The Breath, the future of clean air

May 6, 2016

It's called The Breath, and it's an entirely Italian invention: it's an innovative method for purifying the air inside our homes. The Breath is a special multi-layer fabric that makes the environment healthier: it is in fact capable of absorbing, blocking and breaking down the polluting molecules present in the atmosphere. The system is not powered by external energy sources of electrical or fossil origin. Just place it on a wall like a normal panel or a painting, and The Breath will do the rest: it guarantees performance... Read more

A study definitively proves that aging is reversible

January 27 2017November 20, 2015

A group of French scientists managed to restore the original functions of cells taken from over 1-year-old patients, reprogramming them and returning them to the stem cell stage: this is proof that the aging process can in fact be reversed. The research on the possibility of removing the signs left by cellular aging, published on November 2011, XNUMX in the journal Genes & Development, “opens up a new era of regenerative medicine,” declares Jean Marc Lemaitre, who directed the study at the Institute of … Read more

Samsung foldable batteries: towards a 'chargeable' world

November 20, 2015October 29, 2015

At the recent InterBattery 2015, an event showcasing all the latest technological solutions in the field of batteries and held in Seoul, Korea, Samsung presented the prototype of a whole new line of batteries that fold like ribbons, capable of providing over 50% energy to wearable devices such as smartwatches. The “striped” battery is designed to fit just like fabric, while still offering high energy density. The first prototypes were integrated directly into the straps… Read more

Laboratory-printed human tissues will render many animal tests unnecessary within 5 years

November 27, 2019November 17, 2013

Human tissues made with 3D printers could very soon save millions of lives: those of laboratory rats. More than three hundred million animals are killed every year in scientific laboratories and research centers around the world: they are mostly mice, rats and rabbits which are used to study vaccines and drugs to be tested in subsequent phases on humans: it is a sad (and sometimes necessary) reality that could soon be avoided. At Heriot Watt… Read more

The gym of the future

July 18 2019October 15, 2013

Gyms are not a recent phenomenon: if you think that it is only a place linked to the vain and obese, you are wrong. The 'gymnasium' was the ancient Greek space that hosted the physical exercises and training of athletes. The first gym in the form we know came out in the middle of the last century, with a point of no return: the creation of the first working treadmill, in the 60s, which allowed the first brave people to start running in ...

The Twitter suit displays messages in real time

November 14, 2013February 20 2013

Wearable technology has already made its appearance in the sports sector (now bracelets and chest bands for monitoring data and performance are countless) and is now preparing to land in the world of high fashion: the model and pop singer Nicole Scherzinger a few days ago he wore a dress connected to Twitter and capable of showing his message stream in real time. A crazy rudeness according to myself: yet in her way worthy of note... Read more

Connectomics – Building a map of the mind

October 15, 2015July 10 2012

There are approximately 100 billion neurons in the brain of an adult human, and each of these neurons is connected to hundreds of others for a total of approximately 150 billion connections in total. Neuroscience is discovering that it is the pattern of these connections, the structure of this immense neural network, that is largely responsible for the functionality of the brain, in other words for our mental life: everything we feel, think, experience or do. Our … Read more

Preserving the brain to live again in digital form: plastination.

November 10, 2011

Death is the end of everything. Our brain, which has functioned well for many decades, at the moment of our departure from the world, in the space of just twenty minutes undergoes anoxia and neurons and synapses fall apart. No machine, after such damage, will be able to revive us; it will be able to reactivate cardiac functions and circulation but our brain will be gone forever. And to say that the brain has "gone" for philosophy... Read more

Repairing the damage of time will 'cure' you from old age

November 8, 2011November 7, 2011

Day after day this ambitious goal is starting to become reality thanks to the progress of biomedical research. For several years, researchers have believed that the cells most damaged by aging, called "senescent", damage the surrounding tissue causing many of the pathologies characteristic of old age. These cells, which have stopped dividing due to the ravages of time, continue to secrete large quantities of molecules, many of which are toxic, in the surrounding environment. In a study recently published in the prestigious journal Nature, scientists from "Mayo ... Read more

S100A10, has Cancer found its killer?

October 15, 2012November 1, 2011

As we all know, there is a phase in the development of this pathology that makes its course deadly: when tumor cells multiply and spread to other organs, creating metastases, it is almost impossible to face and win the battle for the survival of a patient. Waisman's recent studies have identified in this process the direct responsibilities of a protein, S100A10, present on the surface of macrophages, the cells responsible for the body's immune defense. The action of… Read more

5×1000 to the WWF: give a gift to the future.

November 5, 202227 September 2011

Our planet needs a small overhaul: with an economy increasingly in crisis and an epochal transition from an energy system based on fossil fuels to another (hopefully ever closer) that focuses entirely on renewables, our presence activity is increasingly important to guarantee new generations greater freedom, greater variety of species and less pollution. We can do a lot: an important principle that will be able to keep our ecosystem standing is to... Read more
