New test to identify the coronavirus in China

The Chinese health authorities would have been able to identify seventy-seven cases of pneumonia linked to the "mysterious" coronovirus, still little known that worries the whole world, through the distribution of a kit containing a new test in the Wuhan city where the first infections occurred in a fish market. In the meantime more than four hundred cases have been reported around the globe and the death toll has increased to seventeen, then there are many unreported cases for example in Hong Kong and in many countries the level of attention has been raised especially at airports. This SARS-like coronavirus is transmitted from man to man and has probably already mutated and become a little more dangerous, but it could change further by accelerating its spread even if calculation models of the contamination are not yet available. The genetic sequence of coronavirus has been shared with various international organisations for appropriate research.

Cheaper carbon dioxide capture

Some public administrations would be willing to increase taxation on carbon dioxide emissions and this decision could make it cheaper to build plants to capture polluting emissions; in fact, until now in strictly economic terms (so regardless of the economic losses resulting from climate change) it was worth paying the related tax. For example Canadian researchers say one-third of global emissions come from industrial plants and by leveraging the characteristics of new materials identified with an algorithm it is possible to improve the efficiency of carbon dioxide capture technologies is possible making them more and more affordable, then other researchers are studying how to improve the yield of synthetic fuels obtained by adding CO2 captured with hydrogen. In theory a wide variety of chemical components could be used for this purpose to improve their efficiency.

Super controlled by the internet and cameras

When using the internet web for almost every address is type a large number of servers in various parts of the globe could control the operation of a page and its links that are automatically activated, then it is clear that there are too many calls to the giants of the web so much that even the founder of the world wide web seems to have said that immediate and mass action is needed, even through a special contract with appropriate regulations, to avoid the abuse of a few potentates on the internet web. Another problem to be addressed is that of the increasingly widespread surveillance with automatic cameras (almost all of them of Chinese production) and facial recognition programs carried out over the internet that poses strong questions about the privacy of users. Some say, perhaps for provocation, that from the amount of data from which large companies earn large sums even to the individual user would go a part of the dividend.

China targets coal as an energy resource

Despite statements by the Chinese authorities that they want to comply with the Paris Agreement on reducing polluting emissions, it seems that the country is focusing on coal as the main source of energy with almost one hundred and forty-eight gigawatts of capacity from new or existing plants, where energy production had been temporarily suspended even due to protests from environmentalists. Needless to say that it will not be possible to contain the rise in global temperatures by keeping coal-fired power stations running, then this China energy strategy which in practice triples the permitted limits on emissions is in contrast to the majority of other countries. It must be considered that even the eventual initiative of wanting to burn gas instead of coal to reduce pollution is not as effective as using renewable energies such as wind and photovoltaics.

Less polluting cruise ships

To meet the new, more restrictive regulations on sulphur emissions in navigation that will soon come into force and the needs of the market with tourists increasingly interested in travelling on modern ships, with less impact on the environment, many companies they would seem to be looking to usher in a kind of new era, for example, with hybrid solutions that, for example, use electricity to reduce consumption as well as a lower use of heavy oil as fuel (there are also those who want to eliminate it altogether, but most cargo ships will continue to use it). It must be considered that a ship remains anchored in port most of the time in the various stages of a journey and must switch from the use of heavy oil to marine diesel which means to have eighty percent less sulphur emissions and thirty percent less than fumes and particulates, but with emissions always very high compared to diesel fuel for cars; this should therefore be improved to prevent pollution from spreading to port cities. To note that Norway from 2026 will only allow entry into the fjords using electric mode.

Light bulbs that take advantage of heat passage

Thermoelectric generators take advantage of the switch of heat from a hot state to a colder state to generate electricity, and the researchers would have been able to develop a device that would turn on a LED light bulb at night, possibly even using accumulators, it takes advantage of the energy flow flowing from the ground heated by sunlight during the day to the coldest space at night. This technology basically works with a system as opposed to solar panels and shows that there are many innovative methods to take advantage of clean energy, then it could be useful in remote areas or for developing countries. It is worth noting changing the subject but remaining on technological issues that has been made public a film (they say reliable) showing an unidentified flying object apparently capable of flying at higher speed than that of detection normal sensors available on planes.

Most critics often complain that the 2007 acquisition of the main advertising click routing company in practice made a significant difference in the market. The investigations extend to a popular video-posting site, acquired in 2006 by the search engine, which uses among other data control technologies sophisticated algorithms partly based on artificial intelligence to analyze preferences users.

Making hydrogen without polluting

Hydrogen can be extracted from fossil fuel fields without releasing carbon dioxide and methane into the environment, at least according to Canadian researchers who argue that hydrogen if burned for example by self-traction or to obtain electricity does not produce pollution unlike normal fossil fuels. Currently most of the hydrogen is made from natural gas, but the extraction involves the release into the atmosphere of methane which is a very polluting greenhouse gas. The new technique, in fact, does not present substantial novelties with the only stratagem of not releasing CO2 into the atmosphere. It is worth noting changing the subject but remaining on topics concerning the fossil sources that the U.S. would intends to significantly increase the production of the so-called shale gas so as to constitute an obstacle with regard to initiatives aimed at reduction in polluting emissions.

Controls on technology changes on social media

The widespread use of advanced technology applications with social networks exposes the user to various risks despite being equipped with data encryption systems; in fact, it seems that, for example, a vulnerability in the external archives allows attackers to manipulate audio and images, so in practice if you send a photo of a face it could then be modified or an audio altered (by activating the protections you have limitation in sharing images to all users). Recently administrations have also fined a well-known large archive of videos for tracking the activities of children and young people in breach of regulations and checks are being carried out on the main technological players in the market responsible for having obstructing competition [then a big fine also for a well-known global social network]. Other problems arise from vulnerabilities in Wi-Fi transmission equipment that can be used illegally by computer experts.

Discussions about a new electronic currency

Following the announcement of the launch of a new electronic currency by a well-known social networks monopolist some, also given the presence of important partners who in practice support the initiative, have accused the big company of putting at risk the user privacy to facilitate the financial practices provided for the purchase of sponsored products. After all, there would already be a federal investigation into the social network precisely for violation of privacy and antitrust rules, along with other tech giants; it is also clear that they intend to hijack (and perhaps pilot) most of the e-commerce on the messaging and socialization platform. Moreover to the environmental problems caused by the large amount of energy required to encrypt electronic currency, there would be difficulties in the traceability of transactions by criminal organizations.

Technology production using rare earths

Each technological device contains within the so-called rare earths which are seventeen elements considered critical to their manufacture since for the time being no efficient substitutes are yet available and China is monopolist of the market producing more than ninety-five percent of these rare earths, the exploitation of which also involves accumulating toxic waste during mining and releasing potentially harmful radiation into the environment. Lately there would be friction between the United States and China regarding the production of communication networks, smartphones and other technology considered important for the security (with bans on use of American operating systems); but China in this case according to analysts would have strong control levers with the monopoly of the rare earths and in theory could stop the global production of many products such as automobiles, computers and airplanes.

Every record in the database (archive line) contained all the various personal data including private information that in cases that have already happened previously seems to have a market in electronic money. Lately there had also been a controversy [beyond the political interference] about the fact of how it was calculated that in only half a century the number of profiles of deceased persons enrolled in this main global social network could exceed that of the living members with consequent hypothesis of a kind of privatization of the shared memory, then the problem arises if there can also be an affective value to monetize the Internet market.

In current industrial processes to catalyze methane in methanol, a very high pressure and temperature higher than thirteen hundred degrees Celsius is required, but researchers would have discovered so-called metanotrophic bacteria capable at room temperature to make this catalytic reaction and without energy expenditure with the presence of copper ions. Since methane is a powerful greenhouse gas to be able to convert it easily into methanol to be used for example as automotive fuel and to generate electricity it could be a positive choice for the environment (even if not produce greenhouse gas effect is the best ecological choice).

Modules for air conditioners that capture CO2

It is possible to assemble accessories as special modules in the normal air conditioners already installed on the housing so that they can capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, at least according to a team of German-Canadian researchers; in fact these devices are designed to move large masses of air thanks to a large cooling fan that acts on a heat exchanger and then could integrate the conditioners with the typical function of the capture and conversion systems of carbon dioxide. Once catalyzed carbon and oxygen, maybe with the help of photovoltaic systems, we could combine them with hydrogen extracted from the water (always normally produced during the operation of the air conditioners) in order to obtain a simple liquid with presence of hydrocarbons to be stored and then transported in suitable treatment plants.

In order to make a real picture of the black hole, which has a mass millions or billions of times that of the Sun, should build a telescope of the size of the whole Earth, so it was necessary to use a trick. This is an important event because it is hypothesizes that black holes are responsible for the formation of the galaxies [and the life?] and without them the universe would probably be very different from what we see.

Prevent storms with bubbles from the sea bottom

Generally storms such as hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons occur when the surface of the sea reaches a temperature of twenty-six degrees and a half or higher and the warmer air of the overheated sea tends to rise to vortex along with that of the cyclonic formation increasing its destructive power over the territory in its path; so the researchers think trying to pump air bubbles from the sea bottom so abbasing the sea surface. This technique is already used in Norway, but with the opposite aim of preventing the formation of ice sheets in fjords that do not allow navigation; in fact in this case the bubbles pumped from the depth of the sea are of warmer air (with an inverse scenario for example to that of the Gulf of Mexico where the warmest water is on the surface and the colder one in the depths of the Ocean). Other previously attempted stratagems did not produce appreciable results.

The testimonies speak of a strange metallic noise and smoke on board, but the similarities with another case of airplane of the same model crashed after takeoff and request to be able to return to the airport of the pilots poses questions about the safety of the aircraft which has special features with very low wings that have forced to mount other engines than those originally planned, correcting a little the layout with the software.

Illegal sharing of data from a social network

Controversy continues regarding the use of user data of a well-known global social network; in fact after the event of the sale of personal data to a company specialized in advertising targeted mainly for electoral campaigns now would be evidence that the main manufacturers of smartphones have established agreements for the sharing of data between the various operating systems of mobile phones and the social network, but this type of collaboration is illegal because violates the personal privacy regulations.

In particular are now trying to understand how the data collected have been used by a large Chinese telephony manufacturer and whether the various agreements are still valid.

A lizard evolved at the time of the dinosaurs

The analysis with a micro CT and other sophisticated examinations of a fossil of lizard called "Megachirella" found on the mountain Pra della Vacca of the Dolomites would reveal that this reptile could be the missing link of a long evolutionary chain that includes all lizards and snakes, at least according to the opinion of a group of international researchers who claim that the fossil size of about eight centimeters (lacking of some reptile structures like the tail) would be the first discovered lizard being seventy-five million years older than similar fossils. It is hypothesized that this Megachirella has moved about two hundred and forty million years ago through a subtropical coastal environment covered by forests, what are now the Dolomites; then the Computer Tomography would reveal structures present only in lizards and other typical of reptiles, but now no longer present in the lizards.

Sheets of graphite obtained at low temperature

Carbon fibre objects are very expensive mainly because are produced at very high temperatures higher than two thousand and five hundred Celsius degrees and an international team of researchers would be able to obtain very thin sheets of graphite at low temperature below forty-five Celsius degrees, saving a lot of energy, which can be replaced carbon fiber ones used for example to assemble parts of aircraft, sports cars and various other always characterized by remarkable lightness and resistance. The researchers would have found inspiration by looking at the structure of the mother-of-pearl composed of tiny platelets aggregated in a microscopically figurative way to a wall of thin bricks built with mortar and then oxidizing the platelets of graphite and then scatter them in water in an opportune way to obtain at low temperature the thin sheet of graphene oxide.

Invasive sensors and artificial Intelligence

Who is already concerned about how invasive the current artificial intelligence can be can not imagine what awaits us in a near future from the combination of the use of various sensors with artificial intelligence; in fact some to make some examples warn that by dilation of the eyes is possible monitor how much the brain is engaged, from the heat that emanate the fingers assess the stress, from the values of carbon dioxide emitted by exhaling understand the shape state, microexpressions and the chemical components of the breath could reveal sensations, calculating time and pauses when talking evaluating the risk of dementia, and then understanding from brain waves also the attention posed by someone to objects in a room or if focused to a person. If these innovations are used with due attention they could make a significant contribution to improving many services, but an unregulated type of use is more likely.

Investigation on social network monopoly role

While still trying to figure out what was the real impact of a well-known social network on the opinions of users with numbers that still tend to increase if consider personal data that may have been provided by a news and information portal always belonging to the same owner, a new investigation investigates precisely the role of monopoly played by the network. Some have said that the answers to this have been evasive and perhaps also the questions asked have not sufficiently investigated the details of the data provided to a company which used them especially to influence the outcome of some elections (for example in favour of the Brexit and the of the actual American administration). In a world where technology is increasingly invasive and even food choices and purchases now tend to be made online one wonders how much a social network can influence every choice.

Have increased from fifty to eighty-seven million the users of a well-known American social network victims of the theft of personal data (especially in America, two hundred and fourteen thousand in Italy through an application installed); moreover, in the meantime some users have noticed how also the data relating to the calls made and received were plotted and as with the other applications installed without the knowledge of the customer in the user's profile it was possible to derive a complete picture to be submitted to the experts psychologists of an English company for analysis of data for example for targeted electoral campaigns. If try to delete the profile the social network that requires as a requirement an explanation seems that the actual cancellation will be active after six months, with the excuse of the possibility of rethinking, then in practice the data provided probably will remain in the backups of the servers of various companies connected to the network.

Make more accurate energy predictions

Last year the global production of photovoltaic energy would have for the first time surpassed with over four hundred gigawatts the nuclear power (over three hundred and fifty) demonstrating that the forecasts made previously by international organisations on growth of renewable energies were not sufficiently accurate, then since at the same time overestimating the role of nuclear the most critical argue that perhaps it was made more than anything else a choice of energy type. Good also the energy value obtained from the wind with more than fifty-two gigawatts obtained from plants installed last year about half of that obtained from solar, while much reduced was the one related to the nuclear whose installation costs are economically very heavy when compared with renewables without considering the problem of where to store radioactive waste also because obviously no one wants them.

Another thing to report is the one that happened at Tempe in Arizona that relates to the fatal investment caused by a car that travelled in automatic driving mode to the detriment of a woman crossing the road despite for safety was present the pilot behind the steering wheel; evidently a serious flaw for the technological automated software driving the car although apparently it was crossing (in bicycle ?) out of the pedestrian strips.

An innovative method to get the hydrogen

Usually for the production of hydrogen in large quantities to charge the batteries to fuel cells that do not have pollutant emissions it must exploit however natural gas and fossil fuels which have a heavy impact on the environment; but it is possible to avoid this damaging passage by exploiting the properties of a protein present in egg whites to derive hydrogen from water with a laboratory technique, at least according to a study carried out by Japanese researchers who would use the proteins present in white egg to build crystals with many tiny cavities to trap the very mobile molecules and immobilize them (a kind of control of their traffic that improves the efficiency in the production process). Hydrogen is now exploited for many uses and in China it is also thought to build a "hydrogen city" in Wuhan in the central Hubei province.

