I write about science, technology and innovation
A tactical deconfliction service for U-space users
A conflict detection and resolution service developed and demonstrated by the EU-funded TINDAiR project aims to ensure that the highly automated aircraft of the future can be safely integrated into crowded urban airspace.
How medieval England fed its growing population
Archaeologists uncover new insights into how medieval farmers were able to provide enough food to feed England’s growing population.
Making acoustics a central part of a building’s design
The EU-funded VirBAcous project has developed dedicated computational tools that the construction sector can use to design a quieter building.
Unlocking the superpower of buildings
Europe’s built environment is the single largest consumer of energy. It is also one of the largest emitters of carbon dioxide. But while the building stock’s carbon footprint may be big, it also has a superpower that can be unlocked using energy-efficient renovations, says David Ducarme from Knauf Insulation
New electronically steered antennas set to boost in-flight connectivity
A new electronically steered antenna developed by the EU-funded LESAF project is positioned to be a viable solution for the next generation of in-flight connectivity services.
Keeping the balance in drone traffic
Safely integrating drones into congested urban airspace requires a careful balance between traffic demand and capacity.
How prehistoric humans used silk roads to move, mix and evolve
New research provides evidence on how prehistoric humans in Central Asia utilised ancient trade routes to both survive and thrive during a period of intense climate change.
New insights into a tumour’s ability to adapt to therapies
The discovery of new cancer driver genes could open the door to the development of more effective therapeutic methods for treating colorectal cancer.
Leveraging the many benefits of high-speed rail
HSR clearly has the potential to help Europe meet its climate goals and decrease its dependency on foreign fuel, all while creating a better-connected Europe for its citizens and the economy. However, delivering on this potential requires having a comprehensive, efficient, and pan-European HSR network in place, which currently isn’t the case.
On the road with energy-efficient buildings
Raising awareness about the many benefits of green and sustainable buildings through informative, interactive and fun events and training opportunities.
Lifting the lid on illegal online pharma markets and sales
New research on illegal online pharmacies advances our understanding of what drives sales and customer demand for illegal pharmaceuticals – and what this means for public health.
A tactical deconfliction service for U-space users
A conflict detection and resolution service developed and demonstrated by the EU-funded TINDAiR project aims to ensure that the highly automated aircraft of the future can be safely integrated into crowded urban airspace.
Survivors of Childhood Cancer: Risk of Future Disease, Screening Needs and the Role of Radiology
As treatment for childhood cancers continues to improve, so too has the chance for long-term survival. But as childhood cancer survivors enter adulthood, they face an increased risk for developing new conditions related to their prior cancer therapy.
Pioneering biocompatible materials for implanted medical devices
Miniature medical devices have the potential to screen, monitor, diagnose and treat a range of body functions, conditions and diseases. But implanting these devices into the body requires safe, non-toxic materials. The biocompatible materials developed by the EU-funded BioWings project could open the door to a new era of medical innovation for EU citizens and the world.
Is the Mediterranean becoming too hot to handle?
The Mediterranean is in hot water – and we don’t mean that figuratively.
