Ennio Esposito, well-known neurophysiologist and neuropharmacologist, died suddenly of a heart attack, on October 23, 2011, in Guardiagrele (Chieti). For over 20 years, Ennio Esposito headed the Laboratory of Neurophysiology of the Consorzio Mario Negri Sud in Santa Maria Imbaro (Chieti), a consortium between the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan and the Province of Chieti, created in 1980 with funds from the Agenzia per il Mezzogiorno (Agency for the South ).

Our world is extraordinarily complex, abundant and complicated. It’s fascinating when you discover that physical laws unveil the simple and elegant truths of nature, providing a unified description of natural phenomena. From nature we go on to talk about the idea of “synthesis”: compact algorithms which generate more complex phenomena. This is true for the world we live in but also for our thoughts and the latest studies on artificial intelligence.
An explosion of magnetic energy a third of the way to the moon powers substorms, sudden brightenings and rapid movements of the aurora borealis, called the Northern Lights. The cause is the magnetic reconnection, a common process that occurs throughout the universe when stressed magnetic field lines suddenly turn to a new shape.
Nikola Tesla revolutionized the world of science and technology as we know it today. Sadly, many today do not know of the massive contributions he made.
A simulation of a 300 mile wide asteroid striking the Earth.
An impact with an iron bolide of this size would likely liberate an amount of energy equivalent to many trillions of megatons of TNT, regardless of where it struck. In 1961 the Soviet Union detonated the most powerful nuclear device ever built, a massive city killer called the "Tsar Bomba." It clocked in at "only" about 50 megatons.
