The spread of different forms of remote work not only changes the individual worker’s life, but can also have profound impacts on society, economy, and territorial development. The new European project REMAKING - coordinated by the University of Bologna - will investigate these changes through participatory research in various urban and rural areas, including the Metropolitan City of Bologna
In an article published in the journal Nature, an international group of researchers, led by the National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF), including researchers from the University of Bologna, analysed the composition of the ejecta plume expelled from the asteroid Dimorphos following the explosive impact
An international study, published in Frontiers in Science with the collaboration of the University of Bologna, describes the development of an innovative virtual model that, for the first time, replicates the water cycle on earth by integrating high-resolution satellite observations
Led by The Building and Construction Cluster of the Emilia-Romagna Region - CIRI EC of the University of Bologna, the project aims to advance the regional production sector through research and innovation, while advocating for the effective utilization of renewable sources.
"Assessing Alpine and Apennine mountain-front recharge to Po Plain alluvial aquifers: an essential for supporting sustainable management of groundwater resources" is the title of the project created by the partnership between the University of Bologna and the University of Milano-Bicocca, within the framework of the Projects of Relevant National Interest (PRIN) 2022 financed by the European Union - Next Generation EU
A cherry variety from the Sweet Series, developed through research conducted by the University of Bologna, is set to launch in the Asian market
After overcoming a problem caused by the interference of a small amount of unwanted sunlight, ESA’s space telescope will measure the shape of billions of galaxies with unprecedented detail over billions of years of cosmic history, to obtain a three-dimensional view of the distribution of dark matter in the Universe. The University of Bologna is participating in the mission with the Department of Physics and Astronomy “Augusto Righi”
Surrounding HL Tauri, a star in the Constellation Taurus, there is at least three times as much water as Earth's oceans in a region where gas and dust can accumulate, thus initiating the process of planet formation
The University of Bologna is one of the partners of the new European PREMIO COLLAB project, which aims to extend patient survival and improve quality of life by testing the effectiveness of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT), one of the most innovative nuclear medicine tests for the diagnosis and monitoring of cancer
The POWHER project, funded under the NRRP as a Research Project of National Interest (PRIN – MUR), aims to use an often neglected resource in an innovative way, laying the foundations for new, efficient energy generation solutions
One out of four wooden tablets with inscriptions in Rongorongo may predate the arrival of the first European ships in the 1720s. This discovery - made by two research groups of the University of Bologna - could indicate the presence, on the remote Pacific Ocean Island, of one of the few independent writing inventions in human history
An international group of researchers has compared artificial neural network systems with human cognitive mechanisms, revealing that AI is currently an inadequate model for understanding how our brain analyses faces in motion
Called "Bifidobacterium longum subsp. iuvenis", this new group of bifidobacteria arises during infant weaning and possesses the unique ability to ferment both oligosaccharides from breast milk and fibers derived from solid foods. This discovery could lead to new diets and targeted foods to promote healthy growth in children
Three major studies published by Nature and promoted by the researchers of the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative throw light on the role and functioning of forests at global level, among alien invasions, carbon dioxide absorption capacity and possible impacts of climate change
Like other addictions such as gambling or alcoholism, workaholics don't necessarily experience greater pleasure during work; instead, they often carry a lingering negative emotional tone throughout the day. This is a condition that significantly impacts health, psychological well-being and relationships with family and friends
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'
