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?

About six hundred meters from the walls of the ancient city of Pompeii, in what was once its countryside, archaeologists are working on the remains of a large villa in the archaeological site of Civita Giuliana. "Noos" illustrates one of the most important excavations of recent years and not yet open to the public where unique finds in the world have been discovered. The cover of the episode is dedicated to aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery, a much-discussed and very current topic. Doctor Emanuele Bartoletti of the Isola Tiberina - Gemelli Isola Hospital in Rome and President of the Italian Society of Aesthetic Medicine, and psychoanalyst and writer Massimo Recalcati, who also talks about the fragilities that hide behind the obsession with physical fitness, talk about it. A large page is dedicated to Artificial Intelligence and its applications, especially in the medical field, which offer doctors new diagnostic possibilities for identifying tumors in the early stages.

There's been much talk about climate change and rising temperatures. What will be the most immediate consequences we'll see in Italy and around the world? In this episode of "Noos – The Adventure of Knowledge," Alberto Angela and climatologist Giulio Boccaletti discuss the most urgent interventions needed to adapt our country to weather phenomena that are very different from the past. Then, with physicist Roberto Cingolani, they'll discuss the essential choices needed to slow global warming and prevent future generations from facing crises far more serious than the current one. Directly from the Italian Air Force's operational bases, Alberto Angela will meet with an F35 pilot in the studio to learn how she chose this career path, what kind of training led her to become one of Italy's Top Guns, and what technologies characterize the F35.

In this new episode Alberto Angela guides us to discover the Egyptian Museum of Turin, which this year celebrates two hundred years since its foundation, to discover the secrets kept in the most important collection of treasures outside of Egypt. Director Christian Greco illustrates all the upcoming innovations that the museum is preparing to celebrate its important anniversary. Alberto Angela then talks about dinosaurs together with the young paleontologist Alessandro Chiarenza, to discuss not only the latest discoveries on their fossils but also some surprising details on the appearance of dinosaurs, very different from those seen in the films. Important news for those suffering from genetic diseases such as thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. In a report filmed at the Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital in Rome, prof. Franco Locatelli illustrates a revolutionary and very promising experiment capable of correcting the genome of diseased cells.

Alberto Angela goes to Pompei to discover a construction site from two thousand years ago, which was buried under the ash of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. and recently brought to light by the excavations of the archaeological park in Regio IX. Also in the studio was an exceptional guest: the director of the Archaeological Park Gabriel Zuchtriegel. From the past to the future, a mirage that is now becoming a reality: the anti-cancer vaccine, based on the same technology as the "mRna" vaccines used against Covid, illustrating for which types of tumors it is being tested and what the hopes are for the future. We then move to where the most promising Olympic athletes train, discovering the technical innovations underlying the training of champions such as Marcell Jacobs, Gian Marco Tamberi, Simona Quadarella.

An important archaeological novelty and an important scientific novelty are the protagonists of the episode. With Alberto Angela we go to the territories of ancient Liternum, a city linked to one of the most famous characters in Roman history: Publius Cornelius Scipione, known as Scipione the Africanus, and which today is located in the municipality of Giugliano, in the province of Naples, for follow the opening of a sarcophagus found in the tomb of Cerberus, where a burial chamber dating back over two thousand years was found with all its treasures intact. We then talk about the promising experimentation on neurotrophins, the molecules discovered over seventy years ago by Nobel Prize winner Rita Levi Montalcini. At the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome, Prof. Antonio Chiaretti has started research that uses neurotrophins to treat brain damage in children who have suffered serious trauma.
