A dynamic new opportunity is to combine Canada with European innovators to shape the future of digital, industrial and space technology. The global innovation landscape is set to expand as Canadian and European innovators gather at Connexion Canada: Online Matchmaking/Brokerage Event. The event, hosted by the Canadian Trade Commissioner Services in Spain, promises to spark […]
Build a future of connections
Europe is taking bold steps to lead the next generation of wireless technology as the world becomes increasingly dependent on fast, reliable and intelligent connectivity: 6G. With its commercial deployment targeted for 2030, the European Union is strategically investing in research, infrastructure and policies to ensure that it not only keeps pace with its global […]
New NHS driving to find undiagnosed patients with infected blood
As part of the NHS drive to find undiagnosed patients who are not affected by contaminated blood scandals, new patients with GP surgery will be asked if they had had a blood transfusion before 1996. Every year, approximately 400,000 people born before 1996 were asked if they had received a historic blood transfusion, and were […]
Noah and AnimalHealtheurope are seeking an EU-UK Veterinary Agreement
When the EU-UK Summit takes place in London today, the future of veterinarians is highlighting important but often overlooked issues. In the broader political and trade debate, two major animal health organizations (National Animal Health Office (Noah) and Animal Syndrome) are asking leaders to obtain a dedicated agreement to ensure ongoing cooperation on veterinary medicines […]
Exploring extreme plasma physics with intense laser technology
Petawatt lasers, because of their extremely high intensity, bring extreme astrophysical phenomena within reach of laboratory experiments, as demonstrated by recent computational research. Recent advances in laser technology have brought us to the threshold of exploring physical regimes once considered exclusive to the most extreme astrophysical environments. With the commissioning of several high-power, high-intensity laser […]
China must strengthen its clean electricity efforts to achieve its climate goals
China needs to generate more than half of its wind and solar clean power by 2035, according to a new study led by the University of California, San Diego. This is because countries around the world are expected to submit new rounds of nationally determined contributions, a five-year climate plan required under the Paris Agreement. […]
Sustainability Certification for Bio-based Systems
The Sustcert4biobased project is dedicated to promoting sustainability certification for industrial bio-based systems to ensure a sustainable transition to a circular bio-based economy. A successful transition from linear fossil-based systems to circulating bio-based systems must ensure environmental, social and economic sustainability. To this end, a Sustainability Certification Scheme and Label (CSL) has been developed to […]
Laboratory at the core of inertial confinement fusion
Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) relies on accurate compression and heating of deuterium-tritium (DT) targets through concentric irradiation with a laser beam at megajoule energy levels. The basic ICF scheme has been known since the early 1970s. When the National Ignition Facility (NIF) achieved break-even in December 2022, 50 years of scientific and technological advances peaked, […]
