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.

Counterintuitively, Mars is full of water: an incredible quantity discovered under its North Pole
The amount of ice trapped between layers of underground sand is such that if it were to melt it could submerge the entire planet. It is an extraordinary discovery.
Superwood is born: it is as strong as steel and reflects the sun's rays
The new wood is very dense and has a strength of around 404 megapascals, which makes it almost 9 times stronger than natural wood.
Europe, ECFR survey reveals: the majority of voters fear the dissolution of the EU within 20 years.
Trust and support in the European Union are still high, but pessimism is growing about the stability of the entire EU project over the next 10-20 years.
Solar energy is knocking out natural gas, and Italy will gain a lot from it
Solar has already "taken out" coal in terms of convenience, and now has natural gas in its sights: this is why this situation can make the Italian energy market soar.
Never so much CO2 in our atmosphere
The human race has just broken a new record in its great race for ecological collapse.
Report Reveals: Man Directly Responsible for the Extinction of One in Eight Species
The report, drawn up by 145 scientists from 50 countries, investigated humanity's impact on the environment, concluding that of the 8 million known species on the planet, one million are on the brink of extinction solely because of humans .
Is the future of the hamburger green? The growth of the vegan alternative continues
Beyond Meat has focused everything on changing consumer eating habits to move to a model with zero or very little meat and its vegetarian alternatives. Are you right?
Against CO2 emissions we plant trees a hundred times faster using drones.
BioCarbon Engineering proposes to combat CO2 emissions and climate change by accelerating the planting and growth of trees up to 100 times, thanks to the use of special "farming" drones.
Norway plans a giant naval tunnel
The Norwegian government is working on a ship tunnel project with very respectable numbers: 3 billion cubic meters of rock to be removed; Almost 2 kilometers in length: 37 meters high, 26 meters wide; A capacity of approximately 100 ships per day; Cost of 1.7 billion crowns (approximately 186 million euros). The naval tunnel (construction of which will start next year) will be "alternating one-way": only one "lane", therefore, to make ends meet... Read more
Google aims for 100% renewable energy
#Google has a big goal for 2017: all the energy used for its operations around the world, from offices to data centers, will come solely from renewable sources. A 100% "green" Google, therefore. The company announced that the goal will be reached next year: "The fight against climate change is an increasingly urgent global priority." Google was one of the first companies to create, on a large scale, long-term contracts for the purchase of renewable energy, as Urs explains… 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
Paul Allen and the largest plane in the world
Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen is working on a "big" project: he wants to build (and fly) the largest plane in the world. In the competition for the race to conquer space, Paul Allen has decided to rely on SpaceX and Virgin Galactic for the creation of a particular and enormous plane from which to launch satellites into orbit. According to Reuters, which launched the news, Stratolaunch Systems, a division of the Vulcan Aerospace company owned by Paul Allen, … Read more
A device produces clean energy through evaporation
At first glance it may seem like a nice colorful toy, but in reality it is a refined device designed to produce electricity. It is a device developed by researchers at Columbia University, who used very special materials to create an instrument that exploits the humidity present in the air to generate 'clean' electrical energy. The device was made with colored Lego bricks, a sheet of rubber coated with spores, a coil and … Read more
Goodbye to air conditioners: 3D bricks that cool the air are arriving
Modern science is increasingly concerned with finding solutions for domestic well-being. During the summer seasons the heat can be unbearable, especially in the hottest locations and in the central hours of the day. Many people are therefore led to purchase an air conditioner, i.e. a device that conveys hot air and cools it by reintroducing it into the cold environment and therefore lowering the overall temperature of the environment. From today these systems could be replaced by a very special invention, namely climate bricks made of ... Read more
Chemtrails against global warming? There are those who say yes
Always protagonists in the argumentative repertoire of curious people, independent analysers, scholars, conspiracy theorists and free thinkers, the famous "Chemtrails" could emerge from the literature of counter-information to become part of tangible reality. No longer a borderline theme, therefore, but a conscious human activity. What is it about? The scientific journal PNAS (relaunched instantly by the more widespread Popular Mechanics) published joint studies by American, Scandinavian and Chinese scientists based on scenarios that effectively constitute speculation on the opportunity to do ...

Bravo LPG, accessible ecology
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
