Good news from around Europe
As pressure grows to limit the use of conventional pesticides that may harm health and the environment, EU-funded researchers have brought eco-friendly alternatives a step closer to reality by turning insects’ own hormones against them. Powered by WPeMatico
PHENOmenon project organise, in parallel of the 5th Ed. Smart Materials and Surfaces – SMS Conference,the Focus Session “Optically Engineered Surfaces”. The program will include the presentation of the first results of the project, together with high level keynote and invited speakers in the fields of metaoptics, micro-nanophotonics and nanofabrication,
An EU-funded project has produced award-winning research on the way people naturally avoid arguments in conversation, with researchers hoping that better understanding could help social media platforms foster more positive discussions online. Powered by WPeMatico
Biomass availability is complex to estimate. It is necessary to assess which feedstock is available close by to avoid high transport costs. The feedstock must also have sufficient quality and specific characteristics to meet the technical requirements of the plant. The cost and sustainability of the chosen biomass are equally
EU-funded researchers have gleaned important insights into the composition, topography and activity of a comet, helping scientists prepare for the next close encounter with these icy, dusty remnants from the formation of the solar system. Powered by WPeMatico
An EU-funded project has led cutting-edge research into how light interacts with matter, developing new technologies and techniques to push the boundaries of photonics and laser science. Powered by WPeMatico
An EU-funded project investigated how pathogenic viruses, including influenza A, take control of the protein synthesis machinery in human cells. This has provided valuable new knowledge, which paves the way for new flu treatments. Powered by WPeMatico
Participants will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the latest hybrid and Additive Manufacturing technology for big parts and the main achievements of the KRAKEN project.They will also be able to see the KRAKEN machine in action. The KRAKEN machine integrates both additive and subtractive manufacturing technologies and can
This one-day event on 13 November in Helsinki brings together leading practitioners and scholars to reflect on emerging trends, weak signals, and promising opportunities for developing next-generation science advice capabilities. Today’s world faces an increasingly complex and interconnected policy environment. This has prompted the EU and national governments to rethink
The results of an EU-funded project are aiding the search for evidence of as-yet undiscovered particles that shape our universe, thanks to a groundbreaking analysis of Higgs boson data that has led to new insights and instruments to precisely measure particle properties. Powered by WPeMatico
