The plant, which originated in South America and which has now disappeared from our country, arrived in Italy at the end of the 16th Century, decades earlier than previously thought: a discovery made possible thanks to the heritage of Renaissance herbaria kept by the University of Bologna
A study led by scientists at the University of Bologna has uncovered new insights into how the brain regulates automatic imitation - a behaviour that underlies many complex social interactions. The findings could lead to therapeutic applications for patients with neurological impairments and social dysfunction
Faculty and technical administrative staff embarked on an institutional visit to the St. Francis University College of Health and Allied Sciences in Ifakara, a Tanzanian city that has become a research hub focused on healthcare. The visit aimed to strengthen relationships, exchange programmes, and collaborate on the launch of a new professional master's programme in Medicine and Surgery, fostering international cooperation
Digitisation, artificial intelligence, green revolution: these were the focal points of the international training week titled “Old and New Challenges for Librarians,” organised by the University of Bologna. The event brought together twenty-eight librarians from as many universities across nineteen countries
A research group at the University of Bologna has demonstrated that when we move our arms, very similar neural states are activated in three areas of the posterior parietal cortex, but with different results with respect to the accuracy of the movement target decoding process. The results could be useful for the development of prostheses in direct communication with the brain
The study, conducted by cross-referencing data from 19 scientific studies, involving over 20,000 individuals, shows an efficacy rate of over 50% in reducing disease cases, with lasting effects and a high safety profile
Fifteen species of elasmobranchs are in danger of extinction. To support their conservation in the Mediterranean, the EU is funding the LIFE PROMETHEUS project with 4.3 million euros, involving twenty-one partners, including the University of Bologna
The latest innovations have been presented for the Nemesi electric motorcycle, the Athena electric car with the autonomous driving, the combustion car that will become a hybrid, and Futura, the new hydrogen-powered catamaran
Rector Giovanni Molari, the Mayor of Cesena Enzo Lattuca and Campus President Massimo Cicognani, were among the attendees at the inauguration
The prestigious award has been granted to Alberto Vitale Brovarone, Professor at the Department of Biological, Geological, and Environmental Sciences, for his research on the deep cycles of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and the connections between deep geological processes and the origin of life
After a fiercely contested final against the Croatian team from Zagreb, the University of Bologna team wins the gold medal at the European University Championships: it’s the fourth continental triumph, a result unmatched at the Italian level
Starting with organic materials that conduct electrons and ions (OMIEC), an international team of scientists has succeeded in creating bioelectronic microfilms that, when activated by tiny electrical impulses, can wrap themselves around nerves like little bracelets
In the latest edition of the QS World University Rankings – Europe, the University of Bologna has been ranked among the top 50 universities in Europe, climbing 30 positions in a year. This morning Vice Rector Simona Tondelli participated at the award ceremony held in Barcelona
As part of the ERC DeepSeep project, a scientific expedition will search for traces of how natural hydrogen was formed and circulated in rocks nearly two billion years old: a possible energy source for primordial life forms, which could also prove to be a new clean energy source
The new Radicals research project, led by the University of Bologna, investigates the genetic basis of plants to make them more resilient and ensure their productivity even under adverse conditions
Led by Francesco Chemello, a professor at the Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology, the project will explore potential therapeutic approaches for this genetic disease that affects muscles, leading to loss of mobility and premature death due to cardio-respiratory issues
