An extensive international and multidisciplinary research has analysed the evolutionary history of our feet, comparing their complex structure with that of our ancestors, highlighting the relevance of factors such as footwear type and lifestyle, and addressing the complex issue of 'flat feet'
The TESI project (Training and Education in Social Innovation), which was coordinated by the University of Bologna, initiated an innovative transnational network and implemented a strategy and action plan for the development of a joint Master in Social Innovation
Observed in the young Universe (1.25 billion years after the Big Bang), thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, it has a stellar mass similar to that of the Milky Way and has already finished forming stars. Its characteristics shed light on the birth of spheroidal galaxies and the connection with massive black holes
The measurement took place on "kagome materials", new quantum materials revolutionising quantum physics due to their magnetic, topological, and superconducting properties. The results obtained could foster new applications in various technological fields, from renewable energy to biomedicine, from electronics to quantum computers
The occurrence and intensity of the most frequently encountered side effects - such as fatigue, muscle pain, headaches and injection site pain - are significantly correlated with fears, expectations and beliefs about the vaccine
An international research team led by scholars from the University of Bologna and INAF (National Institute for Astrophysics) has shown that ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) are present in several active galactic nuclei. UFOs are powerful streams of gas travelling at speeds close to that of light and that could fuel the process of stars formation
Developed by scientists from the University of Bologna and the University of Genoa, the new technology makes it possible to map at high resolution the presence of collagen, the protein that is essential for carrying out radiocarbon dating. It will then be possible to strategically sample artifacts, identifying suitable fragments and areas for analysis
An international study led by researchers from the University of Bologna and IRCCS AOU S.Orsola Bologna shows that, one year later, gastrointestinal symptoms and diagnoses of irritable bowel syndrome increase among those hospitalized after contracting coronavirus
The new European project coordinated by the University of Bologna will develop advanced robotic systems controlled by artificial intelligence that will be able to learn the skills needed to interact with people, objects and the environment
For the first time, scientists observed the undebatable traces of the cosmic magnetism that is generated, at the periphery of galaxy clusters and cosmic filaments, when massive masses of plasma come towards the cosmic web
Within the European ALCYONE project, scientists will design a highly versatile analytical system to carry out biological experiments on prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell cultures exposed to space environment, and they will use it in small satellites during robotic or manned missions
The frontier research project funded by the European Research Council and led by Alessandro Tavoni, professor at the Department of Economics of the University of Bologna, will develop strategies to promote positive changes that can spread across society
A study on a sample of the Italian population shows that regular coffee drinkers have lower peripheral and central aortic blood pressure. These results confirm the benefits of coffee in the mitigation of the risk of cardiovascular disease
A study monitoring the entire population of the province of Pescara for eighteen months confirms that COVID-19 vaccines are not associated with an increased risk of adverse events
