Seven European partners - including universities and research centres - will collaborate to develop low-energy digital systems through reversible computing
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
