EU-funded researchers have tested a new negative emissions technology, integrating photocatalysts into a solar up-draft tower to remove methane and other non-carbon dioxide greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

Satellite and citizen data feed scalable biodiversity indicators, helping planners, consultants and managers compare risks, target surveys and act sooner.

Des données satellitaires et issues de la science participative alimentent des indicateurs de biodiversité évolutifs, aidant planificateurs, consultants et gestionnaires à comparer les risques, cibler les inventaires et agir plus rapidement.

Neue Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, dass 5 % der zyprischen Bevölkerung verborgene genetische Varianten aufweisen, die mit schweren, aber behandelbaren Erbkrankheiten in Verbindung stehen, und ebnen damit den Weg für gezielte nationale Screening-Programme und für die Einführung der Genomik in die regelmäßige medizinische Gesundheitsversorgung.

Secondo quanto rivelato da una nuova ricerca, il 5% dei ciprioti è portatore di varianti genetiche nascoste legate a patologie ereditarie gravi, ma curabili, una situazione che apre la strada allo sviluppo di programmi di screening nazionali mirati e all’introduzione della genomica nell’assistenza sanitaria di routine.

Według wyników najnowszych badań u 5 % mieszkańców i mieszkanek Cypru występują ukryte warianty genów, które są związane z poważnymi, ale uleczalnymi chorobami dziedzicznymi. Wyniki te stanowią podstawę dla ukierunkowanych ogólnokrajowych programów badań przesiewowych i wskazują potrzebę wprowadzenia genomiki do rutynowej opieki zdrowotnej.

The phylogenetic, biochemical and functional diversity of these linked RGNs suggest a common origin that gave rise to the innumerable variations we observe today. However, little is known about these ancestors and the evolutionary paths that led to their modern counterparts...

A grand challenge of our age is to develop platforms for quantum information processing. The optical photon plays a key role: it allows quantum information to be transmitted over long distances and the encoded quantum information is robust, making photons attractive qubits for...

Long-period transients (LPTs) are a newly discovered class of sporadically active radio sources with minute-to-hour periodicities. Their luminosities exceed what can be powered by rotational spin-down alone, pointing to alternative energy reservoirs. Only 12 LPTs are known:...

Social protection is a proven mechanism to reduce poverty, prevent income shocks, and promote social and health equity. Expanding its coverage is a global health priority, yet 53% of the population remain without protection and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face...
