Subcutaneous microchips arrive

June 7 2016

Once upon a time we joked about the presence of subcutaneous microchips implanted by the State without the citizens' knowledge, but today all of this (or almost all of it) could become reality. Soon, technical prostheses could outperform natural joints, our senses will be augmented by devices implanted under the skin and artificial intelligence will be able to modify itself spontaneously. The first attempts to achieve this were seen at the TAG in Milan, where some people had a microchip implanted in their hand. Singularity University organized… Read more

AI2 will predict cyber attacks

April 23 2016

Against modern cybercrimes, we need modern artificial super intelligences capable of fighting them.

On Facebook there will soon be more deaths than alive

March 9 2016

Within a few years, Facebook will be a huge virtual cemetery. Sooner or later it had to happen: just as in the history of humanity, the dead will surpass the living. It has been calculated that in 2098 Facebook will transform into the largest 'virtual' cemetery in the world. This is according to the prediction of Hachem Sadikki, a statistics expert from the University of Massachusetts, who developed his theory based on the social network's choice to continue to refuse to automatically delete the accounts of deceased users, and in… Read more

Superlight solar cells arrive

March 3 2016

The future will be made of solar cells, yes, but super light and very small. In fact, MIT researchers announced to the world that they had created the lightest and thinnest solar cell ever, which could easily be placed on any material and surface, such as t-shirts, smartphones and sheets of paper. To always have a clean energy source. To show everyone that the cells are really very light, scientists placed the solar cell on a soap bubble, without ... Read more

In the sky, a satellite that monitors the health of the earth

February 16 2016

On June 23 last year, the Sentinel 2A satellite flew among the stars, a device that will monitor the health of our planet using colors. That's right, as the satellite is equipped with a special camera connected to the Sentinel 1A radar, which can scrutinize large swathes of territory using reduced frequencies and which can therefore monitor the changes that have occurred in global agricultural crops, offering an accuracy of unprecedented images.
