Governments are introducing them to promote clean energy production and encourage the spread of electric vehicles, but paradoxically, they might end up generating negative environmental effects. UniboMagazine discussed this topic with Alessandro Tavoni, professor at the Department of Economics at the University of Bologna, and one of the authors of a piece on the subject published in the journal Science
The first edition of the “Literary Walks”, organised by the Department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies of the University of Bologna, will unveil the deep connection between the city of Bologna and the two writers. Museums and libraries will be the stops on a journey aimed at enriching the social and cultural life of the citizens
Thanks to an international collaboration established at the University of Bologna, a theoretical framework has been devised for the first time to define the non-equilibrium characteristics of any chemical reaction network. This result opens way to developing new systems with life-like properties, among which energy storing, and next-generation nanotechnologies
The symposium, organised by the University of Bologna and the São Paulo Research Foundation, will gather Italian and Brazilian scientists in the name of research and technological innovation. The aim is to strengthen the bond between the two nations and promote new multidisciplinary collaboration opportunities
Alongside the Apis mellifera ligustica, a native subspecies fundamental for beekeeping, some traces of Carniolan honeybee, Africanized bee and European black bee have been identified too. This was revealed by the first study on genetic diversity of honeybee populations in the Emilia-Romagna region. Results can help us preserve the Apis mellifera ligustica subspecies from genetic erosion
The new Interreg Italy-Croatia project, involving the University of Bologna, will develop tools to better understand the complex interactions of climate change along the Adriatic coast
These freely accessible online resources were developed thanks to NEW ABC, a Horizon 2020 project coordinated by the University of Bologna. The researchers collaborated with schools, associations, local institutions and ONGs to build and test innovative practices and methodologies in formal, informal and non-formal learning environments
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
