This research changes the perspective of the problem: the basis of the overweight caused by these foods is not the presence of fats, salts and sugars but a mechanism that has not yet been explained.
A partnership between George Mason University and two companies, Sodexo and Starship Technologies has developed a new home-based food and drink delivery service to students on campus based on autonomous robots.
First, the good news: today only #Amazon is offering 10 euros discount to everyone (on a minimum #spend of 50 euros), to thank its customers for having been elected for the second consecutive year "Best in Italy - Champion in service". The e-commerce giant has achieved this important result and has decided to thank the users who decide to spend on Amazon every day. The discount will be valid by entering the discount code “GRAZIE1000″ at the time of purchase. At the same time, … Read more
Lost a tooth due to a cavity? Your dentist will 3D print one for you that could protect your entire mouth from any future problems. Researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands have published a study, “3D Printable Antimicrobial Composite Resins,” which illustrates the results of a surprising experiment: the creation of teeth capable of killing bacteria on contact alone. A 'guardian capsule' for all the other teeth, in short. How does it work? The replacement tooth is designed exactly as… Read more
The fight against waste in an increasingly crowded world immersed in a dense network of economic exchanges is a fundamental direction. Add to this the shortage of energy resources and the scarcity of food and we will have a future scenario that is truly difficult to face, unless we come up with an important idea, or we decide together to work on a better way of producing, consuming, even eating. . Every year, for one thing, almost a billion and a half is wasted... Read more
One of the most promising fields of near-future technologies is that of 3D printing. We talked about it in this recent article with reference to food, and now we have the opportunity to admire 3D printers one and a half meters long, capable of building a 700 square meter house in 20 hours. The special construction process called CAD/CAM includes computer assistance for both the design and manufacturing parts. Entire housing units… Read more
Solar energy is a crucial factor in powering the robots of the future, and it is absolutely possible to find it in an incredible number of applications. The latest, suggestive and disturbing like few others, concerns a class of totally automated micro aircraft that fly using the movement of birds. Prof. S.Gupta of the University of Maryland presents 'his' Robo Raven as follows: Currently the solar cells cover less than half of the wingspan of Robo Raven: they produce 3.6W of power on a sunny day, with an efficiency of the … Read more
I make this premise for all those, including myself, who have turned up their noses at handling such news: the existence of hamburgers is not my fault, and the slaughter processes in the world occur independently of us. We can and must ask for fairer conditions for the breeding and treatment of animals, even those that constitute food, and this is beyond doubt: once this is done, if you are not a vegetarian, a bovine is raised to make steaks. An adult bovine… Read more
The Christmas holidays are coming and as always the world is divided: I'm not talking about wars and physical or ideological conflicts, I'm referring to the division between those who spend this period looking for more time to spend with their loved ones, and those who take the opportunity to do shopping and grabbing any object, once again, seamlessly. What do we really need? Time passes quickly: a century ago Christmas was completely different (even Santa Claus, ... Read more
