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
The device is miniaturized and highly sensitive and it can monitor the cell adhesion process at the level of single cells. There are numerous possible applications in the biomedical field
Discovered while following the growth of a group of infants in Bangladesh, these bacteria can ferment both oligosaccharides from breast milk and fibre from solid foods, and their abundance in the gut increases when the infants' diet is diversified
It is the 64th species of Legionella identified in the world, the second to be isolated in Italy. It was discovered during planned surveillance activities in a hotel by scientists from the Laboratory of Environmental Microbiology and Molecular Biology (MAb) of the University of Bologna
Funded under the Italian plan of Next Generation EU (PNRR), the initiative will develop knowledge, research, and innovative technologies to bring the country’s National Health System into the contemporary era of Precision Medicine. The University of Bologna is leading one of eight operational units focused on using large-scale data to promote precision medicine in diagnostics and therapeutics
