Printing connections to the brain

The dream to connect a brain with a computer has roots in the past, first part of science fiction and more recently morphing into real science and technology. There are many aspects involved in this connection from sensing to understanding (brain to computer) and from coding to reaching the right …

Rolling out your personal 5G radio cell

5G is going to provide very high capacity, reaching 1Gbps in favourable situations, but this higher capacity is dependent on the use of millimetre waves (in the tens of GHz), and the reason is not in any magic coding, rather in the huge spectrum that can be associated to very …

Getting 5G in your sweater

5G is going to be a sort of umbrella connecting a variety of things using different frequencies and different protocols. IoT will be part of the 5G “ecosystems” and the evolution of materials and production processes promises to extend the range of objects that can be IoT, by embedding electronics, …
