North Dakota police will be able to arm their drones

October 10, 2015

In the American state, a law created to ensure that the police did not use weapons on drones has in fact led to a provision with the opposite effect: it will be possible to equip drones with Tasers, stun gas, pepper spray and all sorts of non-invasive weapons. lethal (if by “non-lethal” you mean something that killed 39 people last year). It is the first American state to legalize such a possibility, and not even doing it on purpose is there… Read more

6 bets for the future

December 26 2019October 8, 2015

The list of technologies under study is very long and is constantly updated: one of the latest lists of future developments that could change the world forever comes from the Institute of Ethics and Emerging Technologies, a research center founded in 2004 by a philosopher, Nick Bostrom, and a bioethicist, James Huges. The list, drawn up with the consultancy of futurologist Gray Scott, presents really interesting elements: here are the "magnificent" 6 technologies that could arrive in the near future. Age reversal… Read more

i30: small flashes of the future.

March 24 2014

Calling it a 'restyling' is humiliating: after extensive renovation work above and under the bonnet, the Hyundai i30 presents itself with a decidedly 'European' and decisive appeal, and gives the readers of Futuroprossimo (and those who write to you first of all) a lot of insights into the innovations that are now part of modern automotive culture. From the multipurpose solutions to the greater possibility of 'customising' the purchase, from the ever greater guaranteed (and perceived) safety to the stylistic innovations, this car convinces from the first glance. Just for … Read more

V-Tex, here's the microwave fridge

April 26 2019October 30, 2013

$v tex$

Who hasn't come home at least once on a hot summer day and discovered that they had all their drinks OUT of the fridge? Forced to wait at least a quarter of an hour to be able to drink them cold, how many of you have asked yourself "why isn't there something like a microwave fridge that instantly cools food?". Very soon the question will be answered: V-Tex is a device being created by a consortium of companies... Read more

The road will purify the air thanks to a special asphalt

November 14, 201318 September 2013

Even if the masses focus on the poisonous emissions of carbon dioxide, other dangers hide behind (it must be said) our cars: nitrogen oxides, for example. deadly because they react to sunlight and form nitric acid, directly involved in the formation of ozone, smog and acid rain. Exposure to these agents in traffic damages the respiratory tract, even seriously in the medium to long term. Some tests are verifying a possible solution to the problem: that of 'purifying' the ...

Telecom cools costs with a hot offer

November 5, 2022August 24 2013

The digital divide in Italy is still at rather worrying levels: it's not just about the distance between those who have a connection and those without one, there is also a big difference between the various types of connections and the average time spent on the web. Internet connection today allows much more than the simple use of a PC: new generation consoles, on-demand video content and interactive activities on smart TVs can only be used through a 'broad' contract...

The ship laser passes the first test.

October 30, 2013August 11 2013

It may not be able to cut through a thick sheet of steel any time soon, but the US Navy has demonstrated that its solid laser can incinerate small boats. MLD (Demonstrative Maritime Laser) is a 15 kilowatt beam designed specifically to equip ships: its 'civilian' use could ward off pirate attacks, but it remains a full-blown weapon designed to offend and destroy. Last Thursday MLD passed its first test, annihilating a small boat with a… Read more

Bravo LPG, accessible ecology

July 15 2013July 15 2013

More than a novelty in the Bravo range or at Fiat, today we are talking about an offer that Lingotto offers (and in times of crisis the offers are very useful) for the dual fuel version, LPG version of the Bravo; the possibility of having the car at an advantageous price, complete with financing, insurance and without a down payment. For those who don't know it yet, the Fiat Bravo Mylife is equipped with a 1.4 HP 90 EasyPower engine and, as for the ... Read more

Goodbye puncture? At least for bikes!

November 1, 2012November 1, 2012

For years and periodically, tubeless tires have been offered for all vehicles: their adoption is struggling to reach its completion (perhaps due to the producers' interests in having greater wear of this product to encourage quicker replacement: it's a sin to think badly, but sometimes you can guess). But perhaps the time has come for bikes to say goodbye to annoying punctures and more or less makeshift remedies for inflation... Read more

The mad rush of miniaturized health

July 10 201326 September 2012

The efforts that technology has made to improve our health conditions and our life expectancy seem to be preparing for the big leap, causing a substantial transformation in the way we treat ourselves and stay healthy for a long time. Here are the changes we should prepare for, and if they don't arrive quickly we should push for them to happen: Loanable Telemedicine: Telemedicine services, 'lighter' consultations that can be delivered via telephone or internet, now have an excellent propensity to ...

The beauty of landing on a flying airport.

November 14, 2013May 5, 2012

Size matters, even when it comes to aircraft: the bulkier the aircraft, the better they fly, with more stability and efficiency (think of the recent, enormous Airbus A380). Nothing prevents us from imagining, therefore, a timeline in which we will aim to create increasingly larger aircraft, to the point of launching real flying airports, capable of hosting and landing other planes on top of them. This is the underlying reason for the 'Airborne Metro' concept: it is, in fact, ... Read more

At Christmas make a small gesture: save the world

November 14, 2013December 10 2011

The future of man is threatened by his own activities: if consumption habits, compulsiveness and illicit activities are not curbed, the near future will be full of unknowns and threats for the entire human species. In the meantime, it is above all animal species that pay the costs. The report from the International Union for Conservation of Nature, an organization that monitors the environment and suggests proactive solutions to guarantee its defense, is very recent: 25% of all mammals ...

Jobs of the near future: 26 jobs of tomorrow

November 5, 2022November 14, 2011

In the days that mark the fall of the Berlusconi government and the Italian economic crisis (remember? we predicted it on the old site) I am as disheartened as all of you. The moment is difficult: we can only get out of it if all levels of our country change by looking to the future more than to the past. Some jobs will still survive in the future, let's be clear: but there is a whole series of jobs that don't exist today and which could be useful in the near future. Let's go with common sense: 60%...

S100A10, has Cancer found its killer?

October 15, 2012November 1, 2011

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. The action of… Read more

2012, the year of redemption for blogs: Enel has its prize ready.

November 5, 2022October 6, 2011

The long wave of social networks has passed: this precious communication tool has been adopted en masse by surfers all over the world, but the massive use of social platforms such as Twitter and Facebook has not swept away an 'old' form of expression on the web, which is indeed always left for dead but always remains afloat: gentlemen, the blog is not dead but lives and fights together with us. The flow of continuous updates that we can refer to over time… Read more
