La ricerca del progetto NODES al Meeting Annuale del Capitolo Italiano della European Society of Biomechanics e sul Journal of Biomechanics
I ricercatori di NEWBREATH al congresso del Capitolo Italiano della European Society of Biomechanics. Dal 18 giugno al 19 giugno scorsi i membri Italiani del Capitolo Italiano della European Society of Biomechanics si sono riuniti a Palermo per il loro congresso annuale, il principale evento Italiano per esperti nel settore della biomeccanica: l'ESB-ITA2025. All'evento hanno partecipato i giovani ricercatori guidati dal Prof. Alberto Audenino, dalla Prof.ssa Mara Terzini e dal Dr. Simone Borrelli, i quali hanno colto l'occasione per divulgare gli ultimi risultati delle attività di ricerca svolte nell'ambito di NEWBREATH, il Research Module 4 di TINCARE che mira a sviluppare un dispositivo di ventilazione per il supporto dei pazienti in ambiente domiciliare.  In particolare, è stato presentato il lavoro dal titolo ''Optimization of Non-Invasive Ventilation Interfaces: Experimental Insights into Reducing CO2 Rebreathing''. che riguarda lo studio dell'accumulo di Anidride Carbonica all'interno di interfacce di tipo casco e maschera comunemente utilizzate nell'erogazione non invasiva di terapia ventilatoria. Lo studio ha permesso di identificare le interfacce a maggior rischio di accumulo, e di proporre design innovativi che permettono la riduzione di questo fenomeno, aumentando così la sicurezza per il paziente ventilato.    L'analisi delle interfacce per la ventilazione non invasiva pubblicata anche sul Journal of Biomechanics. Proprio in concomitanza con l'evento, è stato pubblicato sulla rivista d'elezione per la comunità della biomeccanica, il Journal of Biomechanics, l'articolo scientifico che approfondisce questo tema, e che può essere consultato gratuitamente (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021929025003380?via%3Dihub). Le giornate di Palermo e la pubblicazione su questa importante rivista scientifica rappresentato un ulteriore stimolo alla prosecuzione della ricerca e hanno favorito la condivisione dei risultati con la comunità della biomeccanica respiratoria, in Italia e all'estero.

Waste valorisation and upcycling: success for the 8th Round GRIP stop in Novara
The afternoon of Monday, 30 June 2025 saw the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Eastern Piedmont play host to the eighth stop of Round GRIP - Spoke 2, the cycle of meetings dedicated to the exchange between research, innovation and enterprise promoted as part of the NODES Ecosystem. 📍 The focus of the event was the Research Module 2 (RM2) of the GRIP project, dedicated to innovative solutions for waste-to-energy and upcycling processes: a concrete opportunity to learn more about sustainable practices and frontier experiences. After the institutional greetings, participants were treated to a series of speeches dedicated to the NODES Ecosystem, the role of Spoke 2 and the specific challenges faced by the RM2, including industrial context, critical issues and technological opportunities. 💬 The voice of business took centre stage in the second part of the afternoon: through thematic working tables, companies and researchers discussed experiences, needs and potential areas of collaboration.   The day ended with a moment of restitution and networking, confirming Round GRIP's mission: to build solid and lasting connections between the world of research and the entrepreneurial fabric, in a sustainable and territorial key.   🔄 Next stop? Coming soon! The Round GRIP journey continues, with the aim of enhancing local expertise and strengthening the synergy between innovation and sustainability. 🚀

Digital Twin - la Città di Torino in virtuale
Un gemello in Comune - Spoke 1 NODES e il Digital Twin di Torino All’interno di Spoke 1 NODES, a partire dal lavoro del Dipartimento Interateneo di Scienze, Progetto e Politiche del Territorio del Politecnico di Torino e dell'Università di Torino si sviluppa il Digital Twin della Città di Torino.   Il Digital Twin è (ri)costruito partendo da 32mila fotogrammi e scansioni LiDAR, precise al centimetro. Una grandissima mole di dati presi da terra e dall’alto, la cui combinazione permette di creare un modello tridimensionale estremamente realistico, con l’aspetto e le proporzioni della città, in grande dettaglio. Il gemello digitale di Torino sarà utilizzato dall’amministrazione della Città per capire le necessità della città più in fretta, per pianificare efficacemente sia interventi urgenti che policy e progetti futuri. Il modello è infatti uno strumento ideale per supportare i decisori, a servizio dei cittadini.   Al momento, è possibile scoprire il modello presso Il Museo dell’Automobile di Torino con l’iniziativa “Spazio Futuro”, che offre uno sguardo sulle trasformazioni in atto per la mobilità sostenibile sulle possibili traiettorie del futuro.
