Gecko vs Lotus: Super-Adhesive or Anti-adhesive Bio-inspired Nanomaterials

Several animals, such as insects, spiders and geckos have developed fascinating nano-architectures in order to maximize and control adhesion. Adhesion-prevention solutions are also suggested by nature: peculiar plant leaves, such as the famous lotus, are able to prevent insect adhesion, again thanks to nano-architectures, even if insects evolved in order to maximize adhesion. The replication

TETI: Integrated technologies for sustainable management of underwater cultural heritage

Four out of five parts of the world are underwater and sea also acts as a jealous custodian of the traces of human evolution. Today, technology can have unfortunate consequences on this wellestablished equilibrium, allowing people to destroy in few years what has been sleeping in the deep for centuries. We must save our past,

HASEW: Household Appliance System with Equipped Walls

Three quarters of the global population are predicted to live in urban areas by 2050. Shortcomings of natural resources and increasing demand of user-friendly domotics make the design of innovative home environments imperative. The goal goes far beyond collecting different appliances, each independently designed. The real challenge is to design a synergic home environment in