Warnings on risky virtual currencies

Continues the descent of the value of a note virtual currency accused of being polluting and low financial transparency that now is worth less than a third compared to the remarkable peak reached six weeks ago, perhaps a speculative bubble fueled by speculators, with the warning that could lose another fifty percent of the residual value. Recently in India a system has been started to detect illicit activities on payment systems with the intention in practice of taking all the measures to eliminate the encrypted currencies while in Japan the exchange of virtual currency has been raided after the case of a record theft of hackers to the detriment of a type of virtual currency of the country. The financial authorities in Europe and America have declared concern about trade and want to stop purchases of virtual money in addition to the loss of investor confidence in the crypto currency.

Artificial intelligence advantages and dangers

The development of the technological systems endowed with artificial intelligence proceeds quickly thanks to the generous funding coming from, for example the managers of a well-known search engine who have been driven to declare how the artificial intelligence is for the humanity most important of fire and electricity; decisive in this rapid advancement also the investment on companies that have developed the learning machines software. For some time there has been a heated debate on artificial intelligence; in fact if on the one hand it might be useful to find solutions to deal with climate change and new type therapies against cancers on the other side could soon present the danger that machines begin to take autonomous important decisions on the fate of the planet by escaping from human control. The proof that this can happen has already been verified among systems that have developed a their own language of communication.

Safety assessments on flaw microprocessors

Coping with the new threat of security caused by a flaw in most processors that equip computers in the globe seems more difficult than expected because even if the updates to the operating systems have already been prepared it seems that there some antivirus is incompatible or it happens that the system in rare cases becomes unstable; moreover since the vulnerability is in a process designed to optimize the performance of the processor some seem to decide not to install the updates to not have problems of slowdown of the various processes with the risk of worsening the security situation in specific cases. According to the manufacturers of microprocessors is very difficult exploiting this flaw to read in the memory passwords or sensitive data in domestic computers and are more at risk online cloud systems, then in theory also many programs should be appropriately changed.

Some economic analysts then warn that the use of electronic money is not sustainable for the environment and that currently the amount of energy absorbed to encrypt the currency, become in practice official although very volatile and at risk of speculative collapse, is higher than that consumed by Ireland; moreover we are very late about the use of renewable energies two years after the approval of the Paris agreement on the reduction of polluting emissions with devastating effects on the environment.

Intersection of currents observed under Antarctica

A possible model of how heat currents are transported into the depths of Antarctica and the role of the ocean in the carbon cycle would have been observed using submarine drones (also called gliders); in fact the researchers have seen in a period of eight months as the intersections of strong currents with those generated by the slope of masses that hold to rise into the oceanic seabed lead to a remarkable reshuffling of the waters in the areas south of the ocean. Previously the observations of this type were limited to the surface of the oceans, so the possibility of measuring temperatures, salinity, nutrient quantities and other variables up to a depth of about one thousand meters has detected the importance of continental topography in the reshuffling of the water and allows to carry out simulations about the changes in the circulation of ocean currents both of the past and of the future.

Imitate butterflies wings for photovoltaic panels

The efficiency of photovoltaic panels has always been very low and at the time of their invention over sixty years ago they were able to convert only one or two percent of sunlight into electricity and this percentage gradually climbed up to reach lately about the twenty percent, but this means that still can't convert the eighty percent of the potential of solar rays for this the researchers think to imitate the structure of the wings of the butterflies to increase the usable surface of photovoltaic cells. Experiments of this type to increase the yield have already been attempted in the past with good results but in this case the improvement would be remarkable; in fact the surface of the dark black wings of the Pachliopta aristolochiae when examined with a powerful microscope appear as a kind of sponge with small holes that allow the passage of light and be better absorbed by the moths.

Perhaps having to face a crossover with vehicles without a pilot can put in trouble (it is already difficult normally) and it could also happen for absurd that disorientated the incident occurs between two vehicles with driver while the one without pilot continues its path not having detected detecting any collision.

Now the models of planes currently available are inadequate to extinguish fires since the flames devour in a very short time vast areas of vegetation without the time to act quickly even using fleets with numerous aircraft, then sometimes it is also difficult to find spare parts.

The Netherlands for the particular geographical position is considered to be advanced in adapting to climate change; in fact a quarter of the country is below sea level and about half is just one metre above with a rather flat conformation in general that makes it particularly vulnerable to any flooding.

Renewables developed with exponential rates

The standards adopted for reducing polluting emissions are not sufficiently incisive to slow climate change with less than thirty percent chance they can reach the result then according to some should be given greater impetus to renewable energy and develop them with exponential rates imitating, in figured manner as was the line on a chart, what happened with the computing power of computers. In practice we should reduce the emissions from forty to twenty gigatons of carbon dioxide by 2020 to 2030, then further reduce to ten tons for the 2040 until reaching five tons for 2050, bearing in mind the different percentage of development in various countries around the globe to achieve the goal of the zero emissions. This strategy could help to limit global warming to two degrees Celsius by 2050 with resulting climate benefits.

Many rightly cite the Norway as the home of electric cars with over a hundred thousand cars circulating and lately there has also been an overall increase in the sale of these models (EV) considered environmentally friendly with China in the lead in the ranking of manufacturers and with countries such as Bolivia that already do the accounts of future earnings due to exports of a mineral which has vast gas fields such as the lithium indispensable in making rechargeable batteries; but some say that this technology is not yet developed enough, then the charging process is not very environmentally friendly from moments that gases emanate from the batteries. Another factor to consider is the entire supply chain that allows the charging of car; in fact if we burn coal and other fossil fuels to power plants that then feed the supply columns there are the risk only to move the pollution from the cities to other places.

Turning carbon dioxide into common objects

Instead of capturing and storing the carbon dioxide with special plants some suggest that it is a very stable molecule could seek to use it by adding it to other chemical components for the manufacture of commercial objects; for example to reduce the need for composite materials to make cement materials increased strength and also a whole range of products such as biofuels and even toothpaste (the problem is the large amount of energy needed for these transformations as shown by several studies that highlight how it is in any case better to reduce the emissions). It is necessary that these products are convenient and easy to find in the supply chain because this solution is truly achievable, then to resolve the complexity of this problem will need to take advantage of the more advanced possibilities of different technologies now available.

Polluting cars and with unsafe airbags

Continuing investigations of diesel vehicles that fail to meet emission standards using technological tricks to overcome the trials of tests on rollers, but in normal driving conditions especially in cities where the speed of the vehicle is little regular requiring frequent departures, braking or deceleration make in short time the air unbreathable and foul-smelling; then, recently showed that an airbags manufacturer uses a chemical component (ammonium nitrate) for flash inflating airbag in case of accident that can be deteriorate causing it to rupture. Apparently this manufacturer of air bag was preferred for economic reasons even if the automakers were aware of the security issue, so much so that in one case happened in 2009 after verifying the damage caused by the defective airbag was declared that from a security protection had become some kind of weapon.

At thirty-nine light years seven Earth-like planets

There might be water in the seven new planets orbiting a small ultra-cool star discovery initially in may 2016 in our galaxy to thirty-nine light years from Earth and defined by astronomers quite similar to our planet and therefore potentially some of them might harbour life considering the appropriate dimensions, mass, distance from the star from that depends the temperature although further studies are needed to confirm these data. The star would have a mass that is only eight percent of our Sun and the size of Jupiter and the planets orbit within touching distance, for example in figured manner about inside the orbit of Mercury, and perhaps they originated in more distant orbits and then have migrated closer to the star with a face blocked that rotating always looks the small and slightly luminous star as a face of our Moon that always looks at the Earth.

Wind powered pumps for to ice the Arctic

To encourage the formation of new layers of ice in the Arctic according to researchers could pump water at high pressure by exploiting the power of the wind and reach with this ruse a thickness of about one meter per decade; should work in theory even if it is more an expensive provocation to warn of the alarming situation concerning the melting of the ice of the Arctic and that the real solution is to intervene at the root, reduce the carbon dioxide emissions (in addition to those of the other greenhouse gases). Without that the ice can reflect the sun's rays are resulted of ever wider areas of overheating in a cycle that tends to feed on itself and now the decidedly abnormal temperatures monitored have reached up to thirty Celsius degree peaks higher than normal. The transition to renewable energy is another technological proposal that could be really achieved.

A netbook for an easy mobility navigation

To make possible an easy Internet navigation on mobility situation plus the ability to take advantage of writing programs and any other commonly used applications a major Korean company in 2007 presented the first "netbook" with seven-inch screen, a small keyboard, just less a kilo of weight, with reduced consumption that ensured greater autonomy than a notebook and then suitable to be easily carried and used even if with some limitations to performance level. This miniature computer not being equipped with DVD drive exploited the possibilities become almost normal in those days to download programs from the Internet or use them directly on the net (with some difficulty for the reduced graphics), then later models that were launched in the following year by all manufacturers were fitted with larger screens and more memory and storage capacity. - [In the 1968 was presented the mouse, dialog windows and hypertexts almost an informatic revolution].

Technological devices to curb consumption

A whole series of technological devices, so-called "smart" could be adopted in many areas of application for protecting the environment with simple precautions such as automatically adjusting temperatures in different environments according to the individual needs while simultaneously improving air quality with special filters, changing the lighting and avoid light pollution, optimising water consumption by adapting opportunely the jets and flow; then in hybrid cars by improving the efficiency of energy recovery systems for charging batteries and modulating simultaneously the fuel consumption. Changing the subject but remaining on environmental protection issues to report that an Australian study conducted on simulated climate models would have highlighted how important it is to understand the dynamics of the biogeochemical processes that take place in the oceans.

Light and shadow on investments on renewables

After reaching record levels in 2015 Global investments on farms would be lowered to an eighteen percent in 2016 in part to a drop in price of photovoltaic panels that are becoming increasingly affordable. Much also depends on the fact that typically the plants exploiting renewable energy in the world enjoy substantial subsidies and for many large projects has decided to cover the investment by leveraging existing energy, then sometimes they look for market stratagems in order to exploit the full potential of renewables; but in some cases such as in some developing countries the funds were not enough. Instead the 2016 would be an enough good year about investment on the so-called offshore wind power (with varied depending on the country) that now can take advantage of larger turbines and better construction techniques.

The Norway switching off the analogue FM radio

Two million cars in Norway are not yet equipped with digital receivers and next week gradually by the end of the year will no longer pick up the classic analog signal because this country is about to become the first to put an end to broadcasts in frequency modulation. Other countries could do the same decision such as Switzerland by 2020 and some point out that in Norway can no longer hear any emergency messages broadcast on FM and that many are not yet ready to change the digital radio or to buy a DAB adapter. A radio receiver usually has a receiving antenna tuned on a frequency a selective detector and an amplifier circuit and in the case of DAB by a digital receiving with the advantage of being able to pick up the station identification signals and messages as well as ensuring better listening.

An European directive which came into force in 2012 that involves the installation of an automatic braking system for trucks over three tons and half would allow the truck rolled through the crowd to a Christmas market used to the Berlin attack to stop automatically after seventy meters allowing to save many lives; in fact the sensors placed on the truck by detecting an obstacle triggered a warning in the cabin and then have independently operated the brakes. Modern trucks in addition to traditional systems that detect if the wheels are locked (for example on the ice or gravel) by modulating the brakes often have a system that operates at the same time on different axles brakes allowing greater control of braking, because hydraulic systems have some delay especially if the vehicle is very long.

It is possible to control the drone equipped with defibrillator flying at about one hundred kilometers per hour both at a distance and with an autopilot based on GPS by providing a map for interventions. These drones are used in many sectors (sometimes questionable) and may also be useful for transporting medicines and medical devices in areas difficult to reach.

The last European probe of the project designed to take soil samples and search for life forms, which cost overall one billion and half of euros, apparently crashed badly to the ground and does not emit any kind of signal. The latest comments on the visible universe are providing a new picture of the Cosmo; in fact it is assumed that there are ten times more galaxies than previously thought and a majority of them are too weak and too far to be seen by us. Must keep in mind that ninety percent of the galaxies have not yet been studied.

Finding a replacement for hydrofluorocarbons

After the decision to progressively reduce the hydrofluorocarbons apparently remains the problem of finding a replacement to ensure a really ecological efficient refrigeration; in fact HFCs were introduced in 1990 as replacements for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) to comply with the Montreal Protocol of 1987 with the objective of avoiding ozone hole enlargement, from the moment that these gases used in refrigerators, air conditioners and other cooling equipment were accused of fostering this phenomenon, but replaced HFCs are powerful greenhouse gases. It is estimated that there is an increasing use of HFCs at a rate of ten to fifteen percent a year mainly due to increased use of air conditioners, so should try using other solutions to foster refrigeration such as for example ammonia, propane or using various type of innovative technologies.

According to researchers does not seem to observe the bones of two thousand years ago and it is rare to find a skeleton at sea since the human remains are usually eaten by fish or dispersed over the time, then in this case the remains are well preserved and include part of the skull, two bones of the arms, several ribs and two femurs. This shipwreck was already famous in the last century for the so-called Antikythera mechanism, a kind of astronomical calculator with many gears and cogs, then there were statues, works of art and other skeletons, but DNA testing was not yet available.

Each phase was documented photographically and shared with the seven hundred social network users, but the girl of Carinthia had specifically requested parents to delete the photos already when he was eleven years old (in 2009) without it being taken very seriously so much to force her to threaten to bring the matter to court. This affair may have consequences on legislations in Europe, however it is better not to post photos on social networks.

Making an observation of pyroclastic density current or pyroclastic flow in the internal structure of the volcano New Zealand researchers said they were able to proceed to a better prediction of devastating eruptions responsible in these cases of fifty percent of victims and threaten the lives of half a billion people around the globe. Generally an example of the destructive potential of these eruptions remembers the one that occurred in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii and the study used a simulator of eruptions with a camera to high speed and sensors to detect the data that would have identified three currents in the pyroclastic flow and then one more than is thought previously. In practice the two main currents meet in a middle turbulent zone where gaseous particles, pumice and gas cloud form the destructive pyroclastic flow.

It is possible to trap the pollutant gases from the exhaust gas of cars and transform the coal into ink, thus avoiding that ends in the lungs of citizens, without interfering with the normal operation of the engine using an electromechanical device developed by an Indian researcher of Bangalore who works for a well-known American institute for technology. In practice is proceed to mix the coals with various vegetable oils after it is purified by various heavy metals and carcinogens that are present in the exhaust gas to get an oil-based paint similar to other existing and for example will take thirty to forty minutes of operation of a diesel engine to get the ink of a pen. In two months by exhaust gas of trucks, cars, chimneys and fishing boats appears to have been possible to have one hundred and fifty liters of ink also useful to reload printer cartridges.

A planet orbiting around Proxima Centauri

Only four light years from our solar system there would be according to astronomers a rocky planet that might have a temperature suitable to allow the liquid state of water rotating at a distance of about seven million kilometres from Proxima Centauri, the star closest to us as the name suggests; but classified as a red dwarf and then burning at a low temperature so the water not cools to the point of becoming ice and not is heated until it becomes steam. It must also have an atmosphere to deflect UV rays considered one hundred times more intensity than those that hit the Earth and researchers still do not know whether it is present or can be formed, however the proximity of the star makes possible explorations with probes. Now there is speculation that in the Milky Way Galaxy there are billions of planets adapted to life though probably too far away to be reached.

Capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by converting it into fuel is a chemical process not only possible but already carried out on a small scale, what is lacking is the technology to do so at great levels that are also useful for combating climate change, at least according to a study by Canadian and Chinese researchers who are trying to achieve this in part by improving proven techniques. One of the major problems to be overcome is the large amount of energy it takes to make the water in a kind of slow electrolysis of the CO2 to get carbon monoxide which then will be combined with hydrogen to produce a synthetic diesel fuel type; but in theory using energy from the Sun is possible get around it, then using electrodes that take advantage of nanotechnology the conversion speed increases significantly even if not yet to appropriate levels.

Using a very simple technique to apply to the current server hardware can make them up to nine times more efficient, at least according to Australian researchers who have managed to increase the management capacity of a large data center of twenty five percent by improving the efficiency of the data manipulated. In practice the servers remain waiting to develop the data entered by users to perform various searches, but this capacity can be better managed; in fact most of this type of operation is performed by the computer processor at very high frequencies, so taking advantage of this processing power with better optimization of server operating systems could reduce the energy impact of all data centres. Already in the past had been calculated how much could save on electricity by improving for example the cooling of the servers.

This is a safe technique since there isn't a danger that the gas such as for example with an earthquake escape from underground having been turned permanently in chalk, then the basaltic rock is very common and therefore potentially suitable for making large CO2 deposits.

Using the data collected by the Hubble space telescope and the Keck telescope in Hawaii, astronomers would get a measurement of the expansion of the universe that is think should be rather precise finding that traditional theories do not coincide and indeed something does not explain an expansion more accelerated by five to nine percent of expected against the calculations above. Perhaps the general theory of relativity which is the basis of the Standard Model is slightly incorrect, or there may be features in the structure of the universe yet unknown, for example is assume the existence of another subatomic particle or the influence of the so-called dark matter that drives and accelerates the expansion over the 13.8 billion-years history of the universe. The explanation might also be in a different conception of the universe or some kind of deception of our vision.

It is estimated that worldwide are eight million persons employed in these areas increasingly in demand for the drop of the prices that has enabled emerging countries such as Mauritania, Honduras, Uruguay and Jamaica to focus on renewables perhaps pushed by the damage caused by climate change. Some sectors like transport, heating and cooling systems continue to resist to the ecological change in part now for the low cost of oil.

Although in some countries have been given clear indications from the European public opinion about the development of atomic power stations, apparently the community Union authorities would be willing to invest on nuclear power to defend the technological achievements attained in this sector, aiming to realize minireactors for use no later than 2030. In fact as shown by several studies it is more expensive than technologies that use renewable energy, considering also the high cost to dismantle the installations at the end of life and the difficulty of finding suitable locations to store the radioactive waste; then remains the unknown factor of danger due to unforeseen events. Europe had been the first to invest in renewable energy but this effort went over time waned and now the Asian countries are far ahead in research and development of these technologies that are more sustainable for the planet.

An early model of phone type smartphone

In 1996 he launched the first pocket phone with also the main functions of a computer, and then with much more advanced features which was later called smartphone. Were not far apart the times in which nearly had to be ashamed of having a cell phone and probably the attitude was no different for the innovative "Communicator" smartphone a vanguard product of a famous Finnish company, a kind of telephony giant by a couple of years almost disappeared from the market. Initially the smartphone was a bit bulky and heavy, but it was quickly replaced by models becoming lighter, thinner, with fast processors that can compete as performance with computers. To report changing the subject that Italy recalls that have passed thirty years since the first Arpanet link (not public) which was later joined by the Internet Protocol now widespread even on telephony.

Better not to teach anything to computers

To prevent robots and artificial intelligence in the near future replace humans in all activities it would be best to avoid using those devices such as wireless sensors applied to clothes to teach computers to learn human movements by sending signals via WiFi or Bluetooth, considering that the next step would be to teach the machine to mimic human type sensations and emotions. Already were shown videos of a robot that can run in a forest remaining in balance even in the snow, then the technology has passed the stage of those machines sniffers that sometimes make smile, then we know that recently the artificial intelligence has managed to beat the man even in the Chinese strategy game Go and as far as the outward appearance is not hard to put a face of human type to the machine in addition to hands and feet very similar.

A new star with a full oxygen atmosphere

A really unusual celestial body with full oxygen atmosphere would have been detected by astronomers in Brazil and Germany by analyzing data collected by a special telescope that scrutinizes the universe (SDSS in New Mexico) able to observe the thirty-five percent of the sky and about five hundred million celestial objects. This is a star that is no longer active for a long time where the gravitational pull has grown attracting heavier elements and gases like oxygen while lighter like helium and hydrogen have left floating on the surface, so basically the atmosphere of the star is almost entirely composed of compressed oxygen so that it has a mass equivalent to sixty percent of our Sun being slightly larger size of the Earth. Needless to say that is not an appropriate atmosphere to human survival due to the enormous pressure that would crush instantly an hypothetical astronaut.

Take force investments in renewable energy

Would grow five percent the investment in renewable energy last year mainly due to Asian countries; moreover the renewable technology installations (except for large hydro-electric projects) in 2015 exceed those traditional more polluting and so it's a transition unthinkable only ten years ago. Some argue that there are still strong contradictions such as the stage not quite positive of Europe who first had launched renewables, then there are doubts about how to feed the entire production of so-called "green" energy considering the unexpected collapse of the price of fossil fuels; however remain the tendency to take advantage of new technology. Another environmental aid could come from better management, partly technological, of farms that are the second polluting factor after that energetic.

Found lead in Herculaneum papyri ink

Using the synchrotron technology that emits X-rays one hundred billion times brighter than a common X-ray equipment researchers would be able to detect the presence of metals such as lead in the ink in the papyri from the excavations of Herculaneum and dating from 79 AD when the eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried the city under a thick layer of volcanic material; so if this discovery is confirmed, it means that we must anticipate approximately of four centuries the use of metals in the composition of the ink. Before found in papyri high levels of lead in general it was thought that the ink was simply carbon-based, then with the synchrotron can also read partially the text without destroying the fragile papyrus. To note that was the ancient Phoenician writing the first tested just to be written with ink on Papyrus or pieces called òstraka.

Questions about artificial intelligence and computer

After the defeat suffered by four games to one by a Chinese master of the strategy game Go against a computer program have further reduced the hopes of mankind to keep under control the artificial intelligence of the computer although some have argued that this machine could do nothing of play this particular ancient Chinese game and unable to do anything outside of what had been programmed to do. Actually there are replicating algorithms for decades that exploit the so-called "crossover" computer functions that if properly planned can simulate any type of calculation; then, when turn on a computer or other similar equipment should be aware that we cannot be a control of the machine. Just make a game of chess against the computer to see what is the danger to mankind.

Reduce the pollution generated by aircraft

The aviation industry is growing so much that using apposite internet sites is possible check how many aircraft in the sky at all times and make sure that there are about fifteen hundred up to ten thousand planes during periods when tourist trips are more frequent, so it is a great harm to the environment since air travel are highly polluting and measurable in more than fourteen percent of greenhouse gas emissions every year. Half a million people are now in flight with a aircraft that emits a very high amount of carbon dioxide and apparently there are no regulations requiring airlines to a limit on emissions. In addition to producing more efficient aircraft that consume less fuel is possible plan trips in order to limit emissions, perhaps with some inconvenience and wasted of time, but often with benefits on price.

Few available statistics on Africa

At a time when the global and individual data travel on web highways and are available on all computers connected to the internet, so much so that they multiply the questions on personal safety and privacy, many African countries apparently do not have their own statistical data because it costs too much to do surveys, research on the living conditions of the population, analysis on labour and its economic possibilities; so evidently are unreliable important projections made by the authorities that have limited financial resources also for the technologies necessary to make various statistical calculations. In past studies, perhaps based on the partial data available, suggested an increase in demand for energy resources and technology in Africa due to the high birth rate, while many are still hoping to develop solar and wind in these countries favored by geographical location.

Thankfully there were no wagons young students, who were on holiday for Carnival-related festive season, otherwise the balance of the accident could be more severe. so among the various proposals for how to fix the security situation there is even talk of a technological modernization of the existing system installed.

Better manage emissions for diesel cars

Keep real emission controls on diesel car this time focused on a French vehicle manufacturing industry after the discovery of tricks and not real data taken from a big German company, revealing other irregularities in particular regarding the NOx (nitrogen oxide) on some models because of a defective engine processor and the software that manages the exauste gas filter so much so that thousands of vehicles will be recalled; but the affair are highlighting that usually emissions are much higher than those allowed by EU directives. It seems from other surveys that a popular minivan have NOx twenty five times beyond the limits if use more realistic driving style, instead of making measurements on rollers, and other models of this manufacturer would often cited for not respecting the limits. An updated software will be assembled by this industry on the latest generation of diesel.

Found in the Ötzi stomach the Heliobacter pylori

Using genome analysis could be found in the stomach of the mummy of Ötzi traces of aggressive bacterium Heliobacter pylori, discovered in 1983 and known to cause ulcers and stomach cancer; but the strain found is endemic in Central and South Asia, so the researchers say the so-called Similaun man may have been a migrant and not a typical inhabitant of the Alps. Is proceeded to analyze the DNA of the entire contents of the stomach of the Mummy that dates back about five thousand and three hundred years ago, then had to decrypt with computer the bacterium that can be found in several varieties in half the world's population. We know that Ötzi (name derived from Ötzal of the Tyrolean Alps) was killed, since it was an arrowhead lodged in the shoulders, then the analysis of the body showed he had some dental caries, Lyme disease and was also lactose intolerant.

Lack of interest for renewable energies

The energy global demand is growing rapidly due to increasing world population and particularly for the expansion of the generally defined middle class, that have high energy requirements, at least according to the market forecasts of the sector international experts done until 2040, with fossil fuel that will continue to dominate the scene with a percentage grater than seventy-seven percent; then is evident the authorities lack of interest for renewable energies. Apparently the gas with about twenty-eight percent will be preferred, then the oil with twenty-five (quantifiable in over eighteen million barrels per day by 2040) and finally the coal with twenty-four percent. Needless to say that with these data the global worming will increase despite the renewable technology by now is available at low prices.

New calculations on the ice of Greenland

The previous estimates on the melting of ice in Greenland were done on computer models, but comparing aerial photographs from 1980 until 2010 Dutch researchers could recalculate actual data that show the ice mass loss quantities and as the phenomenon is more serious than expected; for example if until 2003 the loss each year was about seventy-five gigatons, then switched to over one hundred eighty-six and therefore has almost tripled. This new data might be useful to recalculate the various estimates on computer programs in addition to those of the rising sea; in fact since 1900 at least twenty-five millimeters would be due only to this melting that did not fit in the equations. The areas most affected by the phenomenon are subjected to the influence of the Gulf stream and the temperature is three degrees Celsius higher than at the beginning of the last century.

This prediction model is less sophisticated than that used for official calculations, but it seems to be more direct, based on historical temperatures and emissions data, without those opacity typical of complex computer programs. Estimates vary depending on the impact of climate change, but it is still clear that swift and decisive action is needed to try to minimize the damage resulting.

Technological control of landfills and their emissions

Landfills produce large amounts of greenhouse gases such as the effect of the bacteria that decompose each piece of food thrown by emitting methane, a gas twenty-five times more dangerous for the environment than carbon dioxide which is often taken as a benchmark to calculate the negative effect of emissions; then, according to British researchers is possible to use for their two hundred country's landfills an experimental drone equipped with special sensors to monitor the gases given off by the waste. It is estimated that of the approximately eight hundred thirty thousand tons of methane emissions from landfills, are able to retrieve only part with pipes that convey the gas to storage into small power plants, but a not quantified ends in the atmosphere and is necessary knowledge of the problem besides informing people what it's like to throw also little food in the dumpster.

Evening mode for smartphones and tablets

During the evening hours the body begins to produce melatonin, a regulator hormone of the biological clock rhythm that leads from wakefulness to sleep and then helps to fall asleep; but if is using a smartphone, a tablet or another illuminated e-reader in the evening may hinder this mechanism for cause of the light that hits the face while is watching and reading, and some suggest that these devices should automatically decrease brightness (with some sort of evening mode already set). The new models have large screens very bright and this is positive for the daylight hours allowing to read comfortably, but negative in the evenings especially for children and teenagers; then the high contrast level is provided by LEDs that emit wavelengths with a kind of blue-green colors that tend to stimulate the body to the activities.

New method of carbon dioxide capturing

One of the defects of the so-called CCS plants of capture and storage of carbon dioxide is the large amount of energy required to make them to operate making them economically expensive, but a researcher in Poland would have developed a mobile technology that can absorb and then store one thousand kilograms of CO2 per day from the emissions of a coal-fired central in this country saving a lot of energy. In tests carried out for fife hundred and fifty hours by connecting the mobile capture plant to exhaust chimneys of the coal-fired central was used as a monoethanolamine base solvent to capture over ninety percent of carbon dioxide and then nineteen thousand kilograms of carbon dioxide corresponding to one thousand kilograms per day. To note, changing the subject, that in New Zealand there would be considerable interest in the development of new technologies that allow them to cut emissions.

Unexpected oxygen on Comet 67P

Molecular oxygen would be incorporated into the Comet called 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko during its formation, at least according to the statements of experts who are monitoring the data taken by the Rosetta probe that orbits the comet. This is an interesting finding because oxygen tends to mix easily with other elements and so the fact that it was possible to locate it raises questions about the theories on the formation of the solar system. In the comets in general apparently there are unexpected complex molecules (as long as they are not false positives) that probably favored in a first phase the appearance of life on Earth.

In addition to this technique, which also allows easier transport on ships in the case of the so-called offshore wind farms located in the sea, has been used only two blades instead of three for to rotate the turbines lightening overall structures and their steel poles that can be packaged into smaller production plants. Other proposals submitted previously by use of poles without wind turbines that harness the oscillations caused by wind for have energy.

The statements about the discovery of a distant planet from us one thousand and four hundred light years away that would be similar to the Earth rotating around a star at a similar distance and about with the same amount of time (about twenty days plus) would seem premature since it is not yet known the mass, parameter critical to understanding whether this celestial body can be rocky or of gas, then also in the case of identical conditions which would allow life must don't forget that probably have to match a wide range of chemical and physical factors that make our planet a very special case. The distances might say "fortunately" not allow to the technology currently available even to send a probe, then it is not very clear the stability that in the Earth is made possible by the action of the motion of the Moon satellites and in part from the other planets.

There are also less favourable forecasts of who considers too slow moving to cleaner technologies and then we will have to evaluate the consistency of hidden oil fields beneath the polar ice caps that are quickly becoming accessible for melting ice and appears that to have already begun a race exploitation comparable to the first previously oil era.

South Wales authorities have announced a project for the construction of the first plant for the production of electricity using tidal waves on the lagoon of Swansea Bay, which should generate by 2022 two hundred and forty megawatts of power enough to provide electricity for one hundred twenty thousand homes, in order to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to the development of the zone both to economic level and also with new jobs, so much to speak of a new era and almost a kind of revolution against climate change. It involves the construction of six such plants, four in Wales, one in Somerset and one in Cumbria (England) that use the weight of the water pushed by the tides to power the turbines; in practice through large bulkheads with a system that captures and conveys the water that enters and leaves twice a day due to the tidal waves.

