Following the pandemic, the price of raw materials increased dramatically, mainly due to the long period of inactivity that mines were forced to undertake, as well as a sudden economic recovery in countries such as China and the United States.
The EU’s current energy strategy features some strong and some weak points. This inconsistency is mainly due to the insufficient effort invested by the majority of countries who signed the Paris Agreement in reaching decarbonisation targets.
5G is the new connection technology that will soon become widespread. It is already operative in major Italian cities and should be available throughout Italy within the next few years. Switching to 5G means having access to greater band width and much shorter response times.
User Behaviour Analytics, or UBA, is an IT security system which, unlike firewalls and antivirus software, focuses on the specific activity of single users. Rather than analysing system logs or perimeter events, this technology is able to build a profile for each individual user and identify any abnormal behaviours.
Working in space is certainly a fascinating prospect, but when it comes to the food served inside zero gravity space vehicles, astronauts often complain about the taste. This is due to the fact that meals have to be freeze-dried in order to minimise their size and weight and to ensure a longer shelf-life.
The energy label is a very useful tool which allows customers to benefit from extra guidance when purchasing household appliances. It contains precise, detailed information on the device’s energy consumption, as well as other important data, which can result in significant savings over time.
ICS or Industrial Control System is a generic term used in production. It refers to the combination of hardware and software with network connectivity in order to support critical infrastructures. It can vary in size according to requirements, ranging from models with just a few modular controls on a single panel to large interconnected, interactive control systems.
The term carbon free refers to a balance between the residual emissions produced by human activity and effective strategies to remove the carbon dioxide which is released into the atmosphere. In order to achieve carbon neutrality, the overall difference between these two elements must be zero. Achieving this equilibrium is no easy task.
As a result of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, more and more companies are turning to smart working. This new business approach has obliged those involved in IT to make some specific, radical changes.
Chiplets are electronic components, or dies, whose properties enable the creation of smaller calculation systems, with more efficient communication and reduced production costs. Due to these features, they are now considered the future of the CPU sector.
2021 looks like it will be a rather difficult year for IT security and the ongoing pandemic seems to be the root cause; with the spread of Covid-19, many companies have had to turn to smart working, as they were obliged to implement this option in order to continue trading, but at the same time this has led to increased risks associated with web use.
Climate change is an ever-present problem which is gradually getting worse, due in no small part to the collective failure to meet certain globally established targets. The first tangible data is the fact that 2020 has been one of the warmest years ever recorded.
