We are all asking ourselves, as we witness the decline of globalization: what is to come? That of a “block” world is the most probable hypothesis.
China brings back to Earth a tiny sample of the mineral that could make the difference in the race for world supremacy: it contains Helium-3 and the prospect of virtually unlimited energy.
An increasingly strong magnetic field is what we need to contain the energy of nuclear fusion: and in China they have just set a new record.
There are scientists who were great even when they were young: child prodigies who accelerated the progress of the planet. Here are four.
Solar parks built day and night by tireless robots: Terabase's vision could give a big hand to renewables.
The water battery starts operating after 14 long years of construction. And never before could it be very useful to Europe.
It will be the largest in the world, it will give a boost to the country's energy, but above all a clear message: renewables are reliable.
Kinetic 7, that is: water, some electricity and a converter to generate a low-cost, zero-emission fuel. And who believes it.
The era of space mining will arrive: companies and scientists are moving to achieve it, but it won't be easy.
A new, newly developed heat engine with no moving parts may be a breakthrough in eliminating fossil fuels
Moving through other star systems at the speed of light is a dream: now we have taken a small step in its direction.
A new paper examining the technical aspects of a planetary defense system says yes: we can save the Earth from an asteroid.
The progress of a civilization can easily be assessed by the quality and effectiveness of its inventions, by the technical and technological advances that have fueled its evolution as mentioned here on FuturoProssimo, but also by the level of awareness achieved by people. Faced with the enormity of a new discovery, or faced with the launch of a new innovative artefact that will change the lives of human beings forever, individuals come to the conclusion that their destiny, together with the overall advancement of civilization, ...
