Hyperloop, the train of the future

May 13, 2016May 13, 2016

If in southern Italy there are trains traveling at 30/40 km/h, the train of the future, which barely touches the tracks, is already almost a reality. It's called Hyperloop, and it will revolutionize rail transport. You can travel from Rome to Milan in 20 minutes. The test that took place recently in Nevada on the super-fast train had positive results. So in the next few years, will we be able to reduce train travel times? The test that took place in the desert lasted a few seconds, the time that ... Read more

SkinTrack, and the skin becomes touch

May 10, 2016

SkinTrack is an innovative system that will allow us to make our own skin "touchable", to control the smartwatch using the user's arm. All thanks to a ring that emits a signal and communicates with a detection band attached to the watch. When the finger wearing the ring touches the skin, a high-frequency electrical signal will spread across the arm, a signal then picked up by four pairs of electrodes positioned in the band. We don't yet know when this technology will be commercialized, but the timing could... Read more

Here are the three Earth-like planets

The discovery is sensational, and was announced in Nature by an international group of astronomers led by the Institute of Astrophysics and Geophysics of the Belgian University of Liège. “Thanks to telescopes… Read more

The alternative to gluten for celiacs

April 27 2016

There are two Italian women and scientists who could totally change the lives of celiacs, that is, those who cannot tolerate the gluten contained in some foods. The idea is to extract proteins from corn similar to that of gluten, to be added to food products for celiacs. This is to replicate the flavour, consistency and crumbliness of bread, biscuits and desserts, which only flour can provide. Thanks to this excellent result, the European Patent Office has included the two … Read more

The idea came from the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa and Professor Aldo di Carlo of the Roman University of Tor … Read more
