Our cities are filled with an invisible landscape of networks. This project explores the invisible terrain of WiFi networks in urban spaces by light painting signal strength in long-exposure photographs. A four-metre long measuring rod with 80 points of light reveals cross-sections through WiFi networks using a photographic technique called light-painting.

Two waves of solar material blown out by powerful sun eruptions n this week are hitting the Earth now, and could amplify the aurora displays for observers in northern regions. Good chances in Ålesund as well!

It's here! The Coronal Mass Ejection launched by the X1.6 solar flare that occured two days has arrived at the ACE satellite. It passed ACE at 15:31 UTC which means the CME arrived right on time!

Agira, una sensazionale scoperta: rinvenuta una tomba del periodo pre-greco. Un patrimonio storico e una scoperta di valore inestimabile.

Gli "Mpanatigghi", dei dolci molto simiili alla Cassatella di Agira, ripieni con carne. E' un dolce di Modica che somiglia alle più famose cassatelle agirine.

An idea dear to classical science fiction could soon become a reality accessible to everybody. These incredible 3D holograms make Star Wars sci-fi tech a reality. Talking to people who are far away by looking at their clear 3D image in front of us is the new opportunity offered by the project called “Holographic telepresence” developed by the National Institute of Optics of the National Research Council (INO-CNR) and the company Quintetto of Pont-Saint-Martin, near Aosta, Italy.

Because of the influence of small or absent land masses in the vast stretches of the ocean, lightning is notably less frequent here in Ålesund than over larger landforms. However there are exceptions. In fact, last night an incredible number of lightning and electrostatic discharges took place in Ålesund, almost like an electric storm! Here some photos of such an exceptional night.

I am very glad to represent Aalesund University College at the Proceedings of the 5th IEEE RAS/EMBS International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BioRob2014), here in São Paulo, Brazil. My presentation will be on Friday, August 15 and I am really looking forward to present ModGrasp.
