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 study led by a team at the EHU has identified hundreds of molecular markers in the oral cavity that can reflect pathological processes in other parts of the body A study conducted by a team at EHU (University of Basque Country) has found hundreds of molecular markers in the oral cavity that may indicate…
The IBM-Euskadi Quantum Computational Center was announced in 2023 to foster the use of advanced technologies throughout the Basque Government and the Diputaciones (provincial governments) of its three territories: Alava, Bizkaia, and Gipuzkoa. Its mission is to raise the level of research institutions by expanding international scientific collaborations, conducting world-class fundamental research, and strengthening quantum…
A study by the University of the Basque Country –UPV/EHU– and ‘BC3‘ says that the reproductive success of wild and cultivated plants is reduced by the loss of pollinator diversity. Nature Ecology & Evolution has published the meta-analysis conducted by a UPV/EHU researcher together with several members of BC3. This analysis produced a more realistic…
Research involving the University of the Basque Country has resulted in a methodology to reliably and objectively analyse the sensory characteristics of wine. This is a standard tool that uses a single methodology to analyse the gustatory, olfactory and visual properties of different types of wine from the 11 Catalan designations of origin, and which…
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 journal Nature has released a research examining the trend of invertebrate diversity and organisation in rivers and how these organisms respond and evolve to environmental stressors. The study is based on data collected from river systems in 22 European countries between 1969 and 2020. The University of the Basque Country’s (UPV/EHU) Group of Stream…
