Ascension, a vertical forest in Croatia
A Turkish architecture team wins the competition for a vertical forest in Croatia by designing this futuristic “canoe” for the city of Zagreb
NASA's supersonic jet has no front window
The engineers believe that the right shape will reduce the bang produced by the supersonic jet although it is difficult to eliminate it entirely.
Airvida, the wearable air purifier
Bad to say, but we live in an atmosphere that is now so aggressive and polluting that defending ourselves is a duty: while waiting for clean air to return for everyone, let's put what we need around our necks.
5 exoskeletons already around that empower the human body
“Give me one of these things and I'll lift your world!”
Astronomers warn: Starlink, Elon Musk's satellites will destroy the night sky
There are currently 18.000 objects tracked in Earth orbit, of which 2000 are satellites. In the next few years the number of objects will double, and the number of satellites will increase tenfold. Telescopes (and our eyes) will no longer understand anything.
The 'air-conditioned' dress reduces the costs and environmental impact of air conditioners
A team of engineers at the University of San Diego has developed a wearable "patch" that provides personal 'air conditioning', heating or cooling the body and keeping it at a constant temperature in all weather conditions.
Here's how China will take the moon
8 and a half billion euros, collaborations with the West and a detailed plan that has already begun and will be completed in record time: in Beijing they mean business.
UK develops Americium engines for space missions lasting hundreds of years
The gigantic energy of americium and plutonium allows a range of otherwise unreachable space missions: the UK advances rapidly in this direction.
How to become a Martian. The course is coming
The movie The Martian seemed like pure science fiction just a few years ago, with Matt Damon surviving on Martian soil for months on end growing potatoes and producing water. Yet today there are those, like Elon Musk, who dream of bringing as many people as possible to the Red Planet. Other scientists do not reject the idea of a mass migration to #Mars, once the Earth has been definitively exploited. Within ten years, according to Elon Musk (who founded the SpaceX space agency), there will already be… Read more
Paul Allen and the largest plane in the world
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen is working on a "big" project: he wants to build (and fly) the largest plane in the world. In the competition for the race to conquer space, Paul Allen has decided to rely on SpaceX and Virgin Galactic for the creation of a particular and enormous plane from which to launch satellites into orbit. According to Reuters, which launched the news, Stratolaunch Systems, a division of the Vulcan Aerospace company owned by Paul Allen, … Read more
Child abuse, a network of 'sentinel' paediatricians will combat the phenomenon
Today more than ever the issue of child abuse is on the agenda: a society bereft of values and prospects for the future brings other orphans into the world, often abandoned at the mercy of a TV or internet without control and without sufficient protection . This is the context that puts more and more minors at risk of suffering violence, and increases the work of all the associations that have always been fighting to avoid child abuse. Among these the best known… Read more
Amazon will make us travel into space in 2018
Amazon intends to change our lives, and not just when it comes to purchasing products online. No, Jeff Bezos really wants to take us into space, as tourists, and he promises to do it within just two years. Science fiction or very close reality? In fact, it seems that Bezos will begin testing space flights with people on board next year and, if all goes well, tourists in groups of six will be able to experience a short space flight as early as 2018. Bezos himself said it, ... Read more
All ready for India on Mars
A few hours before the departure of India's first historic interplanetary mission. After a short delay due to small component problems, the trip to Mars of the vehicle developed by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) will be a reality. It's just the beginning, they say in New Delhi: with the typical enthusiasm of a nation growing at supersonic speed, ISRO has already declared that it wants to send a human mission by 2016, and this would be just the beginning of a long series of stages necessary for preparation. … Read more
ATLAST, Hubble 3.0 will put its nose everywhere
ATLAST (The Advanced Technology Large-Aperture Space Telescope) is the acronym that distinguishes the project of the next Hubble space telescope: a little gem capable of studying and mapping the atmosphere and surface of habitable exoplanets within a radius of 200 light years. The ability to capture light in all its spectrum and the very advanced technologies are two particularities that can easily be summarized in a feature that will make ATLAST the largest human eye on the universe: the size of the optics. The 'old' Hubble 2.0 has the lens … Read more
Branson inaugurates the first spaceport in human history.
For those who still need proof that the future is already here, consider this news: as of yesterday, the world has a commercial spaceport available in New Mexico, open to tourists who want (and can, especially financially) take a nice trip among the stars. The very concept of 'Spaceport' is one of those science fiction things: in books and films there is always someone who goes to get his spaceship from the spaceport, don't you think? From now … Read more
Hansen predicts: the seas will be higher than 7 meters
A chilling prophecy comes to us from James Hansen, 68 years of which almost 30 spent at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies: he almost never makes an observation wrong. In 1981 he wrote that the following decade would mark peak heat and the prediction came true. At the beginning of the nineties he said that the first decade of the new century would beat the previous record and this time too the facts proved him right. Let's hope that now he is wrong because the scenario he draws is... Read more
