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
The professor at the University of Bologna was awarded with the prestigious recognition thanks to a study focusing on business transmission in SMEs and the psychological mechanisms that complicate it
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
As part of the ArcheoNevola project – led by the University of Bologna – a large burial dating back to the 7th century B.C. has been discovered. It contains over 150 objects, including a two-wheeled chariot and a prestigious set of bronze artifacts comprising a helmet, a cauldron, and several finely decorated containers
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
From Olympic champions to university students, as well as workers from all fields: a research group of the University of Bologna fine-tuned a model to measure the factors influencing individual performance. helping organisations focus effectively on orientation, training and personnel development
The lyrics of pop music are at the core of a University of Bologna’s research projects involving young high school students
reAGIAMO(reACT): This is the call to action that this year’s European Night of Research extends to the entire university and city community. It’s the central theme of the evening initiative that, as in every September, opens the doors to science, sharing results, discoveries, and goals yet to be achieved
The scientist, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry in 2020, is known for developing of one of the most advanced tools in genetic technology, will be awarded an honorary degree in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies from the University of Bologna
A special event - organised in collaboration with the U.S. university centers in the city - marked the beginning of the new academic year for over 150 participants, who had the opportunity to feel welcomed and involved in the activities of our University
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
Paediatric neuroblastoma is the leading cause of death among children with cancer. An international research team has discovered the gene that initiates the disease, also identifying a potential therapeutic target
‘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
The six best videos on artificial intelligence, focusing on the opportunities and risks linked to its use in today's world, will be awarded prizes as part of the contest organized for Alma Mater Fest 2024
Developed by researchers from the University of Bologna and Dartmouth College, this consists of an innovative template of the cortical surface, developed based on the anatomy of 1031 human brains, which makes it possible to conduct studies in functional magnetic resonance imaging with less data and a higher level of replicability and reproducibility
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
