year of science and technology

Also ends this year. An abnormal year in many ways, characterized by a desire to restore the normal life that has not yet come.
One Technomondo We try to tell part of this journey, which is about science and technological progress, and looking at the world from different perspectives.

Science that cares about people and the environment

Everyone’s attention was also stimulated in 2021 by the Covid-19 pandemic and its effects. Perhaps that is why we have been able to realize, more powerfully than in the past, the extent to which technological innovations can improve our lives and health.
Studies and investigations have been made in these fields, many of which have, over a twelve-month period, found their place in the most prestigious scientific journals.

At Radio Bullets, we cover some of these ideas. We have given space, for example, to innovations to facilitate medication management, such as Implantable robotic system for the release of controlled drugs. or thehydrogel That, by sticking to damaged or diseased soft tissues, he can repair and heal them.
We talked about it small pill With a greater concentration of active ingredients.
How can we forget the technical ideas of overcoming what is, for many people, an obstacle standing between self and medicine: Injection. All thanks to the pressure syringe for drug injection and needleless blood collection device.

In a historical period when even the health of the world was precarious, we were dealing with technological discoveries to combat climate change. From graphene filter For CO2 that combats CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, let’s move on to the topic of recycling with local fertilizer.
we met later BeachBotThe robot that cleans beaches of cigarette butts and learns using artificial intelligence to decide which waste to collect.
Finally, we find that the world around us is full of energy – another big topical issue in 2021 – enough to build on what we already have. As in the underground car parks in our cities, thank you very interesting Geothermal Panel System.

The flag that wins and celebrates

We also say goodbye to a year of competition. After all, Tokyo Olympics and ParalympicsAlthough it goes back to 2020, it can only happen this year. At the Paralympics, technology was put to the service of the skills of athletes, displaying special equipment for athletes, advanced prosthetics, special wheelchairs and modified bikes. The best example of technology, that at the service of man and that is what is really required; It’s not enough by itself, but it can make a difference.

While the summer of 2021 in Tokyo was the world champion, the Italian tricolor painting gained worldwide fame in all seasons and not only for its sporting merits.
We are honored to honor physicists Alessandra Bonanno e Giorgio Baresi. The first, for his contribution to the study of gravitational waves, was awarded three prizes: the Galileo Galilei Medal, the Dirac Medal, and the 2021 Balzan Prize, and the second was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics for studies of complex systems.

That’s why we celebrate athletes, scientists, researchers and certainly we can’t forget the poets. Or rather, the poet with the greatest privilege. 2021 was the year of the 700th anniversary of his death Dante Alighieri And across the country to publishOn March 25, the scientific world also organized events that brought together the world of literature and the astronomer.

The science that searches

Speaking of astronomy and the surroundings, 2021 was undoubtedly the year of space, with Invasion of Mars Landing on the Red Planet on February 18 for the Perseverance spacecraft. From his technological appearance, he successfully completed the creative small helicopter pictures First powered flight On a planet other than Earth.
It is still so in the context of the early times also of the two flights that officially started space tourism: travel Virgo Galaxy Written by Richard Branson, followed by the release a few days later blue origin by Jeff Bezos.
An experience, the latter, is more special because it appeared in space for the first time Mary Wallace Funk He finally became an astronaut at the age of 82, after waiting for the long-awaited recognition for six decades.

Speaking of space, the year ends with a historic event that saw man conquer another part of the sky, the hottest of all: the sun. Parker Solar Probe NASA has gotten so close to our star — touching its crown, the outermost part of the atmosphere — that no human-made aircraft or object has done so before. It will bring us news and data that will serve as the basis for future scientific research, but this is a story that has yet to be written and told.

We’ve already talked to you about all this and a lot, and there’s still a lot to say, because science progresses relentlessly, preparing itself for new challenges, questions, and tests, and confirms or disproves its hypotheses. After all, the scientific path is exactly this: continuous transformation. And we, together with Technomondo, will try to tell a little about this.
