Produced by five PhD students from the University of Bologna’s International PhD College, the podcast examines artificial intelligence from multiple perspectives and reflects on its role in politics, science and everyday life
The University of Bologna deep-tech spin-off is set to validate a technology in space that is recognised as a strategic priority for Europe
Thanks to the synergy between chemistry and aerospace engineering, the compact analytical device is ready for the first microgravity experiments with astronaut Sophie Adenot
New data from NASA’s Juno mission and the Hubble Space Telescope have enabled scientists to determine the planet’s shape with an uncertainty of just 0.4 kilometres: the gas giant’s radius is 8 kilometres smaller than previous estimates suggested
Seven European partners - including universities and research centres - will collaborate to develop low-energy digital systems through reversible computing
Signal-free junctions navigated seamlessly by vehicles that communicate with one another: the demonstration coordinated by the University of Bologna has won an award within the framework of the PNRR-funded Restart programme
Successfully tested in animal models, a new-generation drug has achieved complete disease regression in models of neuroblastoma and rhabdomyosarcoma, as well as colon cancer. The key lies in antibody–drug conjugates, which can recognise tumour cells and target them with a chemotherapy molecule designed to act selectively
Designed, built and tested by a research group at the University of Bologna, it is the only nanomotor in the world able to reverse its direction of rotation simply by changing the colour of the light source that powers it
People who are guided mainly by predictive cues risk making ineffective decisions even when experience shows there are better alternatives. This is the mechanism highlighted by a study conducted at the University of Bologna’s Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience (Cesena Campus)
The analysis of the ancient artefacts preserved in the “Luigi Cattaneo” Anatomical Wax Collection of the University of Bologna has revealed a new perspective on the material and symbolic culture of the 19th century, including religious motifs and themes of a personal, amorous and erotic nature
Some fossil remains discovered near Casablanca, dating back to around 773,000 years ago, may belong to an African population that lies at the base of the evolutionary trajectory from which the most recent human species, including our own, originated