Security of the Internet connection in aircraft

Is probably possible change the parameters of a passenger plane flight not only with a computer but also equipping a smartphone with a specific application, such as those that hackers use to force protection systems or something similar, to do in the worst scenarios that the aircraft crashes to the ground; then some warn that we need to improve the security of network connections installed on planes to prevent cyberattacks. Research done in the past had shown that even the vulnerable computer systems mounted on cars can be altered by attackers such as causing braking system malfunctions or in the electrical power and this security consideration applies to any Wi-Fi device connected to the network that can be easily controlled with a smatphone remotely.

Excessive production of technological waste

Each year the world produces about forty-two million tonnes of technological waste and this poses a threat both to the environment and to human health because often these waste is not disposed properly; then it is planned that this species of mountain made of old TVs, refrigerators, various household appliances is destined to rise inexorably with the risk to be disposed without any precautions and criterion in developing countries, for example to retrieve copper and other precious metals. Despite being illegal the export of technological waste this market continues undisturbed and constitutes a resource for thousands of people in countries like Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, China, India, Pakistan and Ghana; but it also involves a large environmental pollution and then globally cannot be counterproductive with much higher costs to revenue.

Telluric movements detected by satellite in Nepal

While dig to search for other survivors of the devastating 7.9 magnitude earthquake that a week ago has rocked Nepal causing six thousand six hundred victims and with estimates of fifteen the satellite would have detected other telluric movements and there are fears for tremors; moreover previously satellite measurements of the Kathmandu area monitored a lift of about one meter. Communications are still congested, and among the many who did not manage to contact there are also one thousand European citizens missing the appeal, whereas it is a period of intense trekking tourism on Mt. Everest or Langtang region. Difficult situation for the population in Nepal deprived of everything, and also for supplying essential excavators to move the rubble and is talk about the inefficiency of the authorities to handle the emergency with three million people in search of food.

Electric cars promoted in Norway

Would be fifty thousand electric vehicles registered in Norway, country particularly attentive to encourage purchasing with initiatives such as the free municipal stations charging and using the bus-only lanes in addition to various fiscal incentives. The Norway is ranked first in the world for per capita attendance of electric vehicles and this year among the cars sold twenty per cent belonged to this category of vehicles that some call "eco friendly"; moreover there is a growing interest and a further increase is expected. To note that if are not using renewable energy sources and solar panels to recharge electric vehicles can only move the pollution from the cities to the environment by burning fossil fuels although air will surely be more breathable in the roads. In theory the optimal solution is a package that includes solar panels and electric cars.

Promising flexible batteries with aluminum cathode

Lithium ion batteries even if are studying technologies to improve efficiency have some risk of flammability (in rare cases burst) so that there are prohibitions of use for air travel, so researchers have developed a battery with flexible casing that resists mistreatment filled with special liquid salts where the positive pole or cathode consists of an aluminium electrode and the negative or anode from a sort graphite foam. Is a technology still in the first stage of development featuring unknowns with regard to large-scale production, but promising and economic that allowing recharge in less than a minute, safer and more durable than lithium ion batteries even if for the moment the voltage provided is about half; moreover these batteries can be used with flexible screens for mobile devices.

Graphene for improved DNA sequencing

To make faster and more effective the DNA sequencing can use a derivative of carbon as the graphene, at least for a study carried out by researchers in Australia. Graphene is a product of graphite discovered in 2004 with a hexagonal structure honeycomb type, actually fairly common use; in fact the writing part of pencils is made of graphite and sometimes happen to leave only one very thin layer sheet of the thickness of a single atom that is made of graphene. DNA analysis is performed to identify the sequence of essential constituents are the bases cytosine, guanine, adenine and thymine; therefore making them an analysis look through a graphene based electrical sensor it would push through a single molecule of DNA. In practice each nucleobases influence the electronic structure of graphene and this can be measured each time in a different way.

Black box useful to investigations for plane crashed

The recordings taken from an environmental microphone in the cockpit of the Airbus crashed in the mountains of Provence and recovered in the so-called black box, which is actually orange to make easier the finding, would have revealed that at the time of the disaster there was only one pilot in the cabin that had closed armoured door making impossible to reach the command to the other pilot during aircraft loss of altitude lasting eight minutes. The assumption is an extreme deliberate act [for a psychosis of the co-pilot] however is excluded that there has been an explosion on board, then it seems that the route is correct and that the plane had not had any problems although experts claim that the investigations could last months. The last communication with the control tower appears to have been of normal route confirmation, but after a minute began the crowds down until the crash in the Alps.

Partial eclipse of Sun in Europe

Equipping of special glasses or better shielded from welder can watch today from Italy and across Europe at about half past ten a partial eclipse covering well over half of the solar disk, but it will be total in Faroa Islands and Svalbard archipelago in Norway (Arctic Ocean). Eclipses of the Sun are more frequent than those of Moon though not exceed never the five in a year and this number depends on the angle of inclination of the lunar orbit relative to the ecliptic, if the two celestial bodies they were on the same level there would be an Eclipse of the Sun at every junction and then every new moon. Experts argue that the eclipse might be useful to study the performance of photovoltaic panels in the absence of partial irradiation of the Sun, whereas the last Eclipse of this magnitude was in 1999 when they were still a few panels installed and with low energy efficiency.

Agricultural sensors to coping the desertification

For coping with drought that affecting increasingly large areas of the planet could be useful to install a network of monitoring sensors for various crops in order to be able to intervene in case of lack of water intake and prevent the desertification, whereas this phenomenon can destroy all life since when it is no longer possible to make agriculture the population tends to return to farming and animals seek and eat all the vegetation that remains, then the extreme weather events end up completely dry up the land (to revitalize the humus it takes decades). For some time the most advanced techniques applied to agriculture use monitoring systems that also allow to optimize the resources, then in this way is also possible to intervene in time and prevent parasites, pathogens and other plant diseases that will spread.

Double duration for lithium ion batteries

Replacing the conventional cathode containing phosphates with a structure that leverages nanotechnology silicate you can more than double the capacity of lithium-ion batteries, at least according to a study conducted by researchers from Singapore and Canada who claim that these new batteries could make it possible to obtain high performance for a large number of common devices such as smartphones usage, computers, tablets, medical devices and electric cars. The battery life for example is one of the reasons that are hindering the use of electric cars, which for the moment are exploitable in practice only on public paths given the low autonomy (excluding the electric-hybrid), and by the time we study long-term systems of long energy storage and instead for the recharge can already use for plugs touch equipment.

Futuristic navigation for sails heavy transport

Is it possible to use the sails and then the wind to push large cargo ships reducing of an eighty percent the polluting emissions, at least according to a futuristic study carried out in Norway that anticipates a law whereby by 2020 the marine fuel must have a very low percentage of sulphur, since its use combined with the action of fossil fuels oppresses the oceans and the populations of crabs and shrimps, with a consequent increase in costs that could make competitive other energy solutions. Some claim that boost with the sails cannot be competitive and speed is too low for the current needs in which approximately ninety percent of heavy loads in the world travels on large ships, but the goal is possible by using computer programs that calculate the routes, the wave height and better exploit of wind, hydrodynamics and aerodynamics.

The microspheres consist of a nanomaterial of the fullerene molecular group that do not become thicker the cables since this factor will affect the implementation and already now are difficult to handle; moreover engineers are willing to test this method on high voltage cables that transmit direct current which apparently is more efficient than alternating on very long distances.

Solar energy rising and lower production costs

Solar energy costs are coming down gradually and in some areas of the globe is cheaper to produce energy from the Sun than that produced using the derived from processing of oil, gas, coal and nuclear power; so much so that sales of photovoltaic solar modules in 2014 grew a twenty percent, and then is expect a further improvement in the coming years to achieve by 2020 a four percent of global energy needs from solar panels. It seems that one of the problems to be overcome is the unfair practice to economic level of China that would undermine the other manufacturer of photovoltaic solar modules with various incentives in order to dominate the world market selling at prices below cost (considering also the components). Keep in mind that Italy could take advantage in cost/production thanks of the natural favorable condition from good exposure to the Sun.

Ecodesign for always-connected devices

A series of energy-saving measures should be adopted for electronic devices always connected to the internet to comply with European Union regulations laid down for the new year; in fact the actions of so-called "eco-design" will reduce carbon dioxide emissions as well as improving the competitiveness of products and then for example the Smart TV and other gadgets that consume up to one hundred watts, while asleep when the devices are not used, will automatically shut down. Energy consumption labels of technological devices will have to be improved and other products such as gas ovens must inform their consumption, since in this case the best ovens can save during their lifetime a large amount of energy. The measures are also intended to simple household appliances like vacuum cleaners (manufacturers encourage consumers with false powers in watts that are just more noise) and coffee machines with uninsulated jug that will shut down after forty minutes since the last brewing cycle.

To cope with the damage caused by climate change from the rise of the global temperature that according to the predictions of the computers models are destined to rise by four degrees in the coming decades there are different proposals, sometimes imaginative and with unpredictable effects on the ambience, such as mimic the action of volcanoes by spraying at high altitudes shielding particle with aircraft and absorb the carbon dioxide with future artificial trees or inject aerosols over the ice of the Arctic to prevent the merger or as an English study a combination of different solutions. We need to evaluate before making changes to the climate even with new technologies that could affect billions of people whether it is more appropriate to intervene or let the temperatures continue to rise uncontrollably, but the knowledge in this field are still too limited.

Have however to consider that for example there are traditional manual brush that capture fine dust without consuming energy, but in the case of many electrical devices of wide use the efficiency is greatly increased and sometimes consume one-tenth in comparison to similar devices of a decade ago, then now there are labels to show clearly the power consumption.

In practice, an algorithm modifies the intensity of light of the pixel using the computer to correct various vision problems of those who use the tablet instead of using corrective lenses, this also allows to avoid the use of contact lenses in individuals who have irregularities on the cornea with consequent difficulty to wear them, and in the future with flexible displays will be possible to adapt this system to other non-invasive devices.

City with low environmental impact in Japan

The Japanese authorities would be willing to develop plans for the so-called "smart city" with low environmental impact to ensure a proper residential comfort paying attention to various factors such as the energy aspect, security, mobility and health status of the population; then is think at a later stage also reduce emissions of carbon dioxide of a seventy percent and thirty percent of the consumption of water and energy that should come from renewable sources. The temperature of over thirty degrees Celsius and high humidity achieved in these summer days in Japan has prompted the government to do the usual appeal to citizens to make every effort to limit energy consumption since after the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plants were turned off, but in the future the homes should be equipped with solar panels and batteries interconnected.

Emotional social networks experiments

In response to complaints from some users of a well-known social networks about the ethics of experiments to test whether it is possible to make a kind of emotional contagion, in practice manipulating the algorithm that automatically manages the news delivered in such a way as to appear on the computer a greater number of negative news, the company that operates globally announced that the experiment carried out in 2012 lasted only a week and would have occurred in these cases the tendency to communicate more negative news. The mood of seven hundred thousand people involved in the experiment without their knowledge would have altered and this shows how it is possible to easily make a kind of massive infection. It should be noted that research carried out in the past on the ability of manipulation of the mass-media have highlighted how the mood can be dependent on the type and quality of the information provided.

An helmet to diagnose stroke patients

If an individual has suffered a stroke due to the rupture of a blood vessel in the brain or by a blood clot that obstructs the regular flow of blood takes several hours for the transport in specialized care units and diagnose the damage with a computed tomography scan, therefore Swedish researchers have decided to use a kind of bicycle helmet that emits the microwaves of the same type as those of the ovens and cell phones (of weaker intensity) to speed up the diagnosis and be able to give patients the best chance of a cure and avoid the risk that would be irretrievably damaged brain tissue. With this portable equipment that is still in experimental stage will be possible to proceed at the diagnosis directly in the ambulance, since it is crucial to intervene as early as possible in the event of a stroke and immediately provide first aid to face any suffering brain.

New simple models of household robots

That of robotics is an interesting area from the point of view for example of the assistance to the elderly or people with some disabilities (although some already glimpsed the threat of a world dominated by machines) and in Japan they put on the market a little robot programmed in order to decipher human emotions, recognize various shades of voice over that smiling and gesturing with his arms gently and robotic hands. This white robot with big doll eyes up a little over hundred and twenty centimeters and twenty-eight kilograms moves on wheels with sensors to detect obstacles at the base and has a display mounted on the chest and the classic WiFi and Ethernet connections that allow using microphones, cameras and sensors to interact with the user. In the tests and practical demonstrations, the robot seems to have interaction a bit slow and a little fluid language.

Aligning gene sequences as a computer game

Instead of games full of violent scenes or various monsters of Canadian researchers have developed a kind of game for boys to align with the view to composing with the computer using mouse or touchpad, as if they were pieces of a puzzle, genetic sequences identifying mutations that can cause cancer or other types of disorders in humans and then proceed to catalog them in a database and in this way to analyze discover the architecture that is behind these changes. In practice it comes to moving the letters A, G, C, T of the genetic code, insert or delete parts of genetic code that have been previously colored and shaped in different forms with opportune joints and finding the right alignments that allow them to be assembled, and to perform this complicated work the human eye is very good since it is like solving a puzzle.

Caution of mobile phones and tablets use for kids

Little is known about the impact of technologies of wireless equipment on cognitive abilities and reasoning, memory and attention of the kids; then according to international organizations, research in this field should be a priority and since in children the brain is still developing and therefore more sensitive than adults to the action of technological wireless devices such as mobile phones or smartphones and tablets it is preferable to use them with caution also if there is no real evidence of their negative effect. The diffusion of mobile phones and tablets is much increased in boys and this coincides especially in certain phases of their age, such as during the transition to high school, and parents should be evaluated (possibly by controlling also the levels of absorption) in the absence of reliable information of these products on their proper use.

Apparently Fritz Haber (Breslau 1868 - 1934 Basel) was a scientist enthusiastic about the war and during the battle of Ypres fought with aggressive chemicals watched at a safe distance with satisfaction the seizure of the soldiers who fell to the ground, then he was also awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1918 thanks to his ammonia studies. In 1933 he was forced to emigrate to Switzerland for anti-Semitic laws.

New small planet in the Solar System

With a four-meter telescope in Chile has identified a new planet very small (about four hundred and fifty kilometers across), far from the Sun, reddish, and so frozen that his consistency could be harder than that of a terrestrial rock, tentatively called 2012 VP113, but astronomers warn that the observation window is very small and examined hundreds of celestial bodies in orbit around the Solar System waiting to be seen, some of which probably larger than Pluto or perhaps even larger than Mars and the Earth itself. In its highly eccentric orbit of this dwarf planet is not close more than twelve billion kilometers from the Sun and the point farthest distance increases dramatically until sixty-seven billion kilometers from our star employing four thousand years to complete one full orbit around the Sun.

The demand for energy in China is always remarkable and consumption per person in urban areas is three times higher than in rural areas, so should avoid a sprawling urbanization as is happening also in India, since it is expected that China and India will consume by 2030 half of the entire global oil production.

