Building an HPC ecosystem for tomorrow’s ARM-based supercomputers
The EUPEX Pilot aims to demonstrate Europe’s readiness to build a fully sovereign ARM-based supercomputer from chip to software. High performance computing (HPC) has quietly become one of the key pillars of modern society. From climate modeling and weather forecasting to drug discovery, artificial intelligence, industrial design, and energy optimization, supercomputers currently power some of […]
Bringing Finland to the forefront of the clean hydrogen economy
Finland’s clean hydrogen revolution is accelerating in Oulu thanks to the University of Oulu’s cutting-edge research program H2FUTURE. Finland is rapidly establishing itself as a hub for clean hydrogen development, and the northern city of Oulu is at the forefront of this green revolution. In 2025, the City of Oulu and the French company Verso […]
Unleash cow efficiency to improve climate-friendly productivity
How Agcent’s CH4 and CO2 measurement technology and genomic tools are transforming beef production by identifying more efficient and profitable cows that increase productivity and naturally reduce methane production. Advanced measurement tools are leading a fundamental change in how the livestock industry approaches sustainability. Technologies such as Agcent Air GHG and genetics make it clear […]
The hidden networks behind Europe’s digital infrastructure
Jennifer Holmes, CEO of London Internet Exchange, explores the resilience and readiness of Europe’s digital infrastructure. The story of Europe’s digital infrastructure is increasingly measured by mobile speed. The speed of 5G deployment, coverage map peaks and lags, and the potential and promise of 6G deployment are the strongest indicators of innovation, but this mobile […]
Bavaria invests €78 million in new hub for human spaceflight
Germany is laying the foundations for the next chapter of human spaceflight with a major investment in a new mission control facility near Munich. The Human Exploration Control Center (HECC) will be built on the grounds of the German Aerospace Center in Oberpfaffenhofen and will expand Europe’s capabilities for manned robotic missions to the Moon […]
New discoveries in biomechanics by highly accurate digital twins
The dealii-X project aims to create highly accurate digital twins of human organs using advanced computational models, enhancing insights into biomechanics and improving medical understanding and treatment of diseases. The project “dealii-X: an Exascale Framework for Digital Twins of the Human Body” is one of the EuroHPC Centres of Excellence, aiming to develop a scalable, […]
PPPL’s MRI experiment sheds light on planet and star formation
An award-winning team of scientists has successfully recreated cosmic processes in a laboratory environment and confirmed phenomena that explain the formation of stars and planets. Editor Georgie Purcell spoke to one of the lead researchers, Hantao Ji, to find out more. Imagine being able to watch stars and planets form before your eyes. After decades […]
Calculation of properties of high-density quantum plasma
Researchers at the University of Kiel, Dresden-Rossendorf Helmholtzzentrum and the University of Rostock are developing quantum simulations that can help predict the properties of warm dense matter and inertial fusion plasmas. Nuclear fusion is the process of fusing two lighter atomic nuclei to create a heavier one, producing vast amounts of energy that power the […]
Reducing the impact of PFAS: innovative solutions for cleaner UK water
New monitoring tools and advanced treatments are offering hope amid concerns about PFAS levels in UK waters. The question is whether regulators will act quickly enough. PFAS “forever chemicals” are prevalent in the UK’s surface and groundwater, entering rivers and aquifers through industrial effluents, firefighting foams and sewage treatment plants, where they cannot be completely […]
Imagination research bridges anthropology and future social challenges
Imagination studies in anthropology investigate how culturally-rooted narratives, everyday lives, and collective aspirations shape what communities think is possible and what is worth fighting for in the face of climate change, political upheaval, and other future-defining crises. Imagination research uses ethnographic fieldwork, participatory methods, and memory work to connect past experiences to current aspirations and […]
