Researchers have received the go-ahead for the first-in-human phase I/II clinical trial for a radical new inhibitor of Myc, a protein implicated in the formation of most human cancers.

An EU-funded study explores the environmental impact of desalination on the island of Cyprus and proposes a more sustainable solution.

EU-backed scientists have synthesised a rare metal complex of ozone-depleting compound nitrous oxide (N2O). The implications are that N2O could be used in synthetic chemistry and degraded into substances that won’t harm the atmosphere.

EU-backed scientists have created a unifying framework that can predict the behaviour of neurons in critical, highly fluctuating systems.

EU-backed researchers have calculated the seven TRAPPIST-1 planets’ densities more precisely than ever before, providing better insight into their composition.

New estimates of European sedimentary deposits suggest that Europe may have been the dustiest region on Earth about 21 500 years ago.

Using transistors as qubits, EU-backed researchers have achieved an important milestone in the quest to make the industrial manufacture of quantum processors possible.

EU-backed researchers have identified genetic differences in some Pacific oyster families with better survival rates against a highly contagious herpesvirus disease. This brings the industry a step closer to breeding Pacific oysters that are resistant to the disease.

EU-backed researchers have used diamond-based magnetic imaging to detect both the magnetisation of a material and its resulting stray magnetic fields.

After 50 years of research, physicists have found evidence that the elusive subatomic quasiparticle called odderon actually exists.

Italian Institute of Technology senior scientist Arash Ajoudani has received the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Robotics and Automation Society (IEEE RAS) Early Career Award 2021. He’s the first researcher in Italy to win this award.

EU-backed researchers develop a novel method that exploits the dynamically tunable symmetry of 2D materials for non-linear optical applications.

New research has shown that the Greenland ice sheet will melt 60 % more by 2100 than scientists had thought, pushing rising sea levels from 10 cm to 18 cm.

2020 was Earth’s hottest year on record, surpassing 2016 by a very narrow margin.

Using deep learning, EU-backed scientists have developed a novel method that reliably assesses the quality of full-disk solar images.

COVID-19 dominated the science landscape, but several awe-inspiring discoveries and world firsts also made the headlines.

Going outdoors and switching off screens lead to more happiness during the COVID-19 crisis.

An EU-backed consortium’s achievements in semiconductor technology gain recognition from the French government.

A nutritional drink can help slow memory loss, cognitive decline and other effects of Alzheimer’s disease, according to an EU-funded study.

How we phrase New Year’s resolutions is key to success, world’s largest, most comprehensive study on the topic claims.