Valuable characteristics of aluminum

Because of the tendency to oxidize the aluminum has never been used for the production of useful structures to harness solar energy, but the researchers found that this metal quite abundant in nature has nanoparticles with optical resonances that can cover a more large area of the spectrum than many more expensive metals such as gold and silver that are widely used in the field and then being able to overcome the obstacle of oxidation it can be used on large areas in an economical way. The same color of the nanoparticles of pure aluminum apparently mainly depends on the oxidation state as well as by the size and shape, then the structure of the metal is weakened by exposure to the air that forms a hard oxide layer at the microscopic level of few nanometers, so understanding the characteristics of the metal will be able to take advantage of the remarkable quantum mechanical effect.

To calculate the distances is evaluated the shift of red color (redshift) of the spectral lines of the celestial bodies examined, taking into account the cosmic background radiation, since a hot gas of photons remains of a primitive big explosion fills the universe.

Propylene identified on the satellite Titan

A chemical component of plastic type such as propylene very present in normal life on earth as it is used (refined in polyethylene) for common food containers in the kitchen would have been detected by the Cassini spacecraft using one infrared spectrometer on Titan, a satellite of Saturn, whose atmosphere is composed of hydrocarbons and methane in a special measure and then nitrogen. The action of the sun and its ultraviolet rays combined with particles pushed strongly by the magnetic field of Saturn break down methane and probably the fragments aggregate into larger molecules such as in this case with three carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms to a chemical ingredient plastic rather special. In 1655 Huygens discovered Titan that has an orbital period of 15.9 days around Saturn, and in the past has been also identified a kind of reflective continent under the atmosphere that surrounds it.

Most of the causes that caused small mutations that then favored the formation of tumors were unknown, apart the damage to the DNA of cigarette smoke and ultraviolet rays, but now British researchers have identified twenty-one significant genetic mutations responsible for the majority of tumors and that during the life of the organism trigger those conditions which in some cases result in the uncontrolled growth of malignant cells. These studies are part of the genetic mapping of the cancers that have identified these particular patterns that identify the mechanisms that cause abnormal responses in the early stages of the organism, for example in the case of viral infections classes of enzymes would be activated to stop the progress of the infection, but this same protection intervention could result in minor genetic modifications which then would favor the formation of tumors.

Telescopic contact lens

People who have weak vision due to macular degeneration fail to recognize distinctly the details of vision due to damage to areas of the retina that can also lead to blindness especially in elderly people, and researchers to improve their eyesight for example in recognizing a face would have developed contact lenses which in combination with special spectacles allow significant enlargements of details. By activating the polarized filters mounted in the spectacles can enable or disable the telescopic function, and with micro mirrors can adjust the amount of light directed onto the retina after being passed by the contact lens just over a millimeter thick. One of the most difficult stages in developing the prototype of telescopic contact lens has been to ensure the smooth passage of air to the eye that has been guaranteed with micro ducts (type gas permeable lenses).

The first computers with Ethernet protocols

One of the most common protocols for communication networks to local processing, and therefore limited as potential extension, such as Ethernet was first implemented in 1973 on the computer using coaxial cables, taking advantage from experiments in Hawaii in the seventies years for a radio network that would allow communications between the islands in a project called Alohanet. It is a connection system simple and low cost in which the main nodes transmit to the nodes of recipients without there being a control device, with the information sent if the communication channel is free, divided into packets that contain addresses both of the registered holder that the message recipient thanks to an algorithm that detects the packet collisions. In the event of a collision of packets sent in the same instant, the communication will be retried after a random interval automatically managed.

Send an e-mail address is in terms of technology like sending a postcard visible to anyone who wants to read it without there being a minimum of confidentiality, then if is use a mobile phone or a smart phone conversations can be easily intercepted including all data sent with the applications, regardless that automatic updates of the device are apparently become paid as if they were a normal internet connection (and it is also difficult to see the abnormal consumption credit). Despite these flaws of the new technologies, which can be met in case is want to keep private communication using special encryption programs and tools anti interception, it is worth mentioning the usefulness of being able to establish a contact with all the globe, inquire with greater freedom at a low price or make requests for help in the case of mobile phone if you find yourself in trouble.

Studies on a comet passed close to the Sun

The solar atmosphere and its magnetic field have been studied only with computer models since the satellites sent man would melt from the heat of the sun, then would not even be visible to the intense sunlight, but analyzing the data and images obtained by telescopes of a comet discovered in 2011 and has remained intact in the solar corona (although after a couple of days the celestial body made of ice has melted), the researchers would be able to get information about the solar atmosphere and the magnetic field that would not have been possible to get in any other way. The brightness of the comet "Lovejoy" has increased a lot closer to the Sun and so with temperatures of millions of degrees Celsius and then its tail suffered as some interference, almost a kind of dance, because of strong solar magnetic field giving the possibility to the first time to understand some of its characteristics.

Systems with GPS sensors to calculate the tsunamis

GPS sensors positioned on the coastlines of countries where it is most frequently the possibility of tsunamis and subsequent high high waves might be useful to give faster and more accurately alert the population, whereas in these cases the seconds are also important, at least from what appears to be a German study that analyzed data on the deformation of the coastal areas can reconstruct the origin of the tsunami and accurately calculate its magnitude going up to the subduction zone in the sea. In the case for example of the tsunami that hit Japan in 2011 with this technology would be possible to raise the alarm before and calculating that it was a magnitude much greater than that detected by the traditional system, but it is noted that it is also necessary to provide the territory of repeaters alarm, while the earth continues to shake even recently (without damage).

Data relating to the H7N9 virus published online

In order to effectively monitor the progress of infection by avian flu virus H7N9 health authorities suggest that the new cases are published quickly online also to check that there can be no evidence of possible infection from man to man, in the meantime the cases of confirmed infection have risen to one hundred and twenty-nine and thirty-one would be the victims, but it would still isolated cases. The last two cases of infection have been reported in the southeast China in the coastal Fujian province and ten provinces would be affected by cases of infection with forty individuals hospitalized. Examining the virus genetically researchers speculate that it may result from at least four avian flu viruses, one of which comes from ducks in the region of the Yangtze, then by migratory birds passing through the country and after an intermediate step between them until to get to domestic poultry.

Problems with an electrical panel on Fukushima

Due to the failure of a switchboard control panel in the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant the cooling pools that contain the atomic fuel rods to cool remained without electricity (from Monday morning), but engineers have advised that temperatures monitored are well below danger levels and there would be no problem for a few days while searching for the cause of the fault. - [21/03 the switchboard maybe damaged by a rat has been restored]. In case are unable to solve the problem will proceed with a backup system of water injection to maintain the temperatures within the sixty five degrees Celsius and for the moment the temperature of the warmer pool is approximately thirty degrees. From the technological point of view usually water is used natural also to cool the reactors, since it has excellent characteristics as a moderator, but at the same time the defect of a high capacity to absorb neutrons.

Hypothesis about the origin of the universe

Analyzing the data collected from the "Planck" satellite astrophysicists have designed a kind of map color of the background radiation, like a picture of the universe as a child, with much greater precision than in the past and have suggested that there may be other theory as well as that of the big-bang (13.8 billion years ago) such as a cyclic universe or the clash of two universe at the origin of the great energy that then the time has turned on matter and then atoms (from the galaxies, stars, planets up to living creatures). Our expertise is currently too limited to have a complete picture of the issue, but a few more details obtained by other studies can venture the hypothesis that there may be billions of universes and therefore the possibility that they may collide or merge freeing increasingly large amounts of energy which remains a weak detectable trace.

A thin film photovoltaics for mobile phones

With three years of studies carried out by a French company has been possible to develop a prototype mobile phone with a thin and economic photovoltaics film to place on the screen to allow two minutes of battery life with about ten minutes of exposure to sunlight (solution useful for example in the case of emergency calls), but for a full charge takes six hours for the researchers this technology would be most appropriate to increase the autonomy with intensive applications that demand a lot of energy. In Africa, where only forty percent of the country has electricity supply this power system and solar charging could be very useful given the widespread use of mobile phones among the population and the ability to easily take advantage of a good exposure to the sun. This technology is also applicable to other types of electronic equipment of wide use.

These manuscripts are a compendium of human knowledge written in beautiful handwriting and finely decorated and are therefore considered as a World Heritage and comparative for importance to some ancient texts of the most important historical documents, being able to document achievements even scientific, medical, economic as well as illustrate historical events, political and cultural. The technology now provides valuable tools to digitize texts allowing to easily store them on optical media and avoid the wear of the books with the time.

This type of technology converts two-dimensional images of computerized tomography images in three dimensions and allows also to plan the best way possible treatments, surgical or with radiotherapy to be taken in these cases. Other types of surveys always to three dimensions are used to display images of pills to swallow (large as a multivitamin pill) that contain micro cameras that for example allow to avoid the use of endoscopes.

The first microprocessors for computers

The microchips were obtained by sectioning a single crystal silicon of a cylindrical shape as a "wafer" into many thin slices and then dividing them into many very small chips and in 1972 were developed early microprocessors to eight bits, permitting a processing of blocks with a length of eight binary digits, and therefore more suitable for use in computers than four bits for a year equipped calculators and other electronic devices can count on more than two thousand transistors on a silicon plate of about three to four millimeters. The computer architecture has remained substantially in the time always the same as that of the first gigantic and expensive valve processors with data taken from the memories and calculated in the central unit, but the power and speed of calculation is increased enormously so as to allow each type use more or less useful and positive, which forces to continuous updates.

Technology for the flight and for the driving

The sophisticated instruments on board the aircraft for a flight allows almost an "automatic drive" without the intervention of the pilots, however if some sensor is not working properly we must return to maneuver the aircraft in full manual mode, but often seems that the drivers are no longer able to perform classic maneuvers in case of emergency. These considerations were related to the behavior of the pilots of a flight of a French company in 2009 crashed into the sea as a result of inaccurate measurements of the speed sensors in the cockpit that would affect the flight instruments with false directions, but the pilots apparently did not were able to fly manually. The technology that allows automatic guidance in the near future could also be adopted by cars with features that allow to cut the polluting emissions thanks also to smaller and lighter models.

Considerations on the discovery of the Higgs boson

Shortly after the denial that the neutrino can be faster than light comes the "epochal" discovery of the Higgs boson, but this time there would be the confirmation of the presence of this kind of field that generates the mass of all particles fundamental that aggregate the Higgs boson to gain weight, a little as would happen with small pieces of absorbent paper (of different size and thickness) that permeate of the ink when they are placed at his touch. This ingredient of the standard model, that all matter consists of quarks and leptons, it is important for understanding the structure of the universe although some argued for some time that it is not clear if the Higgs boson may or may not have a mass since if was obtained from the its same field inferred that the relative calculations on the size of the universe would reduce it to the dimension of a ball game. [2015 - already is hypothesized the presence of another particle].

Voice analyzed with algorithms for Parkinson's

Using a computerized electronic system able to learn gradually through the analysis of the audio track with algorithms based on listening to the voice of patients with healthy or disturbing factors that modified the voice and PD patients were unable to find in the eighty-six percent of cases, individuals suffering from the debilitating Parkinson's disease. The analysis allows to distinguish the cases in which the voice has changed from a simple cold, from surgery on vocal chords, or as occurs in heavy smokers, moreover is useful not only to locate the tremor of the voice characteristic of Parkinson's patients since that this system can also be used to analyze the first symptoms of the disease. This technology could be useful for example in cases where want to see any improvement after the use of medicines showing the progress in specific treatments.

Put in orbit a powerful new telescope

A very powerful telescope that can observe the electromagnetic spectrum to high energy X-rays with details of the sky about a hundred times more accurate than traditional tools was put in orbit, and with this latest technology will be able to peer into the center of the galaxy, then try to give an explanation for such phenomena as the explosion of stars and cosmic rays. Recently Japanese astronomers have recently discovered a galaxy far nearly thirteen billion light years of using telescopes in Hawaii, which add to those observations made in 2010 with the Hubble Space Telescope, and that would tend to confirm the so-called big bang theory that the universe would be "originated" by an explosion over thirteen billion light years ago, so now the research is approaching what is considered a limit, even though by now suggests that there may be other universes.

Transit of Venus on the Sun

It was once believed that there were two planets instead of Venus for the oscillation characteristics for the viewer to follow the Sun after sunset and to precede first that to arise, and the 06/06 morning it should be possible to observe from some areas of Italy (equipped with cameras or with filters very dark on the eyes) while passes over the solar disc as a dark dot, at least in its final phase if the weather conditions permit. Venus is the second planet in the solar system and is in average one hundred and seven million kilometers from the sun around which it rotates with a period of two hundred forty-four days, while the distance from Earth varies from 258 to 42 million kilometers, the alignment between the Sun and Venus, Earth has already occurred for example in 1874, 1882, 2004, but due to the mutual inclinations of the orbital planes of intersection of the lines also vary with more or less precise alignments during the transits.

Powered solar airplane in transcontinental flight

Solar panels mounted on the wings of a meter wide sixty-three experimental airplane in flight from Switzerland to Spain have allowed the aircraft to exceed the Pyrenees before landing in Madrid, whereas the mountain range that separates France from Spain for a prototype for this type of technology is a kind of challenge, and in the narrow cabin of the pilot will not miss a parachute (other than for "good luck"). The plane is headed to Morocco on the occasion of the preparations on the design of a solar energy system of two thousand megawatts that will be ready for 2020 to demonstrate progress in the exploitation of solar energy. Despite some difficulties with the clouds, the plane has already demonstrated in 2010 to fly for twenty-six consecutive hours also with the lack of sun with the power reserve stored in the batteries connected to the twelve thousand solar cells mounted on the wings.

Identification by fingerprints of the ears

The footprints left by the thieves of the ears on the doors to hear if they can make some theft seems to be useful in the investigation as the fingerprints, and a thief in Germany seems to have been captured analyzing the imprint of his ears in the places where it carried a few shots a little as if they were those of the fingers. At the Paris physician Alphonse Bertillon (1853-1914) must be credited with having invented a method of identification through fingerprints said precisely "bertillonnage", at least in a scientific manner on a statistical basis, and analyze every trace of material left in place for such a crime is always important to have some clues to identify the culprit, and to this by now often is used computerized analysis tools that can also extract and rebuild the DNA from organic fragments with high reliability compared to the past.

Hypotheses to the study of microbes on Mars

Proceeding to the reanalysis of the 1976 Viking Mars mission data that had called "lifeless" on the red planet with modern technology scientists speculate that microbes could be present in soil samples collected by the probe, which then were killed by mistake exposing them to a temperature of one hundred and sixty degrees Celsius, and the confirmation derives from the comparison with the recent methane emissions found on the planet that are considered to be compatible for the survival of some forms of life. Regarding the forthcoming investigations on the Martian surface to wait until August to analyze samples taken from a new probe even though it had already been hypothesized that the type of acid and alkaline soil was suitable for particular crops, but this consideration should not suggest that the cold red planet is a place suitable for human life since it would require a large number of guards.

