The gym in a nutshell

pills2

Everyone knows that there is no way to get a sculpted physique without exercise: exercising outdoors or in the gym improves health and has excellent effects on metabolism, circulation and brain function. Starting from this now acquired knowledge, scientists have begun to research solutions to develop "physique pills" capable of obtaining in whole or in part the same effects that the gym and training have on the body. Research published in the journal Trends in Pharmacological… Read more

The new “yellow threat” is called J31

J31

The arms race continues not so quietly: the eastern side of the planet is equipped with instruments that until now were the prerogative only of a few Western superpowers that can be counted on the finger of one hand. China is also perfecting an invisible aircraft: the Chinese Stealth J31 borrows a lot of the technology from the American F-35 jet. It is a twin-engine jet that has the same configuration as other 5th generation fighters such as the Sukhoi T-50. The trapezoidal wings and… Read more

Fight against a half obese and half hungry world: which side are you on?

5741c

The fight against waste in an increasingly crowded world immersed in a dense network of economic exchanges is a fundamental direction. Add to this the shortage of energy resources and the scarcity of food and we will have a future scenario that is truly difficult to face, unless we come up with an important idea, or we decide together to work on a better way of producing, consuming, even eating. . Every year, for one thing, almost a billion and a half is wasted... Read more

Laboratory-printed human tissues will render many animal tests unnecessary within 5 years

printed skin

Human tissues made with 3D printers could very soon save millions of lives: those of laboratory rats. More than three hundred million animals are killed every year in scientific laboratories and research centers around the world: they are mostly mice, rats and rabbits which are used to study vaccines and drugs to be tested in subsequent phases on humans: it is a sad (and sometimes necessary) reality that could soon be avoided. At Heriot Watt… Read more

Capturing energy from the wifi and converting it into electricity: a first device made

metamaterial power harvester

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

Studio Lazzarini, an Italian design group, recently presented a “mini yacht” at the annual sector fair in the Principality of Monaco. The Jet Capsule is a vessel 7 and a half meters long and 3 and a half meters wide: its small size and the enormous possibility of customization make it suitable for many applications such as taxi, patrol, ambulance. Lazzarini's "utility yacht" is single or twin-engined and accommodates up to 8 passengers with automatically closing doors, convertible bed, ... Read more

Print a house in less than a day.

3d printed house

One of the most promising fields of near-future technologies is that of 3D printing. We talked about it in this recent article with reference to food, and now we have the opportunity to admire 3D printers one and a half meters long, capable of building a 700 square meter house in 20 hours. The special construction process called CAD/CAM includes computer assistance for both the design and manufacturing parts. Entire housing units… 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 ...

All about the super job of the future

future work

I often jokingly hear friends say that to get (or keep) a job today you need superpowers (the most sexist and boorish ones in the case of pretty colleagues argue the need for other skills). The future is made up of many things, and an important theme is precisely that of human enhancement, the improvement of physical and mental performance that can arise from the use of new technologies or medical procedures: in this article I want to offer you some ideas to reflect on. … Read more

DARPin E2-79, is the beginning of the end for allergies

antiallergy

How stupid are allergies. Stupids. Our immune system becomes hysterical in reacting to external impulses and does so for no reason: an 'excess defense' which in the most serious cases can even lead to death. The so-called 'vaccines' currently on the market are only desensitizing treatments that actually act on the symptoms, nothing that eliminates the underlying cause once and for all. [highlight]Today a new molecule could succeed in the mission:[/highlight]its name is DARPin E2-79 and it comes… Read more

Tefina, Viagra Spray is here for you

tephine

Space research has often encountered rather serious problems when trying to reproduce the same conditions on Earth in the absence of gravity. One of the most insurmountable difficulties was that linked to 'space sex'. There is a whole series of cases on the subject: the results are not satisfactory. Looking at our planet can then make us understand that the problems related to sex are many and complex even without leaving our atmosphere. For men, erectile dysfunction, for women,... Read more

Tomorrow the Pepsi fat blocker debuts, and I don't feel very well.

pepsispecial thumb 550xauto 105030

The global diffusion of soft drinks has reached widespread figures: an entire part of the 'Western' world seems to drink more colored concoctions than water. The results are alarming, many research centers on the planet have already brought out the results of different studies, all of which agree in attributing negative effects on the organism. The reason? Carbon dioxide which upsets the stomach. A burst of sugars (about 9 teaspoons per can) or sweeteners (aspartame and acesulfame suspected of being carcinogenic). The dyes. A disaster, in short. And for … Read more

The mad rush of miniaturized health

A bionic leg guided by thought and chasing a record.

gambabionics1

Zac Vawter lost a leg in an accident 3 years ago and since then he has been through an ordeal looking for a prosthesis (he calls it a 'fake leg') which for him had satisfactory answers close to those of a real leg. So the thirty-one-year-old software engineer from Washington signed up in 2010 as a volunteer tester in a research program with the aim of creating a thought-guided bionic leg. The Rehabilitation Institute of the Medical Center… Read more

Connectomics – Building a map of the mind

There are approximately 100 billion neurons in the brain of an adult human, and each of these neurons is connected to hundreds of others for a total of approximately 150 billion connections in total. Neuroscience is discovering that it is the pattern of these connections, the structure of this immense neural network, that is largely responsible for the functionality of the brain, in other words for our mental life: everything we feel, think, experience or do. Our … Read more

Within 10 years, solar panels in orbit and clean energy on Earth.

solar orbit

Already heard it and does it sound like science fiction to you? According to the results of a 3-year study with 10 nations involved conducted by the International Academy of Astronautics, it could be a reality within 10 years. The biggest disadvantage of today's solar energy is that it doesn't work in the evening or when the sky is cloudy: in space, on the contrary, the Sun is present 24 hours a day, 24 days a week. No storms, no clouds. The obvious solution to the problem, therefore, is to move all PV capacity… Read more

Extraterrestrial life: the radio bubble hypothesis

where are they

The question was referring to the fact that it seemed strange to him that we were not receiving any extraterrestrial transmissions from space. If it is true that there are millions of planets similar to ours out there and if at least a small percentage of them have developed intelligent life, why don't we receive any radio transmissions? This inconsistency was later called the “Fermi Paradox”. It is clear that if intelligent life develops on a remote planet, once technological development has been reached, it will necessarily have to... Read more
