The promise of smart cities is tantalizing: efficiency, sustainability, and technology at the service of human well-being. But, at the heart of this futuristic vision, beats a monumental problem. The energy supply that can sustain these technologically advanced metropolises is, at present, the great stumbling block. Solar panels that don’t work at night, expensive and

The race to deliver ever-increasing speeds on the Internet seems like a never-ending spectacle. Promises of 1 Gbps and above are beginning to be common currency among service providers. However, in the midst of this escalation of figures, a crucial question arises: do we really need that much? Bandwidth and its myths By: Gabriel E.

In an age where romance seems to have become a game of swiping right, dating apps have redefined the way people look for a partner. But under the promise of immediate connections, a disturbing phenomenon emerges: swiping addiction. Not only does this behavior transform love into a disposable product, but it also questions our ability

In a world where urbanization is advancing by leaps and bounds, some cities have emerged as leaders in the integration of technology and sustainability to improve the quality of life of their inhabitants. According to the Smart City Index 2024, prepared by the International Institute for Management Development (IMD), Zurich tops the list, followed by

In an unexpected but telling move, more than 115,000 users of X (formerly Twitter) deactivated their accounts the day after the U.S. presidential election. This mass migration not only marks a milestone in the history of the platform under the direction of Elon Musk, but also paves the way for the rise of its most

Hidden under miles of water, undersea cables carry 97% of global communications, connecting continents and transmitting terabits of crucial information. However, recent military manoeuvres near strategic points have sparked international alarm: could these infrastructures, invisible pillars of the global economy and defence, become the next target of a world war? The threat of an intentional

Cities face urgent challenges: mobility, energy, security. In response, neural networks, inspired by the human brain, promise to become the “thinking” of smart cities, analyzing data in real time to make decisions and anticipate problems. This revolution promises efficiency, but it poses serious ethical and privacy dilemmas. How can neural networks transform cities? By: Gabriel

Piracy has evolved at the pace of technology, infiltrating digital platforms, communication networks and every corner where content is king. From film to music, software and literature, intellectual property faces an unstoppable global threat with new faces. Artificial intelligence (AI), in its ability to analyse large volumes of data and detect hidden patterns, is a

A group of researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden announced a revolutionary breakthrough in the fight against cancer: nanorobots that detect and eliminate cancer cells in mice with near-surgical precision, aided by Artificial Intelligence. The Precision of Nanotechnology in Medicine: A Route with Antecedents By: Gabriel E. Levy B, Ever since nanotechnology burst into

The promise of a future governed by artificial intelligence has ceased to be science fiction and has become a reality that shapes our lives.  In this scenario, Frank Pasquale issues a crucial warning in his book “The New Laws of Robotics”: machines no longer only perform mechanical tasks, but also influence decisions that affect health,
