The era of Wi-Fi 6 begins, faster (and still weak)
4 times more capable, it manages many more connections without interference and goes like an arrow, but Wi-Fi 6 has the same desolating security flaws.

Really: how many chances do we have to live forever?
The prospect of living forever exalts many, terrifies many. What weight does this aspiration and this fear have? The answer of 4 scientists.
Developed metal that repairs itself at room temperature
For 6000 years we have made objects out of metal because it is strong and resistant: it takes a lot of energy to break it. The problem is that it takes a lot of energy to even repair it. You need a blowtorch that heats the metal parts up to 3500°C. Today, for the first time in the world, a research team has developed a way to repair metal at room temperature. A "regeneration" completely similar to the repair process of our bones, which will lead to the birth of... Read more
Samsung will have graphene batteries: recharge in 15 minutes
Graphene batteries are 3 to 5 times faster than lithium-ion batteries, which take around 90 minutes to fully charge.
We have genes that activate after death
The reason for the "post-mortem" reactivation remains unknown: it is now clear that death is a much more complicated process than we thought.
The blue night light consumes more sugars
The blue light in our eyes at night comes from LED sources and displays. Photoreceptors send stimuli directly to brain areas that regulate appetite.
eNAMPT, enzyme in the blood of young mice extends the life of elderly ones: now tests on humans
As reported in the journal Cell Metabolism, the protein circulating in mice (an enzyme called eNAMPT) plays a key role in the process that provides cells with energy. Over the years, the latter become less and less efficient in producing this "fuel" (called NAD) necessary for your health.
StoreDot recharges an electric scooter in just 5 minutes
StoreDots are thinner than normal lithium-ion batteries, contain less lithium, more Germanic and some preserving agents that counteract their decay: the results are amazing.
Forests of nanotubes, the future of wearable devices
Research identifies a special "forest" design made of folded nanotubes that will revolutionize the power of future devices.
The return of Nokia 6: the first Android smartphone
Do you remember #Nokia, the famous brand of indestructible cell phones? Well, now he's back, and he's produced #Nokia 6, the company's first #Android smartphone. The famous Finnish brand, which had been so all the rage in the past decade, has been licensed to the HMD company, a company founded by former Nokia and Microsoft employees who will be able to use the brand for another ten years. After various rumors and previews, HMD finally officially presents the Nokia 6. A simple mid-range Android smartphone with Android 7... Read more
Capturing energy from the wifi and converting it into electricity: a first device made
Along the road that leads to wireless electricity, or "witricity", there is an important new travel companion: a circuit developed by researchers at Duke University capable of capturing energy from sound and the WiFi signal with an efficiency close to that of solar cells. It is a small device that uses 5 copper and glass fiber conductors connected in a circuit through 5 channels made with a metamaterial. The circuit 'captures' energy from the aforementioned sources converting it into electrical energy... Read more
The gym of the future
Gyms are not a recent phenomenon: if you think that it is only a place linked to the vain and obese, you are wrong. The 'gymnasium' was the ancient Greek space that hosted the physical exercises and training of athletes. The first gym in the form we know came out in the middle of the last century, with a point of no return: the creation of the first working treadmill, in the 60s, which allowed the first brave people to start running in ...

Blood nanorobot to treat infections and tumors
This is the case of "nanobots" or microscopic machines (about 50 nanometers in size) that science fiction had imagined in the Star Trek series and which, injected into a patient's circulation, went there to rebuild damaged tissues, eliminate pathogens such as viruses and resistant bacteria or even eradicate a cancer. Unfortunately, the economic factor often stops the ideas and drive towards innovation of motivated researchers: no one puts in the money and the research remains on paper. … Read more
Sex and future: will we do it this way?
How will the way we relate to others change? And how will the world's oldest relationship, future sex, be transformed?
IBM declares war on antibiotic resistant bacteria
IBM and the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology in Singapore have designed a new type of polymer capable of identifying and destroying antibiotic-resistant bacteria and preventing their evolution. The most interesting feature of this nanostructure is that it is biodegradable and does not accumulate in tissues: it can be easily eliminated from the body, unlike previous polymer-based solutions. The material, used as a real 'invisible missile', destroys the cell membranes of bacteria: it has a ... Read more
