Renewable communities are urban centres based on environmental sustainability, where energy is produced from renewable sources and shared among all the inhabitants. This serves to reduce atmospheric emissions of harmful pollutants and protect citizens’ wellbeing.
The future of computational calculation is undoubtedly quantum computing; this new technology has been under development for almost twenty years and is (finally) approaching market launch. According to a recent report, this should happen no later than 2030 and so more and more companies are starting to take an interest in it.
Public key infrastructure, or PKI, is a new technology, designed to increase the remote access security of apps and other resources. Compared to traditional login methods using an ID and password or multi-factor identification (MFA), it is a lot less vulnerable and more difficult to breach.
In recent years, Italy has witnessed a tangible increase in renewable energy investment. The search for alternative sources has become more urgent due to both the global raw materials crisis and Italy’s genuine need to achieve energy independence.
The role of Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) in guaranteeing the quality, security and performance of the net is becoming increasingly essential. These infrastructures have already been operating for some years and form a crucial part of the complex system which permits data exchange among different ISPs (Internet Service Providers).
The introduction of industrial IoT solutions (Internet of Things for businesses) is set to be the driving force behind the transition towards more sustainable production in the immediate future. That was the conclusion of a recent study entitled ‘Billions of better decisions: industrial transformation’s new imperative’, which involved a cross-section of international companies from different sectors.
The Digital Markets Act or DMA is a document put together by the European Union and currently still under review, which should come into force from October 2022. In brief, its main objective is to protect users and free up online competition, by offering an open but secure digital space.
Alternatives to gas have gradually become a necessity, especially in light of the current global energy crisis and its unavoidable, ongoing repercussions.
A few months ago, a study was carried out to investigate the carbon storage capacity of various land and marine habitats. Its aim was to improve understanding of how much individual ecosystems contribute towards mitigating the carbon dioxide load released into the atmosphere every day due to human activity.
In the last few years, the refrigeration industry has carried out extensive research into alternative refrigerants able to meet the urgent need to reduce harmful emissions appropriately. This is a result of the fact that pollution caused by equipment such as air conditioning systems and refrigerators has, over time, become such a big problem that it can no longer be ignored or, much less, under-estimated.
The European Union’s planned action on climate seemed solid and robust when the Commission made the commitment to allocate at least 20% of its available balance for 2014-2020 to initiatives focusing on safeguarding the environment and developing more sustainable technologies and production methods.
A few days ago the Leonardo supercomputer was inaugurated in Bologna: a unique machine of its kind, capable of achieving 240 million billion operations per second (an amount comparable to the activities performed by 8 billion people, working in unison every second for an entire year). Small interesting detail: the supercomputer is cooled by equipment selected by our Unit Selector HYBRID software, and designed with UNILAB COILS!
