More and more houses are becoming intelligent: Applications for a computer-controlled home are on the advance and are increasingly finding a place in our society. While system applications from well-known manufacturers represent a major investment, modules that you can install yourself are already available at affordable prices. You can also find more intelligent applications and smart […]
In the future, we will have very fast computers, thanks to a new generation of magnetic memories with zero energy consumption, powered by light. The new devices, described in the journal Nature, could represent the heart of a new generation of energy-saving computers. The new devices were designed in the research conducted by the universities of Lancaster, […]
After the postcards of blue sunsets and sunsets from Mars sent by NASA’s InSight mission, the extraordinary videos of the clouds moving in the Martian atmosphere, sent by the Curiosity rover, arrive. NASA’s robot lab has filmed the clouds with its Navcam navigation cameras on May 7 and May 12, 2019. In the images the […]
TURIN – The control center of the Exomars 2020 mission was inaugurated in Turin, organized by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Russian Roscosmos. It is from here that the movements of the rover will be controlled which, with an Italian drill, will have to pierce the ground of Mars up to two meters deep […]
The old saying “we are dust of stars” has penetrated so deeply into our minds that we risk losing some of its poetry. Yes, elements heavier than hydrogen and helium in the earth’s environment have been forged by various ancient life cycles of generations of stars. Many of these cosmic furnaces have expelled their contents […]
Octopus, cuttlefish and squid have provided the inspiration for an innovative material, destined to become space blankets, “smart” clothes and much more: the particular characteristics of the skin of these sea creatures, in fact, have been exploited by researchers at the University from California to Irvine, to make a fabric that can regulate the body […]
The most complete archive of touch-based data available to future robots is ready. It was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Mit), storing in an artificial intelligence system the sensations recorded through gloves equipped with special sensors. The details of the archive, published in the magazine Nature, will allow to build robots with a […]
The old saying “we are stardust” is so penetrated into our mind that we risk losing part of his poetry. Yes, elements heavier than hydrogen and helium present in the terrestrial environment have been forged by various ancient life cycles of generations of stars. Many of these cosmic furnaces have expelled their contents into the void, polluting […]
Nobel Stoddart, useful for new materials, batteries and even in medicine A technological revolution equal to that brought about by the invention of the plane: this is what is being prepared thanks to molecular machines, the smallest machines in the world produced in the laboratory imitating those present in nature, even in the cells of […]
The hopes of rebuilding Notre Dame are not burned together with the historic cathedral: in 2015 an accurate 3D virtual copy accurate to the millimeter was made, thanks to a laser scan of the entire building that was saved in a digital archive. The work done by a group of historians who studied the architecture of […]
