Noos - L'avventura della conoscenza

The first episode of Noos, the new program conducted by Alberto Angela, kicks off, as per tradition, with spectacular images of nature. Among the guests we will have Harrison Ford, Samantha Cristoforetti who will guide us on an exciting journey into space, Alessandro Barbero, Carlo Lucarelli who will tell the story of Prussian Blue, "the color of the devil", Massimo Polidoro, Emmanuele Jannini, Elisabetta Bernardi, Luca Perri. Particular attention is paid to the theme of the environment: with an immersion in the depths of the Island of Giglio, we will see how a scientific team took care of the marine environment damaged following the sinking of the Costa Concordia. This first episode of Noos also pays special tribute to the memory of a great scientist, Margherita Hack, who passed away ten years ago on 29 June. The field in which Noos operates is very vast and with a particular eye to the future: what will be the new sources of well-being and prosperity?

In the second episode of Noos, the new program hosted by Alberto Angela, we will continue our journey in the Serengeti, the great plain between Kenya and Tanzania. We will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Italian Air Force by meeting the Frecce Tricolori. We will remain in flight with astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti who will tell us about the International Space Station, we will also pay particular attention to the theme of food and we will focus on how to safeguard biodiversity. We will touch on the topic of war, in this case that of Ukraine, and how food and politics are closely connected. These are just some of the topics covered on this occasion, in fact we will also talk about technology and much more.

The third episode of Noos opens with spectacular images of what is considered one of the seven wonders of the animal world: the great migration of one and a half million wildebeests and zebras in the Serengeti plains. We will then go to Genoa at the Italian Institute of Technology and discover the capabilities of a new Robotic Avatar, we will talk about the properties of coffee and the effects on our body, and there will also be experiments by Giuliana Galati and Ruggero Rollini! Thanks to a find in Albano Laziale we could have new information on the life and habits of the soldiers of ancient Rome, the historian Alessandro Barbero instead, will show us the physical characteristics of two great sovereigns. Our journey into space also continues with astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti who will tell us about the Artemis program. We will find out what are the new therapies to treat one of the most common cancers, colon cancer, in an increasingly effective way.

The fourth appointment with Alberto Angela's program begins with extraordinary images in the ice of northern Canada: "Noos - The adventure of knowledge", here a mother bear with her cubs begins a march in search of food to feed herself and her cubs. We will then go to Ravenna to visit one of the state-of-the-art pain therapy departments, then we will talk about food and nutrition, cruise holidays and, with Samantha Cristoforetti, about Mars. Archeology will not be missing, in fact we will see the great engineering works carried out in Ancient Rome, as well as guests, one of these Roberto Cingolani, historical face of "Superquark". There will be a part dedicated to the story with Carlo Lucarelli and we will also try to understand how to avoid wasting water. As always, experiments, curiosities, insights and much more!

The fifth installment of Noos takes us to India, to the splendid protected area of Todoba. Together with Alberto Angela we will follow the story of Maya, a Bengal tiger, mother of three cubs to whom she teaches how to get food and defend themselves from dangers. Maya feeds the puppies with her milk and, speaking of milk, are we sure that for us humans, adults, milk is easily digestible? we will talk about it with Elisabetta Bernardi. Among our habits there is that of sending an email, but where do the millions of wires and cables arrive which, from our router, cross the roads and the depths of the oceans? The internet is a complex world that affects the powerful of the earth, geopolitical expert Dario Fabbri will explain it to us. We will also talk about how, on the web, there are many themes around which conspiracy theories are born, and how these theories already existed in the Paleolithic.

Sixth and final installment of Noos, the new series dedicated to scientific dissemination that takes the place historically occupied by "Superquark". We will see the latest discoveries in the fields of medicine, genetics, neuroscience, biology. But with an eye also to archeology, paleontology, the most important technological, energy and environmental innovations. All always explained in an understandable way by Alberto Angela in the studio with guests and services.
