Quantum materials: electron spin measured for the first time

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

Unibo students discover multilingualism

A day to share experiences and understand the cognitive mechanisms that develop in the minds of those who can speak several languages. On 3rd May, Italian and international students and Student Ambassadors of the University of Bologna were protagonists of this experience, led by some expert professors

A day in memory of Emma Pezemo, two years after her passing

"University helpdesks against gender-based violence. Considerations, data, good practices": this is the title of the conference (held in Italian) organised by the University of Bologna to reflect on gender violence and remember its student victim of femicide.

The ultra-fast space winds that shape the evolution of galaxies

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

Protecting the cultural heritage of ancient bone artifacts is now possible. Near-infrared hyperspectral imaging and radiocarbon dating together to make the invisible visible

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
