Computers 2017 begins with viruses and attacks

New year, but old life for computers: 2017 began in the wake of recent months, with a strong incidence of viruses and attacks by computer pirates. But part of the responsibility lies with the users themselves, who often overlook the importance of a secure password. What happens when the laziness of computer users is combined with the "ability" of cyber pirates, capable of creating ever new and more numerous threats?

graphene

If I asked 10 of you readers what in your opinion is the biggest problem that hinders the large-scale diffusion of electric cars, probably 3 of you would blame the oil lobbies (it's a sin to think badly but you're not often wrong) and 7 of you would blame conventional batteries, which take too long to charge. Well, you're all right. Graphene supercapacitors, however, are a more than concrete promise to solve the problem: they are… Read more

The gym of the future

Gyms are not a recent phenomenon: if you think that it is only a place linked to the vain and obese, you are wrong. The 'gymnasium' was the ancient Greek space that hosted the physical exercises and training of athletes. The first gym in the form we know came out in the middle of the last century, with a point of no return: the creation of the first working treadmill, in the 60s, which allowed the first brave people to start running in ...

pepsispecial thumb 550xauto 105030

The global diffusion of soft drinks has reached widespread figures: an entire part of the 'Western' world seems to drink more colored concoctions than water. The results are alarming, many research centers on the planet have already brought out the results of different studies, all of which agree in attributing negative effects on the organism. The reason? Carbon dioxide which upsets the stomach. A burst of sugars (about 9 teaspoons per can) or sweeteners (aspartame and acesulfame suspected of being carcinogenic). The dyes. A disaster, in short. And for … Read more

The greenest fuel there is? Made with air and water.

clean petrol

AFS (Engineers at Air Fuel Synthesis) based in the north of England claims to have produced 5 liters of synthetic oil in the space of 3 months. It's a little bit, you might say. And give me a break. The technique consists of extracting carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from the water, then combining them in a reactor which produces methanol with the help of a catalyst. The methanol is then converted into oil. Now have you understood why it takes 3 months for 5 liters? Not exactly the time that… Read more

You move on to artificial blood

After 5 days 94% of the cells were still alive and… Read more

S100A10, has Cancer found its killer?

s100a10

As we all know, there is a phase in the development of this pathology that makes its course deadly: when tumor cells multiply and spread to other organs, creating metastases, it is almost impossible to face and win the battle for the survival of a patient. Waisman's recent studies have identified in this process the direct responsibilities of a protein, S100A10, present on the surface of macrophages, the cells responsible for the body's immune defense.
