A new international study reveals that a plasma bubble could be the origin of the persistent emission observed in some fast radio bursts. This new data allows to narrow down the nature of the ‘engine’ found behind these mysterious sources
It has been devised by a research group inspired by natural molecules that use light energy to trigger chemical transformations. The result opens new possibilities for the sustainable synthesis of complex compounds, with potential applications in pharmaceutical chemistry and advanced materials production
The Erasmus+ project ADDress for Future—which also involves the University of Bologna—has launched an online platform offering high-quality training through a series of modules at various levels of depth. There’s even an ideas contest rewarding the most innovative projects that promote greener production through advanced and sustainable solutions
Tens of thousands of distant galaxies, waiting to be classified: this is the new citizen science project presented by ESA’s Euclid mission together with Galaxy Zoo on the Zooniverse platform. Voluntary contributions will train an artificial intelligence algorithm to identify the shape of the hundreds of millions of galaxies that the space telescope will observe over the next six years
‘Growing and Empowering Advanced Technologies in Emilia-Romagna’ is the title of the new call launched thanks to European Funds of the Emilia-Romagna Region (FESR 2021-2027) for the development of solutions with high scientific and technological content in the following fields: Clean, Safe and Accessible Energy, Circular Economy, Innovation in Materials, Digitalisation, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Manufacturing 4.0 and Future Evolutions, Cities and Communities of the Future. The 12 selected projects will receive free services valued at €20,000 each
Following the success of the DART mission, which deflected the trajectory of a pair of asteroids, the results of the data collected before impact have now come in, offering a closer understanding of the formation process and behaviour of these space objects
Genai4lex-b is one of the three winning projects of the call for proposals promoted by the Chamber of Deputies. It will provide support in drafting bills, ensuring a conscious use of innovative technologies for the benefit of society
A number of initiatives and visiting days at the experimental fields in Cadriano promote the four varieties that have achieved all the goals set in terms of yield, fruit quality and size
The area including the Punte Alberete Oasis, the Pialassa Baiona, the Valle della Canna and the San Vitale Pinewood is one of the experimental sites of the ACTION project, which will provide natural based solutions for protecting the ecosystems and ensuring more resilience to climate change
A series of surveys by the Cassini probe has provided new information on the oceans and rivers of Saturn's largest moon, which are made up of a mixture of methane, nitrogen and ethane. The survey is the result of an international collaboration led by scientists from Cornell University and the University of Bologna
The new solar car, presented at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, has 5 square metres of photovoltaic panels on its roof and two in-wheel electric motors that allow it to reach a speed of 120 kilometres per hour
The Horizon Europe ELSA project will use machine learning algorithms to analyse the gigantic archive of images and spectra produced by the European Space Agency (ESA) mission, searching for valuable details hidden among the faintest and rarest galaxies
Research involving the University of Bologna, found that graphene has properties that can control and modulate the activities of astrocytes, a type of brain cell. The work, published in Nature Nanotechnology, has the potential to have positive implications for the study of brain diseases such as epilepsy and stroke
Aluminum alloys produced through additive manufacturing, new carbon fiber-based structures, renewable solutions for solar-powered cars, and the reuse of exhausted vegetable oils in the automotive industry. These are some of the themes that University of Bologna researchers will focus on as part of the PNRR initiative on "Innovative Materials & Lightweighting" from the National Centre for Sustainable Mobility
An Italian research team has discovered for the first time that some species of marine polychaete worms in the Ross Sea are able to withstand Antarctic temperatures thanks to specific antifreeze proteins produced by symbiotic microorganisms living in their tissues
