Connected circularity: research and design of transformative pathways to a biobased economy. The transformation to a circular biobased economy requires the identification of pathways for profound change. In this project, an interdisciplinary team of Wageningen researchers will develop these pathways together with societal actors. We will do this ba...

 Calculations from Ana Asenjo-Garcia and Stuart Masson reveal that any atom array is capable of bursting—a sign that atoms are syncing up.When atoms interact with each other, they behave as a whole rather than individual entities. That can give rise to synchronized responses to inputs, a phenomenon that, if properly understood and controlled, ...

The creation of companies has become established as a valuable tool for achieving the link between university research and the productive system, as well as for improving the competitiveness of the environment and the renewal of the productive fabric.

Airbus needed to design faster, safer, more cost-effective aircraft so a team at UWE Bristol created 'OntoREM', a piece of software that combines advanced system requirements modelling with business requirements to achieve incredible results.Enabling design and business needsRequirements modelling has now become the standard driver for designing ne...

Researchers have unearthed two fossils, named Punk and Emo, revealing that ancient molluscs were more complex and adaptable than previously known.Molluscs are one of life's most diverse animal groups and analysis of the rare 430 million year old fossils is challenging long-held views on their early origins.The fossils dating from the Silurian perio...

 New concrete recycling methods combine two important environmental benefits: they save raw materials and can permanently bind climate-damaging CO2 that would otherwise enter the atmosphere.Concrete is one of the most important building materials of our time: worldwide concrete production is estimated at 30 billion tons per year. This would th...

 The research team of Professor Lee Kwang-ryeol of the Department of Chemistry at Korea University (President Dong-won Kim) has developed a non-precious metal-based nano catalyst that will advance the green hydrogen economy through joint research with KIST and KAIST. The study was recognized for its importance and was published on December 8 (...

 LSU researchers have been awarded a $1.5 million Pathways to Enable Open-Source Ecosystems, or POSE, grant from the National Science Foundation to advance the ecosystem surrounding HPX, a software library developed at LSU. Their goal is a fast and energy-efficient solution to increase worldwide access to high-performance computing. Lack of ac...

 Spartans are partnering with communities to gather data on coastal erosion that can inform better decision-makingThe Great Lakes are the lifeblood of Michigan, shaping the state's geography, economy and culture. Yet, beneath the waves, the forces of nature and changes in climate are reshaping coastlines. To combat the growing threat of erosio...

 The insights, published in the journal Science, can also be used to make other types of machine learning architectures more effectiveNeural networks have been powering breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, including the large language models that are now being used in a wide range of applications, from finance, to human resources to healt...

 The BMWK project "Enersat" of the University of Passau, Center for Telematics (ZfT), Institute for Energy and High Voltage Technology (IEHT) is researching secure satellite networks to support the normal and emergency operation of renewable energy systems.The aim of the research team is to investigate the potential of a network of microsatell...

 Astronomers from the University of Arizona, along with an international group of researchers, observed the atmosphere of a hot and uniquely inflated exoplanet using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. The exoplanet, which is the size of Jupiter but only a tenth of its mass, is found to have east-west asymmetry in its atmosphere, meaning that t...

 Harmful chemicals that last for so long they're known as 'forever chemicals' have been found in the Amazon rainforest atmosphere for the first time.Samples of air collected at an observatory in the Brazilian rainforest that stands at the same height as the Eiffel Tower were analysed by Coventry University's Dr Ivan Kourtchev who said it was "...

 When governmental authorities and companies initiate projects within renewable energy and green transition, they often affect indigenous people and their living areas. Even though the actors are obligated to respect human rights and consider the perspectives of local populations, they are often not heard when decisions impacting them are made...

 Quantum physics University of Copenhagen team contributes to an Antarctic large-scale experiment striving to find out if gravity also exists at the quantum level. An extraordinary particle able to travel undisturbed through space seems to hold the answer.Several thousand sensors distributed over a cubic kilometer near the South Pole are taske...

 A new study co-led by the University of Arizona and the Smithsonian offers the most detailed glimpse yet into how Earth's surface temperature has changed over the past 485 million years.Published in the journal Science, the study presents a curve of global mean surface temperature that reveals Earth's temperature has varied more than previous...

 Tulane University is mapping out a visionary path for integrating AI into its academic and research endeavors, including providing comprehensive training and support for faculty, encouraging the use of new artificial intelligence tools in teaching, and addressing ethical concerns related to the use of AI.
