After 50 years of research, physicists have found evidence that the elusive subatomic quasiparticle called odderon actually exists. For most of us, physics terms such as odderon are – and will always remain – firmly lodged in the science fiction realm. Not so for the scientific community, whose determined members spent nearly half a century […]

Artificial intelligence in EU enterprises
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of strategic importance and a key driver of economic development. It can provide solutions to many challenges, such as treating diseases or minimising the environmental impact of farming. Artificial intelligence gives machines and systems the capability to analyse their environment and make decisions with some degree of autonomy to […]

Can life from Earth survive on a planet like Mars?
Some microbes on Earth could temporarily survive on the surface of Mars, new study finds. As the Perseverance rover hunts for evidence of past life on Mars’ barren surface, researchers back on Earth are exploring just how difficult it might be for living organisms to survive there today. Findings published in the journal ‘Frontiers in […]

Particle physics milestone achieved at CERN
After 50 years of research, physicists have found evidence that the elusive subatomic quasiparticle called odderon actually exists. For most of us, physics terms like odderon are (and always will be) part of science fiction. However, this is not the view of the scientific community, whose determined members spent almost half a century searching (without […]

Scientists solve mysteries of the world’s oldest computer
Another piece of the ancient computer’s puzzle has been solved. The 2 000-year-old Antikythera Mechanism, the first analogue computer, was a bronze hand-powered device from ancient Greece filled with complex gears. It was used to predict the positions of the planets and events like lunar and solar eclipses. The machine was even used to set […]

New Research Study: Technology Foresight on Biometrics for the Future of Travel
In January, Frontex met with Steinbeis 2i, the winner of the tender for the provision of a Technology Foresight on Biometrics for the Future of Travel, to kick-off and discuss a research study on the impact of emerging biometric technologies on facilitating the border crossing at the EU external borders. Steinbeis 2i, together with three […]
