The world’s first lab-scale soft X-ray microscope
By building the market’s first commercial lab-scale soft X-ray microscope, the EU-funded SMILE project has helped increase researcher productivity.
Understanding the migration decisions of HIV-positive gay men
Using a qualitative approach, two researchers uncover the many factors that contribute to an HIV-positive gay man’s decision to migrate to and remain in a certain city or country.
Improving the processing industry’s resource efficiency
Innovative new optimisation-based tools aim to make European process industries more energy-efficient and cost-effective.
Towards a better way of treating triple-negative breast cancer
New research shows how QSOX1 inhibitory antibodies can slow tumour growth and metastasis, potentially opening the door to an anti-metastatic cancer drug.
A precision agriculture tool that lets farmers measure soil’s biological activity
New technology lets farmers see the type of microorganisms that are present in a particular soil type and tailor their resources accordingly.
Welcome to #NonwovensAroundTheClock - Nonwovens at home - YouTube
#NonwovensAroundTheClock - Meet John and Maria, a busy working couple. Whether it be during their morning routine, at work, or at home, the couple is constantly benefiting from nonwovens without even knowing it. That’s because nonwovens are usually hiding in plain sight, working as the unsung heroes of comfort and convenience.

Working to make the quantum phase device a reality
A group of young researchers in the Netherlands are working to control the quantum phase transition in electronic devices.
Study sheds new light on two diseases affecting older populations
New research advances our understanding of what causes splenic marginal zone lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.
Understanding how the nervous and immune systems cooperate
New research shows how the nervous and immune systems ‘talk’ to each other to promote health and fight disease.
New insights into elastic instabilities
Research sheds new light on the role geometry plays in causing elastic instabilities.
Shedding light on dark matter
New theoretical models and search strategies aim to help solve the dark matter puzzle.
Despite making up nearly 80 % of the universe’s matter, dark matter remains largely a mystery. “Although there is overwhelming evidence that dark matter exists at all cosmological scales, no experiment has yet been able to identify this elusive substance,” says Kai Schmidt-Hoberg, a physicist at DESY. “As such, when it comes to understanding what dark matter consists of and how it acts, we remain largely in...
New solutions for converting algae into sustainable feedstock
Innovative methods for cultivating algae and converting it into sustainable feedstock open the door to creating a bio-based blue economy in Europe.
Understanding why some tumour cells resist therapeutic treatment
The discovery of a cell type that essentially hides from conventional therapy could open the door to new ways of treating cancer.
