Low-altitude aircraft communications, navigation, and surveillance
The ANTENNAE project aims to adapt 3GPP telecommunications standards to communications, navigation, and surveillance (CNS) services to support safe and efficient low-altitude aircraft operations. The ANTENNAE project investigates the applicability of 3GPP telecommunications standards to provide a full range of communications, navigation, and surveillance services to all classes of aircraft operating at low altitudes while […]
Inside D4RUNOFF’s AI Risk Map for Urban Runoff Management
The D4RUNOFF project transforms complex urban runoff data into clear climate-informed risk maps, enabling cities to identify pollution hotspots and confidently plan practical nature-based solutions (NBS). Urban runoff is an invisible, everyday problem and one of the most overlooked environmental risks facing cities today. When it rains, water flows over roads, rooftops, and paved surfaces, […]
The key to Europe’s food security
Dr. Harry J Barraza, COO of PFxBiotech, talks about the role of alternative proteins and precision fermentation in securing Europe’s future food system. Europe’s protein systems are under simultaneous pressure from extreme climate, geopolitical and demographic changes. A diverse “portfolio” of protein sources, including plants, algae, fungi/mycoproteins, insects, fermentable raw materials, and, in the long […]
Celebrating 35 years of battery recycling leadership
In honor of National Battery Day on February 18, Cirba Solutions, the national leader in battery recycling and critical mineral recovery, is celebrating 35 years of promoting responsible, safe and scalable battery recycling in North America. Founded in 1991, the company pioneered commercial-scale lithium-ion processing, built one of the most comprehensive footprints across the continent, […]
How D4RUNOFF tests a solution to urban stormwater pollution
Urban stormwater runoff is increasingly recognized as one of the most complex and underappreciated sources of diffuse pollution affecting rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. As cities become denser and climate change intensifies rainfall events, pollutants that accumulate on roads, rooftops, and urban surfaces will be washed into receiving water more frequently. The impacts are far-reaching, […]
Supermassive black holes contributed more to the evolution of galaxies than we thought
Supermassive black holes can slow star formation not only in their own galaxies but also in nearby galaxies, suggesting that they may have played a much larger role in shaping the evolution of galaxies in the early universe than previously thought. The powerful radiation emitted by active supermassive black holes, which are thought to exist […]
Thousands of hydrogen jobs could be lost due to UK government delay
Britain’s booming hydrogen sector is threatening investment, growth and thousands of potential hydrogen jobs, industry leaders say, as they urge ministers to act quickly to prevent further setbacks. In a joint appeal to government officials, the Hydrogen Energy Association (HEA) called for immediate progress on key policy decisions, warning that continued delays to the government’s […]
University of Manchester model reduces risk of satellite collisions
As the number of spacecraft orbiting the Earth increases at an unprecedented rate, concerns about satellite collisions are moving from theory to immediate reality. Researchers at the University of Manchester have announced a new modeling approach that will reshape the way Earth observation missions are planned and help protect crowded orbits while delivering the data […]
Aiming for minimally invasive stimulation for brain disorders
Michaela Nesvarova discusses the effects of brain disorders and how we can provide less invasive methods to monitor them. Living with a brain injury often means relying on medications and sometimes surgery that don’t work for everyone. EU-funded researchers are currently studying whether nanotechnology could one day provide a safer, less invasive alternative. For decades, […]
Why Europe’s digital future depends on intelligent networks
Prianca Ravichander, Chief Commercial Officer and Chief Marketing Officer at Tecnotree, highlights why intelligent networks are critical to Europe’s digital future. Europe has spent the past decade laying the physical foundations of a digital future on a historic scale. More than €500 billion is being invested in digital connectivity across fiber, mobile spectrum, edge infrastructure […]
