A multi-taxonomic analysis that considered 151 different species of small mammals, reptiles, birds, beetles, and lichens offers an overview of the situation, revealing potential threats to biodiversity in a sensitive geographical area where industrial and agricultural activities coexist with ecologically significant natural habitats
Thanks to the Alma Attrezzature Call, the “Toso Montanari” Department of Industrial Chemistry has acquired the new MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer. It enables analysis of all types of molecules, measuring their mass with exceptional precision
More than 200 training activities are entirely online, free, and open to all. Universities, institutions, and companies come together for the first Digital Education Hub for higher education, dedicated to Advanced Digital Culture in Italy, born within the framework of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR)
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
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
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
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
Conceived, written and recorded by the PhD students of the International PhD College. It is a dissemination project, created to talk about university and all the possible paths, featuring contributions from the academic world and other professional sectors
Thanks to the new EUSAIR project, in which the University of Bologna is a partner, controlled environments will be created where companies and startups can test innovative AI systems before they reach the market
Detected by the KM3NeT deep-sea neutrino telescope, the event opens new scenarios in the interpretation of astrophysical phenomena occurring in the universe. A group of researchers from the ‘Augusto Righi’ Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Bologna and the local Section of the National Institute of Nuclear Physics participated in the discovery
