Urine produces electricity: in 36 years I have squandered a fortune.

October 15, 2012November 28, 2011

And I'm only counting humans: until yesterday it was considered an unpleasant waste product (except for diehard lovers of the drink). Today a team of English scientists has discovered a possible and very useful application that would help transform urine into electricity. Dr Ioannis Ieropoulos and his team at the University of Bristol last week published the surprising results of a study demonstrating how urine can be successfully used in microbiological fuel cells. … Read more

Today is World Toilet Day: the future is also to have more hygiene.

November 5, 2022November 21, 2011

Dirty, smelly and not recommended for hygiene, but they do their job: these are our sewers. Although it may present serious structural problems (often all sorts of problems arise from their congestion, in conjunction with rains and overflows), our Network is an achievement of civilization from which not everyone in the world can benefit. Take developing countries: the absence of any system for disposing of our biological waste causes the death of hundreds of people every year... Read more

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%...

ET3, flying over land: speed at the tube.

A consortium of companies seeking to aggregate funds and ideas to reach the definitive development of the project recently presented this invention at the annual innovation award of the Da Vinci Institute. Transport through ET3, in the intentions of the developers, will be clean, fast, comfortable and accessible to all. What is it about? Imagine carrying out a sort of space flight, but staying on earth: traveling faster than a jet plane but doing it in an electric vehicle that... Read more

Will it be the cold fusion weekend (Italian)?

October 30, 2011

While the Bel Paese struggles with economic reforms and new political pressures, yesterday the first independent test took place on a new energy technology called E-Cat: it is a system that uses low-energy nuclear reactions to produce enormous quantities of cheap and clean energy. If it works, it will be a complete revolution for our society: as Mina said "..and I underline SE". Over the past 2 years, the E-Cat concept and prototypes have been… Read more

Nissan lower and lower: car loaded in 10 minutes.

October 16, 2011

The next electric car revolution will be as fast as the time it takes to recharge the batteries of the vehicles that are preparing to invade the world. Filling up with petrol doesn't take more than two or three minutes, while currently it takes several hours to fully charge a new generation vehicle. Nissan is only the latest among the companies that, in chronological order, have worked with the aim of progressively 'breaking down' this time period: the latest method... 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

5×1000 to the WWF: give a gift to the future.

November 5, 202227 September 2011

Our planet needs a small overhaul: with an economy increasingly in crisis and an epochal transition from an energy system based on fossil fuels to another (hopefully ever closer) that focuses entirely on renewables, our presence activity is increasingly important to guarantee new generations greater freedom, greater variety of species and less pollution. We can do a lot: an important principle that will be able to keep our ecosystem standing is to... Read more

An amphibious garden to clean European rivers

July 7 2020March 26 2011

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

LipoControl: a laser will sculpt our body

March 27 2011March 24 2011

Freshly approved by US health authorities, a new laser application could become the next winning weapon in removing unwanted fat. Osyris Medical, an American company specializing in medical instruments, has produced LipoControl, a device for laser-assisted lipolysis, the elimination of unwanted fat cells: it is an auxiliary tool that does not avoid the use of the operating room, but allows (unlike the cannula used in liposuction) to 'break down' targeted groups of fat cells, facilitating the operation and cleaning of the ...
