Superquark
Season 25 Episode 1 - Bilingualism, robots in the operating room, and nuclear fusion
With Alberto Angela, we'll explore Bologna, a city on water. A journey through the Emilian capital, which, thanks to the clever exploitation of this precious resource, rarely found in the region, has managed to be one of Europe's most important cities for three centuries and home to the first university. Bilingualism leads to changes in the brain that have surprising consequences. In fact, learning a second language has proven beneficial not only for its obvious advantages in work and life, but also for improving memory and significantly delaying neurological degeneration, and thus problems like dementia and Alzheimer's. Can robots in the operating room be considered the new frontier of surgery? But how does one become a surgeon with a robot assistant? Superquark went to Forlì Hospital, one of Italy's centers of excellence, to see how robots are entering the healthcare world, from operating rooms to wards.
