But how complex is it?

From the Turing machine to physical models, a look at complex systems

The characteristic feature of modern systems, physical models and IT scenarios alike, is their “complexity”. Just like in the Network of Networks, millions of devices interact and require new analysis techniques which themselves represent the boundaries of recent research. A discussion with experts carrying out research in the area.

The raw materials of the future

A visit to the NEST labs

Codifi ed in the 19th century (the rules are mostly unchanged), football is the most popular sport in the world. Its (tele)visual format offers total enjoyment though there is not a great deal to be learnt; its backstage version, however, is all about learning and features studies, research, ideas, travel and an abundance of humanity.

The Higgs boson and the raw materials of the internet

A journey into the CERN lab in Geneva where the Higgs boson was identifi ed and discovered. Technology confirmed what scientists hypothesised. The über-small material gives substance to elementary particles. Our journey continues with a refl ection on materials and on the digital world, a perfect example of dematerialisation. What are the raw materials of […]

Startup of things

Makers and fabbers are innovating with a hitherto unseen intensity and inventiveness, but what type of business would provide the perfect backdrop to the development of their projects?

What will Italian businesses be like in ten years? With which start-up model do we, as a country, have a competitive advantage? Should we go back to basics with digital manufacturing or can it be introduced into our local areas? The very transformation that start-ups are bringing to services can now also be introduced to […]

Exoskeletons

Robots don’t get old

Human body parts built in the lab to help disabled people or to remedy the natural deterioration that comes with age. The future is upon us. Wearables are becoming not only tools for relationships, but also enable users to achieve up to sporting level performance. Before the panel discussion, Nicola Vitiello will present his exoskeleton.

Towards a Mediterranean model of accelerating business

In this age of tech-based innovation, the current start-up model does not refl ect the reality of Italian production which consists of artisans, makers and small businesses located throughout the land. How can we make this reality a thriving ecosystem? What if we needed to slow down business rather than accelerate it?
