Is there a more nutritious alternative to maize and rice for gluten-free food products? The answer could lie in African cereals and legumes.

Researchers are demonstrating how robotic technologies can help produce higher quality products more efficiently while also benefiting the environment and reducing farmers’ exposure to harmful chemicals.

How has climate-related temperature variability affected global mortality? A recent study reports on the impact.

Aerosol particles in the air affect cloud cover more than cloud brightness, and that has a bigger cooling impact, according to recent research.

Have temperatures risen or dropped too much? It could increase your chances of heart disease and stroke, say researchers.

Preparing for a future of seamless network handovers across European borders, an EU-backed project has just completed its first cross-border connectivity demonstrations at a 5G testbed in Latvia.
