Tens of thousands of distant galaxies, waiting to be classified: this is the new citizen science project presented by ESA’s Euclid mission together with Galaxy Zoo on the Zooniverse platform. Voluntary contributions will train an artificial intelligence algorithm to identify the shape of the hundreds of millions of galaxies that the space telescope will observe over the next six years
Paediatric neuroblastoma is the leading cause of death among children with cancer. An international research team has discovered the gene that initiates the disease, also identifying a potential therapeutic target
‘Growing and Empowering Advanced Technologies in Emilia-Romagna’ is the title of the new call launched thanks to European Funds of the Emilia-Romagna Region (FESR 2021-2027) for the development of solutions with high scientific and technological content in the following fields: Clean, Safe and Accessible Energy, Circular Economy, Innovation in Materials, Digitalisation, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Manufacturing 4.0 and Future Evolutions, Cities and Communities of the Future. The 12 selected projects will receive free services valued at €20,000 each
The six best videos on artificial intelligence, focusing on the opportunities and risks linked to its use in today's world, will be awarded prizes as part of the contest organized for Alma Mater Fest 2024
Developed by researchers from the University of Bologna and Dartmouth College, this consists of an innovative template of the cortical surface, developed based on the anatomy of 1031 human brains, which makes it possible to conduct studies in functional magnetic resonance imaging with less data and a higher level of replicability and reproducibility
Following the success of the DART mission, which deflected the trajectory of a pair of asteroids, the results of the data collected before impact have now come in, offering a closer understanding of the formation process and behaviour of these space objects
Guided tours, concerts, scientific aperitifs, exhibitions, performances, workshops: the SOCIETY consortium (University of Bologna, CNR - coordinator, CINECA, INAF, INFN, INGV, and the University of Ferrara) is set to launch a series of events. The goal is to bring the public closer to researchers and their everyday work, while showing, through fun and interactive formats, how scientific research shapes our daily lives
A new study on the artefacts found in the Grotta di Castelcivita, in the Salerno province, shows that the crucial shift from the Proto-Aurignacian culture to the Early Aurignacian occurred before the major eruptive event that marked the Mediterranean region. This contradicts previous hypotheses on the relevance of sudden natural hazards for technological development in prehistoric times
The University of Bologna’s prototype passes all tests and finishes first after 20 laps, reaching the top of the rankings
Genai4lex-b is one of the three winning projects of the call for proposals promoted by the Chamber of Deputies. It will provide support in drafting bills, ensuring a conscious use of innovative technologies for the benefit of society
Now in its ninth edition, this valuable document helps the University to understand the diversity within its community and to raise awareness about equal career opportunities for faculty, technical-administrative staff, and students
A number of initiatives and visiting days at the experimental fields in Cadriano promote the four varieties that have achieved all the goals set in terms of yield, fruit quality and size
For the first time, an international group of scholars shed light on how our brain manages to extract musical meanings from a string of sounds, and what happens when variations are introduced in a known pattern
Five students from the University of Bologna are in Taipei and Tainan on the Taiwan Semiconductor Programme, for a first-rate training experience that combines university courses and corporate internships in the world capital of semiconductors
The area including the Punte Alberete Oasis, the Pialassa Baiona, the Valle della Canna and the San Vitale Pinewood is one of the experimental sites of the ACTION project, which will provide natural based solutions for protecting the ecosystems and ensuring more resilience to climate change
A series of surveys by the Cassini probe has provided new information on the oceans and rivers of Saturn's largest moon, which are made up of a mixture of methane, nitrogen and ethane. The survey is the result of an international collaboration led by scientists from Cornell University and the University of Bologna