Infrared and a mini submarine to probe a gas leak

To be able to detect a gas leak in the deep sea in the North Sea at about four thousand meters deep and scrutinize the extent of damage in the pipes leading to a platform at two hundred and forty kilometers to the east coast of Scotland was also prepared a remote controlled mini submarine, then using an infrared camera designed to capture images that can document the gas leak was possible to verify the state of danger of the situation. The platform had already been evacuated by the staff for the danger of an explosion, but by the time the gases are dispersed into the environment and therefore should not be a risk to form a sort of cloud of gas resulting in a large explosion and engineers are studying a quick fix to stop the high pressure leak by injecting cement otherwise it will take months for achieve the result.

Mexico relies on nuclear power despite Fukushima

A clear interest in the development of nuclear technology in Mexico dates back to 1956 with the establishment of a special commission for the exploitation of atomic energy, and despite the serious accident of Fukushima (recently there was also a loss of coolant at low radioactivity, this time at the village of Tokay) authorities appear intent to increase a few beyond the actual five percent the share of electricity from nuclear power plants in addition to improving the service management in the distribution grid to the population. In February 2007 the Mexico have signed an agreement to modify or install new turbines and generators in the plant at Laguna Verde, with significant technological improvements; another country interested in increasing the number of nuclear power seems is the India and aims to leverage its deposits of a "poor" type of nuclear fuel work it with complex procedures.

Solar activity on the rise

Expected for about a week, the peaks of solar activity with intensity "G-3", but so far have been recorded only minor geomagnetic storms and solar eruptions on the solar surface that practically did not have any effect on the earth (at least compared to the dangers posed of any disturbances on electrical equipment), except for the intense and spectacular borealis auroras. Solar activity is expected to reach its peak next year with a natural cycle of eleven years and it is possible that there may be strong storms "G-5" that can cause widespread electrical blackouts and to communications technologies to the ground, difficulty to manage high-flying and serious problems of interference to space stations. There not should still be particular difficulties and in the past the damage was mainly due to economic issues or difficulties to restart the computer systems such as for example forcing a reset in the space.

The program machine despite its versatility and the favor of the public not said much about the market and its patent was sold abroad for a large sum from a known industry manufacturer of typewriters, calculators and then computers. This option will not allow the subsequent development of the programs calculators technology and this branch was indeed at one point virtually abandoned and Italy went from being the native country of the desktop computer to an importer of calculators.

In societies accustomed to working with technological equipment in some cases the population is required to heat the snow on the fireplace to get some heat and water, while telephones and computers are off unable to recharge the batteries (although if in theory for example, there are solar chargers).

Taking advantage of the wide difference in temperature between the water to about twenty-five degrees Celsius in large quantities pumped from the sea surface and that goes back at least a kilometer deep with temperatures around five degrees is possible to obtain electricity at costs enough limited, considering the continuing increases in oil prices and the rest is a technology developed in 1970's to deal with a previous oil crisis. To power the gas turbines is enough to vaporize a fluid (eg ammonium) with a low boiling point in a heat exchanger first cooled with water pumped from the deep sea, and then heated with sea water of the surface and then repeat the cycle. These technologies and equipment are already available, but suitable for small power plants since needed very large pipes to get also one hundred megawatts of power.

The French reactors would be built in part due to the oil crisis of the 1970s, but the situation seems not much improved since the effect of international tensions, the price of oil is back above share one hundred dollars per barrel and also beyond (with the gasoline in Italy at an altitude of 1.8 euros, consequently also of excise duties), and many attempts have been made in the time to develop energy technologies that could replace the use of oil, perhaps due to the low price still widely used.

The evacuation order for the citizens seem to be limited to a generic hurry up and run away with no information of where to take shelter and exposing people to radioactive fallout, which affected areas that were identified in the simulations, while the staff who worked in the atomic plant believed that the cooling systems of reactors one and three were working while they were out of order.

In the Durban conference to facilitate the fulfillment of appropriate measures to safeguard the environment and mitigate the effects of climate change has been set up a technology center to monitor the various values of the global warming (according to the decisions discussed in Cancun in 2010) in order to establish a plan to lead to controlled emissions of carbon dioxide, even though countries such as Canada and Japan seem less willing than usual to ratify cuts in pollutants emissions, given the context of global economic crisis. Other data monitored on the health of the planet and its resources communicate that about a quarter of the land useful for example to feed the world population would be very markedly degraded for soil pollution and less water available, while some studies point to technological systems to exploit water "as the plants" in the desert.

Previous studies had already suggested that both Mars and Venus in ancient times there could have been an atmosphere similar to Earth's, then chemical and physical changes led to radical changes would make it almost impossible any form of life.

For years researchers have studied how the human brain is able to store experiences around the world and think about activating neurons in specialized areas of the brain trying to play these cognitive mechanisms in the so-called cognitive computers managed to achieve outstanding results, but what could be obvious by the human brain at the level of reasoning is often not for machines that have tremendous performance for the memory and for the moment still limited capacity of discernment.

Anniversaries of the personal computer

In August of 1981 (the 12) was launched the first personal computer to the general public produced by an American company manufacturer of mainframes initially contained in "wide blue envelopes", who gave to the new computer an innovative microprocessor invented by an Italian designer and an operating system similar to that adopted by the first computer kits that used a project derived from studies conducted at PARC in California in 1971. Before can conveniently place a computer on the desk at home, the technology has had to travel a long way considering that the first handheld calculator called the "pascaline" was built in 1642 by mathematician, philosopher, religious-Jansenist Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), but was G.W. Leibniz (1646-1716) which basically invented the binary calculation, then there was a slow progress that led until to the replacement of the mechanical gears with electronic circuits.

New rules for the sale of chemicals

After the carnage caused by an extremist Norway, the European Commission would be to adopt new rules regarding the sale of chemicals suitable to manufacture explosives such as hydrogen peroxide or other substances that can be used in dangerous weapons, which in this specific case seems to be the fertilizers discovered in a shed located in the farm of the attacker and blasted without risk to personnel involved in the defusing of explosives. The extremist who killed seventy-seven individuals as well as hold a real arsenal between "automatic weapons and various unhealthy equipment" with technical knowledge for the manufacture of explosives seems to have acted with coolness and calculation, telling the security personnel in place the massacre that was to carry out security checks dressed and equipped with professional equipment hiding his emotions and moving slowly.

Series of stress tests on Japanese nuclear plant

The Japanese authorities have declared that take into consideration the proposals of the local population in addition to procedures already adopted in Europe to develop the plan of stress tests on the fifty-four reactors nuclear power plants that provide approximately the thirty percent of the energy consumed in the country and if they were shut down for maintenance can cause energy shortages hard to fill. The nuclear crisis management and the reconstruction after the devastating tsunami that claimed over twenty-two thousand victims (?) has been greatly criticized causing resignations and bitter controversy, so much so that the safety of the plant in Fukushima Daiichi seems to find endless trouble with leakage of radioactive liquid in the soil after the attempting of "technology" type to try to establish a cooling circuit decontaminating the water present in the envelopes of the reactors.

Taught the echolocation to blind people

The technique of echolocation which enables blind people to orient themselves enough easily in the environment seems to be taught by experts in this particular sector that takes advantage of the ear's ability to feel the reverberations of small click of the tongue in the same way as s "sonar", a little imitating the technique adopted by other mammals to navigate in poor visibility condition. The ability to train with care seems is to produce a very dry click with the tongue first beginning to feel the reverberations of the sounds in the environment such as clapping their hands and then trying to avoid obstacles. Several studies in this area are trying to understand how the brain functions of the sonar aquatic mammals also to develop appropriate technologies or modify the electronic equipment to reduce the noise pollution.

Techniques to convert carbon dioxide into energy

Continue the studies to devise a technology that can capture and convert the carbon dioxide released by industrial emissions into energy, and this time researchers are testing a system in Singapore in two phases, first with a photochemical-electrochemical process to convert the CO2 in methane and then to grow microalgae using this gas low in carbon dioxide. Will also need to improve the efficiency of the process in order to lower the cost of obtaining this renewable energy; in fact one of the biggest problems to be solved for other types of apparatuses of capture and conversion is just what the cost of various procedures and to avoid to this difficulty is think (with other studies) to harness the energy lost for example during the operation and use of heavy machinery and then converting it into fuel.

Saving energy consumption in Japan and technology

At a distance in time of three months from the devastating tsunami that devastated Japan the situation is rather complex with the people involved in reconstruction having to deal in the case of Fukushima with issues related to the radiations, and then an economy in trouble that is also influenced by shortage of electricity due to the stop of some nuclear power stations. The authorities have called for a reduction of at least a fifteen percent of energy consumption that could increase during the summer for cause of the air conditioners and other equipment, but in this case, an aid could arrive in the coming months from the production of a new type of solar cell which uses strips of aluminum furniture that automatic focus the sunlight on high-performance tubes solar cells, while allowing to use less expensive silicon and heat the water with the excess of heat.

Detected an unseen part of universe

With a prolonged observation of the universe through X-rays lasting about three months an Australian student would be able to identify that particular part of matter of the universe that has mass calculated but is not visible with normal telescopes, so this discovery as well as giving a explanation for what is considered almost a "mystery of science" could lead to changes in techniques and construction technology of telescopes. The research was made possible by exploiting the unusual characteristic of matter postulated to have seen very high temperatures, of about a million degrees Celsius, which can be analyzed with the use of tools to make visible the matter forward regarding the targets X-ray wavelengths; it is curious that this operation has been succeed to a student girl while astrophysicists have been trying for decades without to avail anything.

Forecasting systems for earthquakes

Examining data on the atmosphere above the epicenter of the tsunami that struck Japan the 11/03, the researchers would have noticed that in this period varied the concentration of electrons in the ionosphere, probably due to release of radon gas from the undersea fault in the days before the strong earthquake, and this finding led to the correlation with the data of other strong magnitude earthquakes in order to develop a reliable forecasting system. At other times in the past observation of the release of radon gas was allowed to monitor geological movements (with swinging results) and now with the observation of infrared radiation could be an increased heat in the ionosphere following the action of the radon gas. According to some also the observation of micro-variations of position of the Earth's crust by satellite, in many cases allow the prediction of earthquakes.

Renewable energy as a primary energy source

Over the next few decades, renewable energy should be according to analysts' forecasts the main source of energy for factories and homes and to pass from about the thirteen percent of 2008 to seventy-seven percent of 2050 (in the most optimistic calculated scenario), although it will to try to remove obstacles that prevent the spread of new equipment that will be increasingly affordable, easy to use and suitable for combat the climate change. It has long been studying the organic photovoltaic or of third generation, which should also be produced in flexible panels that are hidden or in the same building materials as well as geothermal and biomass power plants are becoming more efficient, in addition, the various devices consume on average less energy such as computers with microprocessors with three-dimensional internal structure.

Energy from hydrogen and fuel cells

A new type of fuel cells much cheaper through the use of carbon, iron and cobalt in place of the expensive platinum was developed by American researchers, thereby making "affordable" the technology that converts hydrogen and oxygen into energy without greenhouse gas pollutants, only water and even small doses of hydrogen peroxide, which tend to damage the catalyst (problem in this case solved thanks to the optimization of the cycle of energy production). That of energy conservation is a key sector for example to allow cars and other electric vehicles a range of autonomy comparable to that obtained from engines that use fossil fuels and research in these fields is getting good results much slower than the needs of the market, though it still lacks a capillary distribution network of electric energy.

Ionizing particles and Geiger counter

One of the most popular tools for measuring ionizing radiation and particles is the scintillating Geiger-Müller counter using a metal cylinder containing a rarefied gas and a wire stretched close so then to establish a potential difference near the limit necessary to establish a discharge, so just have an ionizing particle strikes the tool to charge the spring discharge, which will be appropriately amplified and counted acoustically and visually. Hans Geiger (1882 - 1945) German physician assistant of Rutherford in Cambridge was one of the researchers who studied the trajectory and the position of alpha particles in the Cavendish laboratory, using the thin metal layers to see the difference in penetration of radiation and thus allowing later to E. Rutherford to develop in 1911 the atomic model of planetary type.

Technology for the research on the atom

The technology used for the study of nuclear physics have required decades of experimentation to arrive in December 1942 to the implementation of uranium and graphite stack of E. Fermi (1901-1954), considered the first nuclear reactor developed by man, and it seems that the use of complex calculations have been also used an early electronic computer called successively jokingly "maniac", but capable of unimaginable benefits for the period. The research on the atom in practice were made possible thanks to the discoveries of Marie Sklodowska Curie (1867-1934) and described in her "Treatise of radioactivity", in which explains the process of exposing to the action of neutrons of radioactive minerals up to achieve a kind of transformation of matter (stuff of alchemists), so could say from certain points of view, on the whole a decidedly unhealthy use of the technology.

Artificial elements strongly radioactive

The news that near a Japanese atomic reactor were found traces of plutonium, although the authorities declared that are not dangerous for the health, arises the question as the point to which the research may drive extent, in fact, Plutonium is a highly radioactive element produced artificially in the laboratory by Seaborg and Segrè in 1939-41 by subjecting an isotope of uranium to the action of deuterons accelerated, and if this sort of metal particles are inhaled into the body and therefore tend to settle, and with potentially carcinogenic effect over the years. The cause of environmental contamination of the Japanese nuclear power reactors around the bowls is not clear and may have been caused by radioactive vapors condensed, however, the utmost vigilance was expected to escape a situation that perhaps is a bit out of control.

Saving energy and technology

The energy supply is one of the most pressing problems of industrial societies and the cost of energy can make a difference in the efficiency of production, then almost goes without saying that the choices of many countries are linked to the energy, decisions that affect the lives of millions of people and the environment in which they live. The energy is often wasted, whereas in modern societies can be saved on consumer devices with technology and also with simple designs set to safeguard the environment, for example with regard to the heating of various local, with good insulation can be avoided waste, and transportation are equipped with engines that not use new technologies (such as the internal mixed combustion and that stratified) and energy generating plants are not on "human scale" and pose a risk also the other innocent creatures.

A technology not safe in Fukushima

The incident at the Fukushima nuclear plant raises questions about how it is possible that the very radioactive spent fuel rods in the first phase were apparently stored in a tank without special protection of a thick steel shell and therefore with a high risk of contamination for the environment. The technology used for the system is practically obsolete and, paradoxically, the lack of electricity makes it impossible to activate the cooling pumps (even if is try to reactivate them) and then exposing to extreme radiation the technicians that with various methods shoot water on the damaged reactors, but the level of radiation does not seem to diminish. It awaits the arrival of remote-controlled robot and special pumps to try to avoid a disaster of proportions that some say potentially superior to that of Chernobyl, a dangerous race against the time and the nature.

Problems at the nuclear plant in Fukushima

The radiation of the nuclear power plant number one of Fukushima had reached unusually high levels due to the failure of the cooling system after the violent "earthquake" of magnitude 8.9 located at sea about 140 km from the coast that has hit Japan, and the population (more than hundred and forty thousand individuals) were evacuated from an area of twenty kilometers from the nuclear plant not just recent as technology. Although in Japan there is earthquake-resistant construction that has held up very well to strong initial shock and the intense performances of magnitude greater than 6 the damage was considerable and resulting primarily from the high tsunami waves and there are over thousand victims and many missing and injuries, but is also high concern for the controlled escape of radioactive cesium to cool the hot core of the plant in Fukushima.

