The app against Parkinson's disease is born

February 5 2016

Precisely today that Parkinson's disease has taken away Maurice White, founder and leader of Earth, Wind & Fire, we talk about how technology can help those suffering from this pathology. A team of British researchers is in fact experimenting with the use of an app to monitor the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, helping those who suffer from it in many ways. If at the beginning we thought that wearable devices were almost useless or just nice to look at, the introduction of parameter analysis… Read more

Energy from nuclear fusion less distant with the laser as hot as the sun

January 27 2017November 22, 2015

A team of scientists from Imperial College London has probably made the possibility of obtaining unlimited energy from nuclear fusion less distant thanks to a theoretical model of a laser that can develop 10 million degrees Celsius (probably a higher temperature than what is found to the center of the Sun) in 20 quadrillionths of a second: practically instantaneously. The development represents a step forward towards the dream of obtaining energy from thermonuclear fusion: a clean, sustainable and unlimited source… Read more

A study definitively proves that aging is reversible

January 27 2017November 20, 2015

A group of French scientists managed to restore the original functions of cells taken from over 1-year-old patients, reprogramming them and returning them to the stem cell stage: this is proof that the aging process can in fact be reversed.

Motobot: Yamaha has its automatic centaur

November 2, 2015

Directly from the Tokyo Motor Show 2015 one of the most attractive elements: a robot-centaur presented by Yamaha. Its name is Motobot: it is a concept being tested by the research and development department of the Japanese company. A device capable of driving an unmodified motorbike, currently at a speed of 120km per hour but expected to reach 200km per hour. The first bike 'ridden' by Motobot is a YZF-R1M.

Chemtrails against global warming? There are those who say yes

January 27 2017October 29, 2015

Always protagonists in the argumentative repertoire of curious people, independent analysers, scholars, conspiracy theorists and free thinkers, the famous "Chemtrails" could emerge from the literature of counter-information to become part of tangible reality. No longer a borderline theme, therefore, but a conscious human activity. What is it about? The scientific journal PNAS (relaunched instantly by the more widespread Popular Mechanics) published joint studies by American, Scandinavian and Chinese scientists based on scenarios that effectively constitute speculation on the opportunity to do ...

Climate project: Carrefour awards 7 companies

November 5, 2022October 26, 2015

Carrefour has started to look around among its suppliers (651) to identify the "greenest" companies that are ahead in adopting environmental sustainability policies. The company asked participants to present their projects, then evaluating them with the consultancy of Fedabo, a leading company in the sector, evaluating their innovative scope and producing a ranking: 7 virtuous companies, each for a reason. For Carrefour's sales and marketing director, Grégoire Kaufman, the process was natural: since 2011… Read more

Exacto, DARPA successfully tests remote-controlled bullets

October 19, 2015

The US military is testing an 'intelligent' projectile (do you have doubts about previous definitions of intelligence in relation to weapons? Me too) within a research program called EXACTO (EXtreme Accuracy Tasked Ordinance): in these tests ( started in February 2015 and announced two weeks ago) all participants were able to hit a moving target with absolute precision. As? The projectile benefits from a real-time laser guidance system that follows the target and corrects… Read more

Here is the gun for the disabled and elderly

October 17, 2015

The “defensive” (I laugh) Palm .38 SPL pistol, designed specifically for people with reduced muscular capacity, osteoporosis or rheumatoid arthritis, as well as for those suffering from degenerative diseases, arrives on the American market. Disabled and elderly people will be able to kill someone just like everyone else: a great achievement of civilization, right? The project is a long-standing one: for years the company had been trying to patent this device: the delay in approval for sale would have been due (this is nice) to the attempt to have it registered as...

North Dakota police will be able to arm their drones

October 10, 2015

In the American state, a law created to ensure that the police did not use weapons on drones has in fact led to a provision with the opposite effect: it will be possible to equip drones with Tasers, stun gas, pepper spray and all sorts of non-invasive weapons. lethal (if by “non-lethal” you mean something that killed 39 people last year). It is the first American state to legalize such a possibility, and not even doing it on purpose is there… Read more

The new “yellow threat” is called J31

October 10, 2015

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?

November 5, 2022April 28 2014

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

3 IT trends for 2014

November 8, 2013November 5, 2013

Not all predictions and predictions are long-term: after all, I have to give someone the chance to refute what I say. If the topic is 'IT', then, it will be even easier to prove me wrong given the extreme 'elasticity' of certain situations. Yet some trends in my opinion are traced, and I am pleased to arrange them here for future reference. Here are 3 IT trends for the coming year: 1. The Cloud will be the new hardware. – All major industrial changes… Read more

Found an insulin substitute that can be taken orally.

October 30, 20139 September 2013

The WHO estimates the number of diabetics in the world at around 285 million (last year's data): this is almost 6% of the adult population. This translates (for type 1 diabetics and for 27% of type 2 diabetics) into the obligation to take daily insulin injections, which are uncomfortable and annoying. For some time, researchers have been trying to develop a form of insulin to be taken orally: a difficult undertaking, given that this protein is literally destroyed by ... Read more

All about the super job of the future

December 26 2019April 2 2013

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

Tested a vaccine against synthetic drugs

November 14, 2013February 11 2013

When you hear about “Ice”, “Shaboo” or “Crystal Meth” you know that these are some of the most widespread synthetic drugs in the world, as well as the most dangerous. These are active ingredients all deriving from methamphetamine, a sympathomimetic that literally bombards the brain with dopamine. According to the United Nations Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention, there are as many as 25 million users and dependents on these substances worldwide. A team of scientists… Read more

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

July 10 2013January 30 2013

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

Christmas in times of crisis: technology and convenience

22 September 2022December 1 2012

The crisis is raging in Europe, and 'intelligent' purchases are gradually becoming prudent: even during the Christmas holidays, gifts will be given in the name of the best possible relationship between quality and price. It is not easy to navigate the thousands of offers that populate the shops and the internet: some good price comparison services can help us, and in this short note I want to talk to you about redcoon.it. It is a relatively new site on the scene, however founded by a group with ... Read more

Holland drops 5 axles for the motorway of the future

July 10 2013November 27, 2012

We often tend to think of innovations in the field of road safety as solutions limited to cars, but a team of Dutch designers makes us understand how the road itself can also play an active role. This gave rise to a series of interesting studies to make driving safer. The Glowing Lines concept takes inspiration from the lines of reflectors that can be found here and there on European motorways, but replaces the latter with a special luminescent paint in … Read more

Chiba, the robot chair that breaks down architectural barriers

November 14, 201318 September 2012

Creating a wheelchair capable of overcoming architectural barriers couldn't have been very simple: today a team of engineers from the Chiba Institute of Technology, led by the Associate Professor, succeeded in the feat using a good dose of lateral thinking. A wheelchair? It's difficult to define it this way: when it encounters an obstacle, Chiba transforms its wheels into... legs! It goes without saying: the wheel is a universal and efficient way to allow all people with limited mobility to travel. However, … Read more
