6 protagonists of precision agriculture, the future of food

August 5 2019August 4 2019

The use of batteries for vehicles and agricultural machinery promises to revolutionize the cultivation industry by lowering costs and improving production. From large tractors to small harvesting machines, all vehicles will be completely transformed by electric. On the other hand, current agriculture is under pressure: on the one hand the need to produce more food to avoid the food crisis. On the other hand, the need to reduce waste and abuse of land and water. Precision agriculture can increase the production of… Read more

From oil to electric, the service stations of the future.

February 18 2017

In the near future (not too near) we will see a significant acceleration of the transition from a transport system based on oil to another based on electric cars. The transformation will concern many aspects of mobility and will not neglect an omnipresent element in our routine as travellers: what will the service stations of the future be like? More catering, no petrol The profits of the old "petrol stations" could drop vertically, and we will witness a transformation that will make these refueling points a middle ground... Read more

The story of the robot that escaped from the laboratory

June 20 2016

It happened in Russia: a rather intelligent robot escaped from the laboratory where it was under construction and blocked traffic for quite a while. Maybe this wasn't his intention, but the level of intelligence and autonomy achieved by these new robots is incredible. The robot learning to orient itself autonomously, test after test. Suddenly the door was left open and, just like a Roomba, our little robot came out until it reached the street. The escape took place… Read more

The solar-powered plane: the future of transportation?

April 26 2016

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

EasyJet, the hydrogen hybrid plane arrives

February 7 2016

Not just electric and hybrid cars: the airline sector also wants to renew itself, and EasyJet wants to lead the way with the project of a hydrogen hybrid plane. In fact, air pollution also comes from airplanes, and the EasyJet company has been trying for many years to reduce CO2 emissions and become more "green." The company recently presented the concept of an aircraft that uses fuel cells to power the engines during hovering. … Read more

Flexible sensors: a revolution. Our life at a glance.

November 4, 2015

The best medical devices for measuring blood pressure today require a prolonged stay of the patient in the clinic. An experimental sensor can adhere to the skin almost like a tattoo and monitor this parameter in real time 24 hours a day. Why is a wearable sensor a revolution? A flexible and wearable sensor marks the difference between a simple 'photograph' of the patient and a constant path that allows us to perfectly understand what correlations exist between daily activities and the variation...

North Dakota police will be able to arm their drones

October 10, 2015

In the American state, a law created to ensure that the police did not use weapons on drones has in fact led to a provision with the opposite effect: it will be possible to equip drones with Tasers, stun gas, pepper spray and all sorts of non-invasive weapons. lethal (if by “non-lethal” you mean something that killed 39 people last year). It is the first American state to legalize such a possibility, and not even doing it on purpose is there… Read more
