A new multidisciplinary study, led by researchers at Unibo, Unimore and MUSE – the Trento Museum of Science, has reconstructed the evolutionary history and relationship with the environment of a population of Alpine ibex (Capra ibex) that lived in the mountains of Trentino more than 13,000 years ago
Thanks to a University of Bologna project, they will be able to tell visitors about the extraordinary significance of the Bagno dell'Acqua lake, a natural laboratory for the study of extreme environments and possible traces of life beyond Earth
From renewables to carbon capture and storage: where do we stand with the energy transition in a world cyclically marked by geopolitical crises? UniboMagazine discussed it with Professor Ezio Mesini
The definition of what we see depends, at least in part, on the speed at which our brain takes its internal “photographs” of the outside world. When the frequency of alpha waves speeds up, perceptual sensitivity increases
A new invisible marking technology aims to make plastic recycling more efficient and competitive. ELISET, a European project worth €2.36 million, is bringing to market a solution developed from research initiated at the University of Bologna and later advanced through the spin-off Sinbiosys
Rewilding is an environmental management approach that seeks to minimise human intervention as much as possible, allowing natural processes to unfold freely. Examples of this strategy are becoming increasingly common, particularly in Northern Europe, although more or less unintentional cases can also be found in Italy
Two examples from the University of Bologna’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, which today includes 62 accredited companies spanning spin-offs and student startups
Produced by five PhD students from the University of Bologna’s International PhD College, the podcast examines artificial intelligence from multiple perspectives and reflects on its role in politics, science and everyday life
The University of Bologna deep-tech spin-off is set to validate a technology in space that is recognised as a strategic priority for Europe
Thanks to the synergy between chemistry and aerospace engineering, the compact analytical device is ready for the first microgravity experiments with astronaut Sophie Adenot
New data from NASA’s Juno mission and the Hubble Space Telescope have enabled scientists to determine the planet’s shape with an uncertainty of just 0.4 kilometres: the gas giant’s radius is 8 kilometres smaller than previous estimates suggested
Seven European partners - including universities and research centres - will collaborate to develop low-energy digital systems through reversible computing
Signal-free junctions navigated seamlessly by vehicles that communicate with one another: the demonstration coordinated by the University of Bologna has won an award within the framework of the PNRR-funded Restart programme
Successfully tested in animal models, a new-generation drug has achieved complete disease regression in models of neuroblastoma and rhabdomyosarcoma, as well as colon cancer. The key lies in antibody–drug conjugates, which can recognise tumour cells and target them with a chemotherapy molecule designed to act selectively
Designed, built and tested by a research group at the University of Bologna, it is the only nanomotor in the world able to reverse its direction of rotation simply by changing the colour of the light source that powers it
People who are guided mainly by predictive cues risk making ineffective decisions even when experience shows there are better alternatives. This is the mechanism highlighted by a study conducted at the University of Bologna’s Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience (Cesena Campus)
