About Novaverum

Last updated

Novaverum looks at new and future technology and asks the plain questions: how does it work, what does it cost, can you buy it yet, and is the video you saw real?

Who writes this site?

I'm Marcos Salles, and I write and edit every page here. I lived in the United States for five years, and I write Novaverum in English for readers who love new technology but are tired of hype, renders sold as products and viral videos that turn out to be fake.

I'm not an engineer, and I don't ask you to take my word for anything. Every article is built from what can be checked: the company's own product pages and press releases, regulators and public records, and the research behind a new device. The sources are listed at the end of each article, so you can read them yourself.

What will you find here?

  • Home and robots: machines built to take over chores, from laundry to cleaning, and how close they are to your home.
  • Future transport: jet suits, air taxis, flying cars and new vehicles, and who can ride or buy one today.
  • Wearables and gadgets: smart glasses, exoskeletons and new personal devices.
  • Reality checks: viral gadgets and too-good-to-be-true tech, checked against company records and the physics.

Each article opens with a short, direct answer, then explains the details.

How are the articles made?

I use AI tools to help with research and first drafts. Before anything is published, I read the original sources, check every price, date and specification against them, and edit the text myself. A concept or a render is called a concept, and a rumor is called a rumor. Headlines describe what the article actually says; there is no clickbait here.

When a company changes a price, a date or a plan, the article is updated and the date at the top changes. You can read the full method on the How we write page.

Where do the images come from?

Images come from free libraries such as Wikimedia Commons, used under their license terms, or from press kits that companies publish for editorial use. Each one is credited under the picture. We never use screenshots of the viral videos we check.

How is the site paid for?

Novaverum may show ads served by Google. Advertisers never choose topics, review articles or influence what is written. There are no sponsored posts, no affiliate links and no free products in exchange for coverage.
