1957, the year the world got along in the name of the future
Joint efforts, scientific transparency and cooperation: 1957 was a magical year for the future, and until now never repeated.

Experimental magnetic levitation line with permanent magnets: a quieter, faster, cheaper and more comfortable Maglev
Scientists have just shown how it is possible to hack a fly's brain. Disturbing prospects.
A robotic micro-swarm of iron oxide nanoparticles has excellently replaced a toothbrush in cleaning plaque from teeth.
They are small, they are aggressive (oh my God, I hope not) and sooner or later they will go into action: the millirobots are not seen, but they will feel all right.
A new method allows the use of magnetic nanobots to clean the bacteria that populate the deepest canals of the teeth.
Scientist David Wallace talks about the risk of "solar storm", what would happen if a geomagnetic storm hit the Earth
An ESA report says hibernating astronauts could cut mission costs and reduce the weight of the spacecraft by a third.
The thruster exploits processes underlying the solar eruption, also contemplated in future nuclear fusion reactors.
The lunar atmosphere will be recreated in a laboratory. The first (small, very small) anti-gravity chamber will be born in China.
Scientists are testing a new method for predicting the arrival of tsunamis, hoping to help save more people
An artificial intelligence is able to read eye movements and even predict them, even in patients who are sleeping.
The US and UK authorities confirm the coronal mass ejection from the Sun: a geomagnetic storm will arrive on Earth in the next few hours. Actually, four.
A revolutionary mechanism inspired by the octopus tentacles allows to obtain a soft robot without motors and extremely precise.
It is bad to refute suggestive ideas such as those on flat earth. Much better to imagine what life would be like in such a sparkling world!
The Tianhe module of the Chinese space station under construction will be the first in history to exploit ion thrusters.
Data from the Cassini spacecraft and powerful computer simulation models help define the internal composition of Saturn, the most fascinating of the planets in our solar system.
A new hypothesis links the extinction of the Neanderthals to a magnetic pole reversal event 42.000 years ago, and shows what could happen again.
Several space missions in 2020 suffered delays. In 2021 the calendar is full of events: someone will go swimmingly, someone else who knows. Here they are.
A system that "uploads" knowledge into the minds of pilots, neuromodulation, can be a new step in the human-machine interface
An all-metal asteroid, Psyche 16, is the next target of a NASA mission that is entering the final stage of development.
