Fast, affordable and portable testing devices—just as reliable as molecular swabs and accessible to everyone: ECLIPSE, a European research project coordinated by the University of Bologna, is paving the way for new approaches to global health emergency prevention. The first results were presented at the R2B Exhibition
The deepest observations ever made of a galaxy cluster using low-frequency radio techniques have shed new light on the life cycle of radio galaxies, from their formation to their fading
A national initiative involving eight universities and research centres has been launched to promote Italian excellence in quantum technologies. The goal is to build a cohesive ecosystem, capable of competing internationally and aligned with the new Italian Strategy for Quantum Science and Technologies
An international research team has developed a tool that takes its cue from a series of genomic alterations to identify danger signals and the risk of developing the tumour among those with early, asymptomatic forms of the disease
A new zooarchaeogenetic study published in the journal PNAS reveals that overfishing caused by an extremely high number of tuna traps operating for centuries in the Mediterranean has left a genetic and demographic imprint on the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), one of the world’s most iconic and exploited marine species
A “movie” of the evolving universe over ten years: the contribution of the Department of Physics and Astronomy “Augusto Righi” to the telescope that will revolutionise astronomical observation
