EU-funded researchers have developed new computer simulations for routinely redesigning enzymes – an approach that could speed up medicine production and help make the pharmaceutical industry more eco-friendly. Powered by WPeMatico

EU-funded researchers have discovered new families of proteins and enzymes that will enable the development of novel plant-based biomaterials, potentially providing viable sustainable and renewable alternatives to plastics and other fossil-fuel-derived materials and chemicals. Powered by WPeMatico

An EU-funded project has made a breakthrough in medical imaging. By developing a photon-counting detector for CT scanners, higher-resolution images with lower radiation doses can be produced for accurate non-invasive screening and diagnosis of diseases. Powered by WPeMatico

Spices have been used in food and traditional medicine for millennia. But a new interpretation of ‘SPICES’ is coming to mitigate cardiovascular risk factors in carefully selected sites in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and Europe… the international research kind. Powered by WPeMatico

How should the next EU research and innovation programme be implemented, to ensure that it achieves its ambitious objectives? Where can we simplify further? How should we deal with the novel features in the new programme? What should the legal documents, processes and tools for the programme look like? Share

A transparent system for monitoring and reporting CO2 emissions is needed to support climate-change mitigation goals. To this end, an EU-funded project is combining satellite and ground-based data with Earth system modelling to provide detailed information about worldwide anthropogenic CO2 emissions and their evolution over time.

Dreaming up new clothes? Animation techniques shaped by EU-funded researchers can show you how your designs would turn out by simulating the behaviour of the yarn in the fabric. A spin-off is about to launch a first product based on this approach, for use in the fashion industry – potentially
