Space Nordic launched to unite Nordic space industry
The project, led by Space Denmark and involving key research and innovation partners from Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Norway, aims to create a more unified regional space ecosystem. This three-year program brings together leading institutions, universities and industry associations to reduce fragmentation in the Nordic space industry. By sharing expertise and resources, Space Nordic seeks […]
Transforming biomedical research and innovation
Scheduled for completion in 2028, the Sydney Biomedical Accelerator will become a globally significant hub for biomedical research, innovation and translation in Sydney, Australia. Currently in the construction phase, the Sydney Biomedical Accelerator (SBA) is a visionary partnership between the University of Sydney, Sydney Local Health District and the New South Wales Government. This partnership […]
Clean hydrogen can fill the gap in a decarbonized energy system
From long-term storage and flexibility to hard-to-abate sectors and data centres, a thriving clean hydrogen sector will provide much-needed solutions for net-zero energy systems in the very near future. EU leaders and member states will be rewarded if they persist through the current regulatory challenges. As renewable power generation rapidly expands across Europe, policymakers increasingly […]
Oslo University Hospital secures €4.9 million EU grant for elderly cancer patient care
Horizon Europe has awarded Oslo University Hospital (OUS) Radiumhospitalet a €4.9 million grant to lead an international research project aimed at improving outcomes and care for older cancer patients. The project, ENACT-65 (Enabling Integrated Nutrition and Exercise Care in Cancer), will develop and test new models of nutrition and exercise support for older patients that […]
EuroQCS – Spain’s quantum computer goes live in Barcelona
EuroQCS-Spain, a new quantum computer owned by the European High Performance Computing Joint Venture (EuroHPC JU), was officially launched in Barcelona, marking another milestone in Europe’s efforts to build a continent-wide quantum computing ecosystem. The system is hosted and operated by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center – Central Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS) and was unveiled at a […]
LVK collaboration reports 161 new gravitational wave detections
Scientists from the international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration have published an updated catalog of gravitational wave detections, adding 161 newly identified signals from colliding black holes, bringing the total number of confirmed events to 390. The discovery, announced in Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog 5.0 (GWTC-5), marks a significant advance in gravitational astronomy and provides researchers with […]
PhotoMel investigates factors that increase melanoma risk in young adults
A major European research project led by the Medical University of Vienna will investigate how environmental factors increase melanoma risk in young people. The four-year initiative, known as PhotoMel, has secured more than €5.7 million in funding through the Horizon Europe Mission Cancer program and is scheduled to start in September 2026. This project will […]
Researchers find evidence of Zwane Wolf effect on Mars
Using data from NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft, a team from West Virginia University found evidence that the planet’s atmosphere is protected from the solar wind even in the absence of a strong magnetic field, also known as the Zwanwolf effect. The Zwan-Wolf effect was first reported in 1976 and was observed only in the planetary magnetosphere, […]
Transforming wildfire management with geodesy and geospatial science
Wildfire management can be improved through geodesy and geospatial science, offering proactive, evidence-based strategies and advanced technologies that enhance risk assessment, resource allocation, and response efforts. Geodesy and geospatial science are fundamental to wildfire management and can move the involved processes from reactive response to anticipatory, evidence-based action. Conventional measures such as fuel reduction, patrols, […]
Telescope could reveal lost half of the universe
A new European-led telescope could map the dusty hidden half of the universe without using any fossil fuels. If you’ve ever seen the Milky Way in the night sky, you’ve probably noticed that it appears cloudy. That’s because toward the center of our galaxy, and most galaxies, there is an enormous amount of dust that […]