Electromagnetic pulses to defuse the mines

Using a wide range of resonances of electromagnetic pulses a group of Swiss scientists would be able to remotely detonate mines with various types of construction technology, thanks to pulses of very short duration with fast response time and proceeding to scan a large number of frequencies. In addition to these procedures would then also need to focus at the correct resonant frequency of these impulses that normally do not have strong enough to blow the various models of mine (who would all have a rather similar frequency range). Landmines are explosive devices that cause severe mutilation every year in hundreds of thousands of individuals and in addition to causing death and suffering, often in children who collect mines camouflage from toys, disable minefields for example as for agricultural use for several years or even decades.

Glass that is melted to absolute zero temperature

As a result of "quantum physics" seem to be possible to melt the glass not only warm, but cooled to absolute zero temperature (-273.15 Celsius degrees), and scientists believe this feature derives from the arrangement of the molecules in the material and by order taking, depending on temperature, in addition there must be some specific physical conditions. Different materials may be contrary to the glass if cooled to low temperatures even if this feature is obviously very usable in everyday life under normal conditions and can occur only in the laboratory. To note that also the water has interesting features and if subjected to pressure exceeding two thousand atmospheres can be obtained at least seven crystalline forms over to the solid form of ice that is very common with reticulum shaped and hexagonal symmetry.

The lights for night illumination of the cities if used without criterion increasing the brightness of the sky could provoke a pollution of chemical type, at least from the results of a study that would have shown that emissions from human activities would be partially cleared during the course of night, but this mechanism would be hindered for cause of a chemical reaction caused by light at night that would make it difficult then even from the action of the sun that not helps to further dissolve these pollutants components. From the results of this research would seem important to try to point down the lights illuminated at night, making sure that they are not reflected back to the top so it does not promote the effect of increased lighting at night (a phenomenon of light pollution for years reported just as not "healthy" also for the observation of the sky).

Prevention against the heavy rainfall

The recent weather rainfall of unusual intensity that also hit the Europe seems to have been caused by the temperature difference between cold cloudy fronts and rather hot air near the ground for the high summer temperatures, in addition the air pollution facilitates the "agglomeration" of the water vapor in large drops that end up in a few hours to swell rivers and streams that without adequate drainage cause extensive damage. Building green homes that pollute less (with a mix of technological solutions and traditional insulation) and build water that can works in automatic mode to direct the waters might be useful to prevent this type of intense phenomena, whereas the growing cementation does not facilitate the evacuation of water that tends to be torrents and discharge its strength on the houses and all the structures.

For some time discussing the reliability of various kinds of DNA genetic testing that the technology allows to run faster and faster by sending a small swab to specialized companies (kits that are often sold on the Web), but the actual evidence apparently remain still not very predictive and even according to recent surveys could generate false expectations or groundless fears. To note also that the genetic maps that try to do to identify the origins of a population do not give the results the researchers expected, and for example the so-called "Venetian Doc" was not found by testing on a voluntary basis, in fact DNA analysis found genetic traces apparently of Eastern, Balkan and central Italy individuals.

Blinds driving through the technology

Using an interface with sensors that detect the position of vehicles surrounding the researchers have made a prototype that informs the driver without eye sight via vibrations (for example, through appropriate gloves) driving maneuvers in turn needed to be able to drive the vehicle, but it is always experimental stages of a technology that has yet to be developed further. Another way to communicate without the individual can saw the position of another vehicle would be by blowing compressed air emerging from a panel with a series of holes, so the pilot could perceive a kind of map of the environment and could help directing and driving around. Other devices are under test from time to give to the normal cars an "autopilot" useful to complement the driving and possibly avoid an obstacle or to brake if necessary.

Miniaturized capacitors

A capacitor is an electronic component to electrostatic induction that can quickly provide large amounts of electricity due to the difference in potential is created between two conducting surfaces separated by a dielectric and thanks to nanotechnology is possible to realize miniaturized capacitors by depositing thin layer of titanium chromium and separated by an insulating material and then wrapped in a very compact cylinder of capacity (in proportion to the size) almost double those designed with conventional technology. The capacitors connected in parallel may have very high tensions job and from long time more efficiently use draws the attention of researchers who study always new methods on how to store the energy in these bipoles wrapped in "armor" that can download energy instantaneously when the user requests it.

Tracing the CO2 through liquid detectors

To avoid leaks of carbon dioxide in the storage reservoirs, for example derived from disused coal plants, scientists have developed a liquid perfluorocarbon-based mixed with the CO2 that reveals leaks into the atmosphere to the instruments calibrated to capture minimum traces of these molecules and this method has already been done to monitor more than eighteen thousand tons of greenhouse gas injected into a crack about to thousand meters deep in the underground. Reduce the emissions remains the first objective considering the cost of large storage facilities such the CCS and bearing in mind that although always is try to find very stable areas of the subsurface there is always a percentage of risk due to earthquakes or other events that may cause uncontrolled leakage of carbon dioxide "stored" for long periods of time.

Technologic fuels with synthetic liquids

The use of alternative fuels to power combustion engines is an area of research that goes rather slowly, and now a new attempt still experimental in the early stages to get a synthetic liquid should have been tried turning carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide using a machine containing cerium oxide that is heated to a rotation system for concentrating solar, which can also synthesize hydrogen from water. Once obtained these gases can make a catalytic process to get a synthetic liquid fuel normally used for example to power the vehicles, and there are also other types of chemical processes to achieve the same result. As regard for fuels derived from various plants, some point out that the cultivation of so-called "biofuels" are likely to be planted to the detriment of trees and plants that oxygenate the planet.

Unification of Italy and technology

It celebrates the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the departure of Garibaldi from Quarto the 05/06/1860 with two steamers and 1089 volunteers for the Sicily as a first step towards the unification of Italy and then managed to defeat with the help of local people the Bourbon army equipped with three thousand men and four guns on 15/05/1860 at Calatafimi in Trapani province. The final battle for its symbolic value seems to have been won thanks to newly developed automatic weapons (an unhealthy technological example from a certain point of view) that were loaded alongside those old charged at Talamone. By shifting the focus to another type of technology much more modern and less bloody is worth mentioning that Italy is a country with slower Internet connections on average and low percentage of broadband penetration, instead mobile phones have fast connections.

Restored da Vinci Atlantic Code

For cause of some traces of blackish spots of mold that had formed on the supports added to the original sheets that make up the famous Atlantic Code of Leonardo from Vinci (1452 - 1519) was restored the volumes that collect the drawings so to preserve the sheets from the wear and tear of the time. The collection was formed in ancient times from 393 papers with about 1600 sheets with red leather binder in standard atlas format from which the definition of Atlantic Code and bearing the title: "Design of machines and the arts and other secret things of Leonardo da Vinci, collected by Pompeo Leoni" is formed by different volumes partially sold abroad and partly recovered and preserved in the Ambrosiana Library in Italy. The drawings depict the gears of ingenious mechanical machines for various processes, navigational equipment and military, fortifications, architecture and cartographies, ideas for paintings.. schemes for the flight derived from the anatomy of the birds.

Cheap computers and with low pollution

The trend of new technology is oriented to produce very cheap computer and that has a reduced ambience footprint through the use of recycled components, green materials, using more efficient LED lighting displays, processors that do not absorb too much power although little potent than the model of the new generation. For years, there are simplified portable computers designed for the purpose of education for children and now in large countries like India are expected to provide the students with computer truly economic (five hundred rupees or ten dollars, through incentives) designed to allow a diffusion of these technologies even to those who until now could not use it, but also some with a shortage of hardware and software which limits the performance to save as much as possible and with some ecological questions of how the raw materials are recycled.

Repairs made to the Hubble telescope

Astronauts with a job of several days seems to have managed to repair the Hubble Space Telescope (2.4 m diameter at 550 km away from the earth) also mounting sophisticated new instruments that should allow the observation of the universe for a time valued in about five - ten years. This telescope put into orbit in 1990 made it possible to take images from ultraviolet to the infrared outside the atmosphere with a resolution much higher than those made by observatories on the earth and takes its name from the scientist Edwin Powel Hubble (1889 - 1953) who studied the shape of galaxies, and calculated the distance as well, tried to calculate a constant of expansion of the universe by formulating the theory of the "big bang", sensing that the galaxies were all moved from the same point as in an explosion, then studied the hypothesis if the universe might be open or closed.

Technology with low environmental impact

When you buy an appliance there is often a label that shows the energy consumption and its environmental impact and, now also houses insulated or of new design feature have documentation from which one can easily derive the energy class, but many and varied consumer products are free of indicative labels easily readable on what is the real environmental impact for the use. A large plasma television for example consume much energy (contrary to expectations, or more than a little) and also many vehicles do not indicate clearly the emissions of CO2 for every kilometer, abounding instead with the description of the others characteristics or less important.. and this happens when you buy anything, from air travel to the holiday tourism.

Many astronomical observatories feel light pollution affecting the vision of telescopes land that seems to also have economic difficulties in this astronomical "Galilean" 2009 and face competition from those mounted on satellites and probes that are subject to minor disturbances and allow optical to scrutinize distant space more precisely. The observation of the sky is ancient and already the Egyptians seem to have fairly precise knowledge on the collection of astronomical events and even the pyramids were oriented according to the position of certain constellations, but the astronomer who first supported the theory of apparent motion of the sun and of the heliocentric system was the Pythagorean philosopher Filolao of Crotone (V century BC), confirmed later by Aristarchus of Samos.. and Nicholas Coppernicus (1473 - 1543) thanks to the observations and the reading of the Greek texts developed his heliocentric theories.

The invention of the telescope

Events in honor of Galileo Galilei (Pisa 1564 - Florence 1642) have highlighted how the scientist has helped to develop what would later become the telescope, making many careful observations and experiments on the magnification produced by lenses used in telescopes, that skilled Italian and the Netherlands craftsmen were able to obtain from long time and then aligned probably due to the studies of the Neapolitan Giambattista Della Porta (1535 -1615) literate - scientist and author of "The refractive optics" and inventor of the dark room in 1593. Previously despite the inevitable persecution was able in 1580 to build a parabolic mirror in Venice, then in 1610 was also accepted in the Academia of the Lincei. To remember then the "enlightening" work of the Jesuit Nicola Zucchi (Parma 1586 - Rome 1670) who made studies of optics that enabled the construction of the telescope.

To note that the heliocentric hypothesis as well as Copernicus and Galileo was previously supported by Aristarchus of Samos (310 - 230 BC), who in "On the size and distance of the Sun and the Moon" (translated first by the Arabs and then in Latin by George Valla in 1488) ingeniously calculated but with approximation the diameter of the sun seven times higher than that of the earth, then proceeds that was illogical to think, viewed the substantial difference in volume (300 times), that a larger body could turn around one smaller.. for this theory was accused of impiety.

At the center of galaxy there would be a black hole

For several years is assumed that the to center of the Milky Way there was a "black" hole (not visible from the moment that even the light is captured by the great force of gravity) and through the observation of the movement of certain stars that revolve around the center the galaxy, the Germans astronomers found that would almost certainly result from the presence of this big black hole with a mass four million times greater than our sun. Other studies reported how our galaxy could have within it a kind of disc of "dark matter" which according to some calculations should represent about 22% of the mass in the Universe and how it would be a kind of halo of low intensity surrounding the Milky Way, then there would be 74% of a still little known and strange "dark energy", then only 4% of visible matter..

Waves and accelerometers to predict earthquakes

Accurate analysis of data relating to particular seismic waves that shake the ground seems to be predictive of a possible earthquake, and especially the shock of slow up and down type rather destructive since they cause series of movements in the perpendicular direction of the wave that may affect the stability of buildings. American researchers have identified a series of "abnormal" waves ten hours before and also two hours before the earthquake, also measuring instruments with very sensitive variations in cracks that form in the soil (as open and then close) and the barometric pressure believe it can get other indications predictor of the earthquake. Previously some scientists had advanced the proposal of using the accelerometers present in the new portable computers, to protect the hard disk from any falls, with special software to form a network of alert for shocks of earthquakes in real time.

Virtual quantum computers superfast

An equipe of Italian scientists has developed a simulator that uses the quantum waves by Philip Anderson (Indianapolis 1923 - quanta physicist, Nobel Prize in 1977) through the transformation of the potassium atoms first cooled almost to the absolute zero and then transformed into waves through the action of a sort of laser cage beams that form a virtual crystal capable of trapping the atoms. This technology should allow in the future to achieve high computers that reduce the time of calculation for example by tens minutes to thousandths of a second or allow to calculate the structure of the universe, the experiment made at the Lens of Florence was published in a prestigious international magazine and opens the path to a new type of development based on the quanta or qbit. The localization of waves of matter although for the moment is just a virtual testing could radically change the system of calculation toward models to much more advanced.

Sustainable impact technology

It happens that some technological devices with the alternation of design and performance require an amount of energy always increasing and even chemical components or metals with non-negligible environmental impact, such as videogames of last generation are equipped with graphics processors and very powerful calculation that allow a considerable realism, but also consume much more energy of classic video games, including the large flat video screen television absorb an amount of energy decidedly superior (especially those to plasma) than the old cathode ray tubes or simply compared to the normal flat screens. Worth noting that all the computers in the world counted both contribute to global warming if not used with shrewdness and sustainable criteria, for example, is possible could try to save energy not leaving them unnecessarily running and replace with new models to minor environmental impact making attention to the getting over operations.

Computer that memorize

A technology designed almost forty years ago, but that only recently has been developing seems can have positive implications of transistors that unlike those normal may also recall the flow of transactions executed, called for this reason that allow memristor thanks to special connections among them also to perform the functions of transistors as well as keep all information entered on the computer before the turn off and then the data will be released immediately available with the turn on (but is still studies on a small scale). Some time ago would also be discussed on what could be the future of the artificial intelligence and whether it should be based on the model of switch on-off, or that permitting a "superposition" which admits both the positions (experimentation called quantum), but in the meantime the evolution of all the technology according to some seems to be so fast that can not stay in step with the constant innovations.

Integration between technology and thought

To the development of the more complex faculties of the thought of the individuals contributes the type of formation and with the computer science technology it would seem that also the "architecture" of the thought is being modified and that would tend to adapt to the computerized models with logons in the brain that they would facilitate the understanding of the numerous stimuli (sometime a few stressful and pressing on the plan of the speed, at least in an optical of equilibrium also with other types of cultural stimuli). Interesting to notice as also the computers are becoming more and more fast and tend to integrate at the same time various technologies that demand powerful processors equipped of miniaturizes transistor fruit of nanotechnologies, and in a close future from little atoms of a single layer of graphite it will be possible to gain a micro electronic switch, than in practical it is to the base of all the computer science technology.. (a great number of on-off shunters and programs that control them).

Informatic operating systems to protect

Usually are believed to naturalistic ambiences to preserve and to safeguard, species animals and vegetables to protect from the threats to times provoked from the technology, but paradoxicalally can happen that can be a petition in favour of valid informatic systems that risk to being abandon from the advance of the last innovations (not always appreciate to the public or from the costs not just to the capacity of all the pockets). All this is happening with the [..XP ] operating system much diffusing and tested that it risks to being abandoned also from the point of view of the development in favour of a computer technology that has made a lot to discuss (with complaints for the slowness, the compatibility with programs not just recent..) and although by now the modernization software is available, that it would have to resolve some functionality problematic, continues to reach appeals in order to safeguard the "old" system (to which many are becomes attached as it was a domestic room).

