Research Headlines – Cost-cutting software facilitates ‘talk’ between digital devices

An EU and industry-funded project has built ground-breaking software that automates communication between Internet-enabled digital devices, potentially cutting engineering costs by up to 75 % or more. The software is already in use across Europe, saving consumers money and benefitting the environment. Powered by WPeMatico

Research Headlines – Bio-based materials for aircraft

EU-funded researchers are developing eco-friendly bio-based materials for aircraft. Collaboration with researchers in China and the aviation industry will see these materials replace traditional high-carbon footprint, non-recyclable materials in planes. Powered by WPeMatico

Open science – New Commission guidance supports EU Member States in transition to Open Science

The European Commission has made a crucial step on the way to an Open Science system in which knowledge circulates freely, as soon as it is available, through digital and collaborative technology. The revised Recommendation on access to and preservation of scientific information, published today as part of the Digital

Research Headlines – Clean, quiet hybrid electric aircraft take flight

Hybrid and electric vehicles are increasingly common on Europe’s roads. Now similar clean and quiet technologies are taking to the skies, thanks to an EU-funded project developing and testing innovative aircraft propulsion systems. Powered by WPeMatico

Research Headlines – Fresh search for a vaccine against malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax

Hundreds of millions of people each year are infected with Plasmodium vivax, the most widespread form of malaria worldwide. An EU-funded project is tackling the mosquito-borne parasite, leading cutting-edge research efforts to accelerate the development of effective vaccines. Powered by WPeMatico

Research Headlines – An effective vaccine for the deadliest malaria

EU-funded researchers are using the latest vaccine technologies and antigen discovery tools to develop a multi-stage, multi-antigen vaccine against Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the deadliest form of malaria. Powered by WPeMatico

Research Headlines – A new aircraft propulsion system to cut CO2 emissions

Air traffic volumes are projected to double by the mid-2030s, with CO2 emissions from aircraft expected to do likewise without new fuel-efficient aircraft entering the market. EU-funded researchers are exploring a propulsion method to reduce fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions – good for the environment and the industry’s competitiveness.
