the global community to accelerate the transition to solar energy. Solar Impulse left Abu Dhabi… Read more
AI2 will predict cyber attacks
Against modern cybercrimes, we need modern artificial super intelligences capable of fighting them. And this is precisely what AI2, a highly sophisticated artificial intelligence, aims to do against cybercrime. Developed by MIT, by a group at CSAIL (Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab), a new type of artificial intelligence, AI2, was born. The acronym stands for Artificial Intelligence Squared, and it is a revolutionary software. According to estimates developed by the team that developed it, AI2 would be able to predict and block approximately 85% of attempts… Read more
Stephen Hawking to discover space
Stephen Hawking doesn't stop, and joins investors and wealthy patrons to discover space. The aim is to find life forms, and to reach Alpha Centauri in a few years. Hawking joined the Russian billionaire and philanthropist Yuri Milner and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in the venture: the three announced the launch of one of the most ambitious missions in space exploration, costing around 100 million dollars .

The world's smallest bulb has been created
Research increasingly looks at the creation of powerful but environmentally friendly light sources, which are able to ensure high performance with a long life. Here researchers at Columbia University in New York have created the smallest light bulb in the world, strong and powerful but as large as an atom. The secret of creation is to be found in the presence of graphene, a flexible and transparent material which was used as the basis for the light source. Graphene… Read more
You move on to artificial blood
Artificial blood could soon become a reality thanks to the first successful human transfusion. Dr. Luc Douay of the Parisian University 'Pierre et Marie Curie' extracted stem cells from bone marrow and 'encouraged' them to grow and transform into blood cells by administering a cocktail of growth factors: finally he injected 10 billion of these cells (the equivalent of 2 milliliters) in the donor's spinal cord. After 5 days 94% of the cells were still alive and… Read more
When Thomas Edison wanted to build houses
Yesterday's dreams are today's reality: we live in the age of mechanical, electrical, chemical and psychic wonders. In every field of knowledge the human mind is solving the problems it finds in nature: the dreamer dreams, the businessman has the duty to transform and sell these new ideas. What will be the point of view of those who are able to do both, to imagine and realize what the world needs? The article refers again, between… Read more
Vertical bed, relaxation becomes urban
New York inventor Jamie O'Shea will not be remembered for giving the world civil flight, nor electricity: he probably won't be remembered at all. His creation, the Vertical Bed, is exactly what can be deduced from his bare name: a bed that allows you to sleep... while standing. The brilliant invention can support the weight of an individual's body simply by attaching its bases to a manhole. Let's be honest, I have no idea who I might find comforting... Read more
ET3, flying over land: speed at the tube.
A consortium of companies seeking to aggregate funds and ideas to reach the definitive development of the project recently presented this invention at the annual innovation award of the Da Vinci Institute. Transport through ET3, in the intentions of the developers, will be clean, fast, comfortable and accessible to all. What is it about? Imagine carrying out a sort of space flight, but staying on earth: traveling faster than a jet plane but doing it in an electric vehicle that... Read more
Here are the corporations that control the world
The idea that the few rule over the many is not new: a team of Swiss mathematicians has given a precise face and name to this 'master group' of corporations which, alone, controls 80% of the world economy. Global dominance theory? Study, not conspiracy The group from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (composed among others by Stefania Vitali and Stefano Battiston) used an analysis method often used to measure connections between websites: the ...

There's no need to be comfortable: the crisis is also hitting the sofa. Natuzzi's complaint.
Pushed globalization has not been interpreted in the best way: many analysts expected the world to become smaller, and instead we only discovered it to be worse. There is a lack of rules that allow true freedom of exchange, because the total absence of economic constraints has leveled the prices of goods that require human labor downwards: their decline has corresponded to the lowering of workers' income and purchasing power. And the quality of the products? Worsened, with the use of… Read more