Indispensable cell phone

Can happen to persons who forget to carry with itself the cell phone of being hit from a feeling of disappointment and in some cases seems that from a simple uneasiness it can become a true mental confusion, also in case of exhaust batteries.. an exaggerated reaction perhaps to connect to an improper use of this technology (and to think that until little years ago it was nearly scandalous to possess the first cumbersome models). To notice that the formidable invention of the telephone must be to Anthony Meucci (Florence 1808, New York 1889), than after many trying constructed the first more rather rudimentary apparatus in 1857 and later the licence regularly was deposited to the New York District Telegraph Company and to the Patent Office of Washington (1871), then the designs disappeared from the Patent Office and subsequently other questions of licence were introduced that used the same principle of operation slightly modified, a saddest detective story on which still it is discussed.

Microscopical technologies and machines

In future could be used the nanotechnologies for "interface" the man with systems of artificial intelligence and other devices that they would have to contribute to monitoring and repairing the organs, innovations that recall to the memory history of science fiction (with miniaturize submarines that travel inside of the human body) and bionyxes man. In the truth the dwarf technologies are already wide used in products of wide consumption, like as an example some types of solar creams that spread a species of film constituted of smallest particles that reflect the solar beams, and the study on equipment miniaturized roboticses becomes more and more advanced and the incessant development in all the fields comprised that one of the nutrition; less clear is the effect on the health in the case are ingests these microscopical finds, from the moment that some denounce that they could be accumulated in the organs (..attending of the robots purifying and sweepers).

Domestic refusals and space

A time, not even as well as far away, it was attempted to recover nearly all from the moment that considered many things, now seen like useless, really precious and the refusals were lessened reduced or it was tried to repair as an example mechanics the breakdowns, even losing much time, replacing some particular with materials recycled also to not replace the several equipment; but now the tendency seems is mostly that one to buy new products and to throw without too many doubts those "old ones" in more and more polluting and cumbersome rubbish dumps. That one of the refusals and their getting over is a global problematic and even the space is interested in some way from this type of degradation; in fact, it seems that hundred of thousand of "pieces" of spaces objects destroyed turns in orbit around to the Earth to whirling speed, with the danger that hits the new small spaceship, satellites.. and damage them seriously even if they are smallest (of approximately the diameter of a centimeter).

The "war" of the search engines

The visibility on the Web is allowed from the portals of search that are linked on motors that would have to scan million of pages automatically in order to allow to the navigators of the Internet net to find the information wished, but in practical it must manually signal the page to the several motors so that it can be characterized, in contrary case is nearly impossible to find a site if already it is not known or publicized to payment always that is not writes directly the address in the navigation bar. The decision of a great computer company to acquire one of the main search engines could re-enter in that species of "war" of the click with data analyzes in order to characterize the preferences of the customer, to offer publicity aimed, concur to the purchase of consumption products.. but the criteria of selection of the pages are often "dark" (like happen for this salutary site evidently uncomfortable and victim of strange errors), moreover in theory at least in Italy the traces of the searches on the Web would have to be cancelled.

With the computer technology more and more often the mail travels for an electronic via with consequently with the decrease of that on paper, but one normal e-mail can also easily be read from whichever bad intentioned always that is not used the certified mail ("cryptographed" with receipt release).

Traces on Internet to cancel

The telephone companies in Italy will have within two months to cancel all the traces of navigations of the customers and the e-mail sended and received, from which it seems was possible to reconstruct in automatic a generic profile of the navigator from the type of Internet sites visited and from the addresses of the mail, without to consider that however the traces of the ill-famed cookie (of the small files that record the preferences of the customer, but that they can be it uses also in order to find sensitive data) released from many Web pages, remain in the computer if they do not come manually cancelled. An other type of danger to times seems also can be represented from the relatively new services that concur to telephone with the Voip on the Internet net, from the moment that could be hidden one false identity behind the telematic connection; moreover it will be opportune to control opportunely also the video and the images to download.

Seen from the probe Cassini the Earth would seem to have of the rings, moreover have been characterized approximately others sixty moons that they belong to the Saturn planet, but the more interesting discovery recently regard to the observation of the Cosmos is relative to a wide powder disc not sighted previously round to a far binary star system that it could induce the astronomers to reformulate the computerized conception of the Universe at least regard the black holes and the formation of planets (for cause of the great gravitational forces that are originated attracting the surrounding matter). Some time ago had been also recorded close to the constellation of the Centauro to 220 light years from the Earth the organic molecule presence ("Tolin") made up of carbon that dissolving itself they would originate of the amino acids that are to the base of the life, that they are present also in the solar system (but on our planet the oxygen not to consent the formation).

The problematic tied to the getting over of the refusals are under the eyes of all in Italy and has been also many cases of damages to the health of persons (but also of vegetables, animals..) that lived near rubbish dumps not adequately monitored, without to consider that if the pollution catches up a deep water-bearing stratum, as it can happen with the batteries to the cadmium, is risked to deteriorate the entire ecosystem.

Amazing genome

One of the scientists that have contributed to discover the genes that form the double helix, to the analyses carried out on his famous DNA has turned out to possess 73% of genes of European origin, 9% Asian and "very" the 16% of African origin, data that normally is limited to only an 1% in the European white populations; therefore the scientist that had defined some time ago the intelligence of the Africans in some way inferior could have just a relative coming from "the black" continent.. perhaps a great-grandfather. In bottom we are all Africans; in fact some theories on the evolution of the species have characterized in the African continent the origin of the first human species, than then could have "colonized" the Europe and also the rest of the world.

Some support that the bad intentioned can easy take the control of the computers connect on the Web in little minutes and there are also of the countries in which the governments are not evidently taken care to block the operations of computer piracy (on the other hand sometime we read of the incredible leaks in the systems), instead in the case of restrictions to the information freedom the censorship to times takes part with heavy hand (like in Myanmar).

The idea to catch up the Indians from the sea, in truth had come to the Florentine Toscanelli that in 1474 introduced a plan to the Portuguese government, but was only thanks to the tenacity and to the stubbornness of Columbus that was possible to carry it in port in 1492, perhaps also because it believed that the earth was much smaller, the Europe larger and the travel much plus short.. fortunately that like he same declared was helped from the Providence and wrote also books of prophetic type on his mission (Christopher like bringer of Christ, nearly one discoverer of the Spirit).

Colorful gene

It would seem from recent researches that could enough the variation of a single gene in the chain of the DNA in order to determine the color of the eyes; and will remain surely disappointed those that sustain the theories of the race, so are small the differences that determine the aspect of the men (to notice that also for the color of the hats a single gene could be been involved). The extremist theories of the protection of the race have often carried in the history to unfortunate choices of "ethnic cleaning" also between consanguine populations as is happened in Yugoslavia and more recently in Africa, but the science have by now demonstrated that the true differences to overwhelm are only those cultural ones (moreover seem that also the rats share with the man the 90% of the genome and all the mammals share the same fundamental structure of the brain).

Staminals and monoclonals in the future

Perhaps in a close future it will be possible to cure the muscular dystrophy thanks to the staminals cells, always if the experiment lead with effectiveness in Italy on the dogs has the same effects radically cured also on the men and without having serious effects collaterals. Other medicines from the aimed effectiveness, biologically programmed on the targets represent from single pathologies would seem to represent the future of world-wide research, even if some time makes has aroused fuss the case of the "human guinea-pigs" to London remained disabled in some faculties of the memory after the experimentation of new medicines successive to the first phase positive (even if debatable) happened without problems on the rats. Perhaps in spite of some problems legacies also to the experimentation are clear the potentialities of the "technology of the medicine", but also many natural cured mechanisms of the vegetables and the animals can surely still reserve of the surprises.

A few narrow wide band

Somebody measures between the reference parameters of an advanced society also the percentage of citizens that use the computer, the frequency of the Internet logins, if the wide band is available.. and to how much seems under this last point of view in Italy are still of the deficiencies in the ADSL connections in some peripheral zones, sometimes in mountain or in some regions to spot of leopard. Beyond to the advantages and the new interesting services of the net, although the numerous detractors, remains also the problem of the trash mail, the spies and the virus of varied type that infest the nets data transmissions, and they are becoming more and more insidious (to think that until little years ago the spyware did not exist); at last it must remember also the disturber, who copy or tries to force the site, the mail and make to lose precious time.. (one reflex of the world).

Pluto is not more a planet

Is a period in which many arguments are felt on the space, seemed at first that had been discoveries new planets, but theirs reduced dimensions have forced for analogy to declass also Pluto; that uncovered in 1930 it employs 247 years in order to carry out a complete revolution around the sunlight, from which is therefore far away that practically it's only an ice block. Other interesting discovery has been that relative the not visible dark matter but with a noticeable mass from the instruments and the modifications induced to the surrounding space. Less thrilling instead, have been the detections on the life unfortunate and disorderly of the astronauts come down on the Moon (there is also that assert that the man is not never really tread the lunar ground and that has been alone an incredible putting in scene of the USA in order to win the Cold War.. copying part of the prevoiusly tricks of the opponent).

Defective code

Lately a lot is discussed on a novel of "detective-religious" fantasy that to how much seems is full of colossal inaccuracies to begin from the exaggerated quantity of antimatter obtained, than if were true would want for the procedure more much than all the energy never produced from the man, and then Leonardo from Vinci was not a magician, but in reality he appreciated the Neoplatonic philosophy of Marsilio Ficino, with the concept of the nature fruit of the perennial divine creation and the effort of the human mind of being able itself to adapt to that divine; at last the John apostle represented in the Last Supper corresponds to the attractive aspect of the young person that results from many sacred texts. Naturally the more serious thing of the novel is to put in argument the Trinity, and is well-known that in the history of the Christianity to extirpate the heresies it has demanded a remarkable pay of martyrdoms (true and not of fantasy).

UFO all false sighting

Often happen that someone sights a so-called unidentified flying object, than then reveals all tricks of doubt taste; and recently it has been found from the same author of the famous film on the autopsy to presumed aliens falls with their spaceship was a macabre fiction in rubber latex and interiors of animals (but the doctors that commented the fiction not were realized ?) Unfortunately also the sights that many of we have seen in the sky of objects with strange lights that fly to the highest speeds could already be the fruit of two types of land technologies put to point from Germans and Russians to the time of the second world war, developed from the Americans and skillfully hidden. Naturally in the infinite Universe there will be sure much life shapes but as well intelligent as not to use of tricks and television deceits (and then they could have an aspect and a type of intelligence much various from our fantasy can imagine ..with multiverse hypothesis).

Videogames with moderation

An English study marks that the use of videogames can develop in the boys the spaces abilities and of coordination of the mind; naturally to pact to play with moderation from the moment that these sophisticated games can also lead to attitudes of dependency and aggressiveness. To notice that some virtual animations born for the videogames are now used in other fields for varies scientific scopes, on the other hand the industries that produce these "magical box" are of the colossus to the vanguard of the computer technologies science (hoping that they do not produce only the ill-famed ones and little educative fire games).

Genetics pharmacy

The new progresses of the genetics would have to carry in the short term remarkable advantages on the use of the medicines aimed for every type of organism, from the moment that the effect can not only vary for a single gene but also for the sequence of some parts of the genome, than now it seems is succeeded in to map with of the specific markers. To notice that a famous professor has declared without periphrasis that in practical approximately a third part of the medicines is really effective, and thanks to the new acquaintances on the genetics it will be possible to improve the dosages of the pills with really active principles and to characterize the most adapted for an aimed cure (hoping that does not have to be still waited for of the decades).

Technological Para Olympic Games

After the winter Olympic Games of Turin in Italy has concluded also that Para Olympic for unable athletes with the passion of the sport and even the fortune than to be able to practice it, and mistakes who thinks that this type of manifestations can be poor of resources; in fact great groups specialize in biotechnologies follow with great interest the performances of some athletes a few particular. For absurdity it can happen that some "para champions" have better possibilities from the economic point of view of the "norm-athletes"; as an example it seems that some strong Italy skaters candid have declared that even if wanted, they would not have not even the monies for the doping (and all added this is a good).

Little comprehensible technologies

Would seem from some surveys that many persons so little accustomed to the use of the new technologies, as well as to bring back to the traders several the apparatuses like if they were broken even if they turn out to perfectly working. Obvious that the problem is from not only charging to the manufacturers houses (than on the other hand produces more and more complex apparatuses and at the same time with documentation for theirs use often insufficient), but also of the same users that are scared for the smallest mnemonic effort; in fact to learn to use the new technological instruments, could be an optimal exercise for the mind and in order to maintain it in perfect efficiency in the time.

Relaxant videogames

Finally beyond to the usual violent videogames accused from many of being strongly not educative and to remove the boys from positive values, now is available also of the games that aim to the relaxation and to provoke feelings of serenity in the player. In particular to the California University have put to point the game "Clouds" that allows to fly virtually between the clouds and to defeat the pollution of the cities with a hard fight rewarded with a travel moving in the uncontaminated nature.

Nervous cells in evidence

Are passed approximately one hundred years from when the Nobel prize for the medicine was conferred in 1906 to the Italian Camillo Golgi (Corteno-BS 1843, Pavia 1926) that with a handicraft method thanks to a coloring matter of his invention, the nitrate of chromium and silver succeeded to evidence the multipolar nervous cells with axial ramifications (cells of the Golgi), opening a window on the fascinating and in part still disowned galaxy of the nervous system (as well as that could be asked as can have had origin this prodigy of complexity only with the evolution). To notice that this remarkable discovery has been made in Italy, when the "well country" was still to the vanguard in many fields, that seems by now a very far time.

Doubts about the health of the earth

New alarms and outcries seem will be publish in the book "The revenge of Gaia" of James Lovelock (the scientist authoritative, but too much catastrophic also for the most ignited environmentalists), already author of original theory that the earth auto regulate herself in order to maintain the living conditions. For the scientist it would still remain approximately a century of life before that the survivors can shelter in one narrow portion of the Antarctic zone not remained submerged. The theory currency the factors of pressure on the atmosphere and the unstoppable dissolution of the poles for the lacked reflection of the solar beams, for the fusion of the ice of the polar zones and the progressive increase of the land temperature, with consequences type "Universal Deluge". The exaggerations do not do good never, but seen the actual situation a greater attention to the ambience would be sure opportune (even with to one prayer to the Eternal Father for the our preservation).

Mini robot for agriculture

Of the miniaturize robots could soon be used in agriculture, in practical flying like smallest helicopters could find the harmful bugs hidden between the plants removing them or eliminating spraying affixed chemical compounds. Frankly also to the lovers of the technology it seems a hypothesis a few alarming, above all because with the biodynamic agriculture can be obtained naturally the same effects, introducing in the ambient animals that feed themselves of the injurious bugs or plants that remove them.

Survival in the universe

Martin Rees an important English scientist of the Royal Society of Science, maintains that the actual century is the first in which the man is in a position to damaging the atmosphere in which it lives so much to risk the survival of the species. The scientist assumes in the future the colonization of other planets also outside from our solar system; in fact there would be billions of planets similar to the earth and they could also be of the shapes of life that we do not succeed to imagine, from the moment that we perceive alone 4% of the cosmos that is formed from infinites universes.
