A new dataset from the ESA space telescope has been released. It includes the large-scale organisation of hundreds of thousands of galaxies along the cosmic web, along with the first classification of over 380,000 galaxies and 500 possible gravitational lenses
By analysing the cases of more than 1,700 patients who experienced an NSTEMI myocardial infarction, a research team led by scientists from the University of Bologna has identified a new threshold value for troponin, a protein found in heart muscle cells, which could allow doctors to adopt more targeted strategies to reduce post-angioplasty complications
In the latest edition of the prestigious international ranking, the University of Bologna holds the highest number of top positions at the national level and is among the world's top 50 in 6 subjects
Alice Caporale, Alessia Cantelmi, and Silvia Turci were recognised for their contribution to safety, sustainability, and inclusion in the world of work
Conceived by the UniBoAT team from the Department of Industrial Engineering, the motor employs counter-rotating and tractor propellers—an innovative and sustainable solution for maritime transportation
The bacterial communities that live on tree canopies are fundamental to promote plant growth and their resistance to environmental stresses, but the effects of global change could alter this delicate balance
The new ESG4PMChange Erasmus + project, in which the Department of Management at the University of Bologna is involved, aims to enhance the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into training courses for professionals working in project management within organisations
The new INRES project, funded by the Italian Science Fund (FIS 2), will analyse how the institutional structures of 44 important Mesopotamian settlements evolved in response to one of the main historical climate change events, which occurred more than 4,000 years ago—a model that can also be applied to today’s crises
Thanks to the Erasmus+ CBHE "GreenTraINT" Project Coordinated by Alma Mater, Academic Training and Practical Experience for Future Professionals in the Agri-Food, Livestock, and Biodiversity Conservation Sectors, Aiming for a More Sustainable Future
The tree is the defining feature of the Botanic Garden of Bologna, with its 32 metres in height and almost 5 metres in circumference. It has shown signs of ageing and a delicate balance with the surrounding environment: a group of scholars from the University of Bologna will take care of it thanks to a unique research initiative in Europe
NanoFenretinide, a formulation developed by a research group from the University of Bologna, has shown promising results against diffuse midline glioma, a tumour affecting children between the ages of 5 and 10
WET – Water-based Electric Thrusters, the new European project coordinated by the University of Bologna, will study the fundamental processes that regulate the formation and behaviour of plasma generated from water in order to attain the goal of designing an electric powertrain capable of propelling spacecraft
A PhD student in Physics, he will represent the University in the European selection of the 3MT Competition, an academic challenge to deliver the most compelling presentation of a research project in just 180 seconds
Streamlining the management of expenses for scientific publications, strategic planning for Departments 2025/2027, the University of Bologna covering TPER fare increases, and amendments to the Regulations for student representative elections at Alma Mater are among the topics discussed in the meetings of the University’s Governing Bodiess in February
This russet apple, named after its distinctive golden hue, offers a sweet-sour fresh and pleasant taste. It was created by crossing Renetta Grigia di Torriana and GoldRush
The ESA mission, in which the University of Bologna participates, has discovered that the galaxy NGC 6505 acts as a gravitational lens, diverting light from another far more distant galaxy: the result is a distorted image of the latter. This phenomenon, known as gravitational lensing, allows the study of invisible dark matter through its influence on the slightly deformed images of billions of galaxies
