Unobstructed, the fashion for disabled people that has no barriers
The collection demonstrates how it is possible to create a fashion line for disabled people that helps them on a daily basis but can also be worn by "able-bodied" people.
A ferroelectric battery improves with use
The 96-year-old inventor of lithium batteries challenges thermodynamics by announcing the development of a glass battery that increases its capacity with use rather than deteriorates.
Future work, the ideal dose will be 8 hours per week
The study published in the journal Social Science and Medicine shows that when someone goes from unemployment to a paid job of 8 hours or less per week, their risk of mental problems is reduced by at least 30%: instead there is no evidence that a longer schedule provides greater mental well-being.
eNAMPT, enzyme in the blood of young mice extends the life of elderly ones: now tests on humans
As reported in the journal Cell Metabolism, the protein circulating in mice (an enzyme called eNAMPT) plays a key role in the process that provides cells with energy. Over the years, the latter become less and less efficient in producing this "fuel" (called NAD) necessary for your health.

5 predictions in 5 years for a revolution: VR and AR will change the world
Here are 5 predictions on small revolutions that with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) will add more worlds to what we live.
The next hard drive? It will be DNA.
The preservation of information is increasingly crucial: this is why companies like Microsoft are studying the "hard disks" of the future. Among the most promising research is that which focuses on a truly exceptional "physical memory": DNA. Our DNA is a medium that stores data about us: on an IT level its "performance" is extraordinary. Like Hard Disk, DNA does not degrade over time. It is so versatile that it contains in just 4 grams all the information produced in an entire … Read more
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
Can we go back to walking with Cyber Therapy?
A new hope for those trying to walk again comes from technology, and precisely from Cybertherapy. What is it about? Virtual reality comes to our rescue, with a special super-technological "cave" in which to "immerse ourselves" to carry out physical and cognitive rehabilitation. They are called "Cave", and are two virtual rooms installed at the IRCCS Auxologico Italiano in Milan where virtual immersive Telepresence (Tiv) is experimented. In the caves you can simulate typical scenarios in which some disorders are treated, including cognitive ones in ... Read more
