The fission of nuclei (let’s call it “nuclear technology” although it occurs in specific materials long before our species manages to turn it into a weapon) is the practical proof …
Does the sofa have exhaust?
The clear atmosphere of the metropolis appeared from time to time, in the form of panoramic photos, in the good news of the quarantine days. One positive side effect of …
Cold Fusion
For some, it represents the ultimate energy solution: a cheap energy source without environmental implications. The final (and, above all, practical) form of such a nuclear process does not appear …
climate change and 4th industrial revolution
…It is now widely recognized that an unprecedented level of collaboration and innovation will be needed, involving many beyond the public sector, to advance the major, systemic transitions required in …

It is said that the large industrial exhibitions that moved through European and American cities from the middle of the 19th century onwards were, among other things (or perhaps primarily), …
The absolute battery!
Even a few years ago it would belong to the repertoire of “science fiction”. Not anymore. Especially since something like this was urgently needed. A research team from Hong Kong, …
scientific truths
Could radioactivity be less harmful than we think? Wildlife has “returned” next to the concrete shell of the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine, which 30 years ago became a nightmare …
the bleeding materiality of “immaterial” capitalism
The belief that in this glossy era of technology and innovation, production has changed form and become immaterial, is dominant in the minds of first-world citizens. Equally dominant is the …
vaccine for radioactivity
The sign on the barrels is unmistakable: radioactive waste. The promise of nuclear energy has been plagued by leaks for decades. No more. And not for the better… A multidisciplinary …
the myth of the machine
The Large Hadron Collider of CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) is a literally pharaonic research project on behalf of (initially) particle physics. It is an “uncompromising experiment,” uncompromising in …
smart cities
It’s not that strange that the prefix “smart” is starting to gain ground in our increasingly technological everyday life. If smartphones broke all sales records, why couldn’t the same happen …
