New Frontiers in Multiscale Modelling of Advanced Materials
Atomistic simulations, based on ab-initio and semi-empirical approaches, are nowadays widespread in many areas of physics, chemistry and, more recently, biology. Improved algorithms and increased computational power widened the areas of application of these computational methods to extended materials of technological interest, in particular allowing unprecedented access to the first-principles investigation of their electronic, optical, thermodynamical and mechanical properties, even where experiments are not available. However, for a big impact on the society, this rapidly growing field of computational approaches to materials science has to face the unfavourable scaling with the system siz...

Nanotechnology and Nanoscience to manage SARS-CoV-2 Variants of Concern
The impact of COVID-19, the infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is ongoing. In the wake of the Delta and Omicron variants – at the time of writing, April 2022, the most impactful and fastest spreading Variants of Concern (VOCs) - it is increasingly apparent that the scientific community must continue striving to mitigate the many clinical and public health management challenges arising from the pandemic.
The Nanomechanics in Italy
Introduction: Looking in the crystal buckyball -- The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry jointly to R.F. Curl, H.W. Kroto and R.E. Smalley for their discovery in 1985 of fullerenes. Looking in the same year in the crystal buckyball one would expect to see the discovery of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). It is in fact common belief that it took place in 1991 thanks to Iijima, who reported in Nature (Nature, 354, 56, 1991) the observation of multi-walled (MW) CNTs. In 1993, in the same issue of Nature, two independent groups, again Iijima with Ichihashi (Nature, 363, 603, 1993) and Bethune et al. (Nature, 363, 605, 1993), reported the observation of single-wal...
3D Stem Cell Culture
Recently, stem cells have been drawing increasing interest in basic and translational research that aims to understand stem cell biology and generate new therapies for various disorders. Many stem cells can be cultured in 2D relatively easily using tissue culture plastic. However, many of these cultures do not represent the natural conditions of stem cells in the body. In the body, microenvironments include numerous supporting cells and molecules. Therefore, researchers and clinicians have sought ideal stem cell preparations for basic research and clinical applications, which may be attainable through 3D culture of stem cells. The 3D cultures mimic the conditions of the natural environment o...
Burn
In order to rescue ourselves from climate catastrophe, we need to radically alter how humans live on Earth. We have to go from spending carbon to banking it. We have to put back the trees, wetlands, and corals. We have to regrow the soil and turn back the desert. We have to save whales, wombats, and wolves. We have to reverse the flow of greenhouse gases and send them in exactly the opposite direction: down, not up. We have to flip the carbon cycle and run it backwards. For such a revolutionary transformation we’ll need civilization 2.0. A secret unlocked by the ancients of the Amazon for its ability to transform impoverished tropical soils into terra preta—fertile black earths—points ...
