The flying motorcycle that can also go on the road
The LMV 496 is an electric motorcycle with a range of 99 kilometers: with a button the wheels are lifted from the ground, transforming the vehicle into a flying motorcycle.
New method regenerates tooth enamel with a phosphate gel
The team tested a special gel on teeth placed in a solution that recreates the environment of the mouth. The tooth enamel regenerated in just 48 hours.
Samsung will have graphene batteries: recharge in 15 minutes
Graphene batteries are 3 to 5 times faster than lithium-ion batteries, which take around 90 minutes to fully charge.
10 high-tech pocket gadgets to use every day
Over the years, the smartphone has brought together various devices that were once separate: music player, telephone, camera, video camera and so on and so forth. Yet there are still many high-tech gadgets to carry around: let's take a look at 10 technologies to carry with you every day. MINILOP Orbiter Fidget Spinner Tired of the same (already) old fidget spinner? This two-piece device consists of a magnetic ball that rotates a titanium disk producing a hypnotic… Read more
Electronic contact lenses zoom in at the blink of an eye
The possible uses of electronic contact lenses? Many: from visual prostheses to self-adjusting glasses or remote robotic operations.
How long can humanity survive?
What are the long-term predictions for humanity, whether it will survive (a very) long time? 6 problems to face in the very, very distant future.
The wait is over: here is the Neuralink presentation
The human-computer connection will be able to read and write a huge amount of information. In the Neuralink presentation the first, important vision.
Solid in light, soft in the dark: here are the dynamic materials
A team has developed one of the dynamic materials with the most unusual qualities: it can increase its hardness when illuminated, and return soft in the dark.
A ferroelectric battery improves with use
The 96-year-old inventor of lithium batteries challenges thermodynamics by announcing the development of a glass battery that increases its capacity with use rather than deteriorates.
The huge mass under the South Lunar Pole could be a buried asteroid
The data examined by a team from Baylor University in Texas presents a strangeness: in the area of the observed crater, gravity should decrease, but it increases. The most plausible explanation is that the object responsible for the impact is still there, almost intact beneath the surface.
10 reasons why graphene will revolutionize the planet
Here are 10 applications with which graphene will change the world.
Energy from snow: developed generator and working devices
They are based on the principles of the so-called "triboelectric effect", and their fields of application are boundless.
Artificial womb, new steps forward
A research team manages to grow extremely premature fetuses out of a womb.
Duoskin, the tattoo that brings electronics to our body
Not just touch and super-connected clothes: soon we will be able to communicate with the smartphone even through our skin, via a #tattoo called #Duoskin. It's called epidermal electronics and soon we will all be able to find it on ourselves: the design of each tattoo is customizable, the colors are silver and gold and the aesthetics are fabulous. The prototype was created by a student of the MIT Media Lab in collaboration with Microsoft Research, it is made of gold leaf (the conductive material), integrates an electronic component and is transferred ...

Here is the first robot goalkeeper, tireless overseer
Guard the entrance and deliver the mail. It almost completely replaces the old condominium or building concierge. Almost. Here is the robot goalkeeper.
Here is the new artificial skin from MIT
MIT in Boston, Massachusetts has successfully created the first artificial skin. This new development could lead to huge advances in prosthetic technology and treatments for burns and other skin injuries. How is artificial leather made? Artificial skin is made from sheets of collagen that have been coated with a special type of sugar molecule. When this artificial skin is implanted under human skin, it bonds with the natural tissue of… Read more
Here is the smart window that needs no curtains
The curtains, what a stress! You have to wash them, iron them, hang them, remove them, clean them, open them, close them... but isn't there a simpler and more intelligent method for darkening windows in 2016? This is what Harvard researchers must have thought, as they are designing a "smart" window to do without curtains altogether. The producers of solar awnings will be unhappy, but housewives and those who generally take care of home maintenance will be much happier. The new generation window, in fact,… Read more
G3DP, the “glazier” printer
G3DP is a manufacturing platform designed to 3D print transparent glass developed by researchers at MIT. Not only that: it can make them graduated by varying their thickness and also modify through other steps the degree of opacity of a glass and its color, the index of transmission, reflection and refraction of light, and all the other parameters specific to any type of glass. The platform is based on a thermal printer with two heating chambers: the upper one acts as an oven… Read more
Graphene prodigies: charged electric cars in 16 seconds, now you can
If I asked 10 of you readers what in your opinion is the biggest problem that hinders the large-scale diffusion of electric cars, probably 3 of you would blame the oil lobbies (it's a sin to think badly but you're not often wrong) and 7 of you would blame conventional batteries, which take too long to charge. Well, you're all right. Graphene supercapacitors, however, are a more than concrete promise to solve the problem: they are… Read more
