The Vera C. Rubin Observatory (NSF–DOE) is transforming our view of the cosmos by using the largest camera ever built to scan the night sky over ten years, creating an ultra-high-definition, wide-field record of the universe. In its first year, it is expected to detect more asteroids than all current telescopes combined. This wealth of…
The combination of artificial intelligence with the development of new microscopic technologies to obtain high-resolution images of cells opens the way to new strategies for diagnosing and monitoring diseases. A scientific team from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) and the Fundación…
The Tekniker technology center has pioneered the creation, production, and validation of a groundbreaking prototype: a wind turbine specifically engineered to harness the unique environmental conditions on the red planet for the European Space Agency (ESA). Addressing the pivotal question of whether Martian winds can be transformed into electrical energy, this initiative by Tekniker, a…
The University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) is actively engaged in the inaugural reconstruction of the genomic history of the first millennium in the Balkan Peninsula. The research has unveiled that the Balkans served as a frontier region of ancient Rome, exhibiting a cosmopolitan character comparable to the imperial center. Furthermore, the study indicates that…
The aim is to design and validate an electrically rechargeable zinc-air battery on a laboratory scale that will allow progress in cyclability and storage time, to combine with renewable energies and electrolysers for stationary storage (medium-long term). CIC energiGUNE, a leading Basque research center in electrochemical energy storage, thermal energy storage and conversion, and hydrogen…
