The hi-tech greenhouse for growing plants of the future

7d9a0a15718d6b5cf0a289cdf55cc208

The first hi-tech #greenhouse was presented to the world, equipped with an innovative LED lighting system to study and grow #plants in closed environments and under stress. Researchers at the ENEA Research Center in Portici are experimenting with it for the Tripode research project, with the aim of being able to cultivate even in environments lacking the fundamental characteristics for growth (in buildings or spaceships). The dream of every science fiction film: to grow plants... Read more

532150064 0008 U208229745750pD 1170x507@IlSole24Ore Web

And from now on we will control our devices only with our voice. “The assistant converses with you, it's a two-way dialogue between you and Google, it understands the world around you and helps you do what you need.

SpaceX, on Mars in 2018

555555

Elon Musk is serious, and promises to bring people to Mars by 2018. Very little, if we consider that there are less than two years left. Elon Musk, after creating the space travel company SpaceX, once declared that he wanted to die on Mars: is his dream about to come true? Details of the program are expected to be revealed by Musk himself at the International Astronautical Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico in September. The announcement is part of a larger project… Read more

stephen hawking

Stephen Hawking doesn't stop, and joins investors and wealthy patrons to discover space. The aim is to find life forms, and to reach Alpha Centauri in a few years.

How the future will be according to Facebook

Facebook virtual reality

According to Mark Zuckerberg, the future in ten years will be increasingly virtual. Between video chats, holograms, augmented reality viewers and robots to chat with, here is the vision of the future of the man who created an Internet giant (even if at the moment he is not sailing in excellent waters, given the decline in shares and activity of social media users). According to Mark, therefore, we will soon be inundated with videos, we will use chats to access any type of service and all... Read more

Chemtrails against global warming? There are those who say yes

chemtrails

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 ...

DONAR, the supercar that knows how to be a hovercraft

donate1

ABS Hovercraft, an English company specializing in the amphibious vehicle sector, definitely took a leap forward when 25 years ago it ventured into the development of a 6-seater hovercraft called DONAR. The creation, pioneering in every way, went from the lightness of the materials to the great protection offered by the closed cabin. Subsequent improvements and the introduction of progressively more advanced technologies have led to new features in a system that yesterday was simply too advanced, today who knows: ... Read more

i30: small flashes of the future.

cq5dam.web .650.600

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

How interactive displays change the future of retailing

because

PERCH pioneered the transformation of a normal display into an extraordinary means of communication, changing the users' purchasing experience. In these videos we show different possible applications of this technology, and how it will be possible to observe, choose and purchase objects in a much more interactive way than the one we adopt today. At the New York company they experiment with design, contents and forms, thanks to a system that combines cameras and sensors "evaluating" in real time the action that the buyer takes on the object, and...

Bravo LPG, accessible ecology

Fiat Bravo MyLife 300x188

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

ATLAST, Hubble 3.0 will put its nose everywhere

hubble3

ATLAST (The Advanced Technology Large-Aperture Space Telescope) is the acronym that distinguishes the project of the next Hubble space telescope: a little gem capable of studying and mapping the atmosphere and surface of habitable exoplanets within a radius of 200 light years. The ability to capture light in all its spectrum and the very advanced technologies are two particularities that can easily be summarized in a feature that will make ATLAST the largest human eye on the universe: the size of the optics. The 'old' Hubble 2.0 has the lens … Read more

Jobs of the near future: 26 jobs of tomorrow

Future Of Work i1140

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%...

Branson inaugurates the first spaceport in human history.

For those who still need proof that the future is already here, consider this news: as of yesterday, the world has a commercial spaceport available in New Mexico, open to tourists who want (and can, especially financially) take a nice trip among the stars. The very concept of 'Spaceport' is one of those science fiction things: in books and films there is always someone who goes to get his spaceship from the spaceport, don't you think? From now … Read more

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

NAS awards headshots

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

An amphibious garden to clean European rivers

Vincent Callebaut Architect Physalia2

Belgian designer Vincent Callebaut, who has always been committed to finding solutions to the problem of water shortages that will hit the planet with the population explosion that has already begun, has developed several concepts over the years that provide new perspectives. One of these is the 'Physalia Project', a cloud of amphibious gardens capable of simultaneously acting as a traveling exhibition space and cleaning system for Europe's rivers. Let's not hide it: our survival depends on the amount of clean water we drink. Second … Read more
