As part of a European project aimed at promoting more sustainable approaches to conservation, a University of Bologna research group has developed a technology that uses non-woven fabrics to selectively remove unwanted layers without damaging the underlying materials
The device will be integrated and tested at the Bologna Integration Hall, a joint centre of excellence established by INAF and the University of Bologna, before being installed on the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), currently under construction in Chile’s Atacama Desert
A study led by researchers of the University of Bologna analysed for the first time the external three-dimensional shape of the entire heel of Neanderthals, comparing it with that of our species, to show how lifestyle and evolution shaped the skeleton of the foot
This is shown by an analysis based on the longest series of satellite observations ever produced: the loss of ice has raised the global average sea level by more than three centimetres
Engaging citizens, public bodies, businesses and universities in local initiatives: the national picture and the Bologna experience
UniboMagazine spoke to Fabio Sgolastra, Professor at the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences and one of the authors of a commentary on the issue published in Science
Funded with €1.2 million, the European MagBIO project will develop “magnetobots”, engineered microorganisms capable of moving within the human body, supporting diagnostic monitoring and delivering anticancer drugs. The University of Bologna is among the 18 partners in the international consortium
A series of analyses conducted on the genome of Yakutia’s inhabitants, where low temperatures can reach -70°C, has highlighted certain combinations of genetic variants that can positively regulate physiological functions associated with exposure to cold. And the hybridisation of their ancestors with Neanderthal populations also plays a part
A new analysis based on observations from the James Webb Space Telescope suggests that Terzan 5, long considered a globular cluster, may instead be a kind of living archaeological relic of the birth of our galaxy
With more than 60 million stars, the image could help confirm the existence of exoplanets and measure their masses through variations in starlight
A study identifies the brain mechanism that links expectations to confidence in our decisions in the alpha oscillations of the right parietal cortex
