Global competition is intensifying and Europe needs to deepen its innovation and risk-taking capability to compete on a market increasingly defined by new technologies. That is why the Juncker Commission is introducing a European Innovation Council (EIC) to turn Europe’s scientific discoveries into businesses that can scale up faster. Currently in its pilot phase, the European Innovation […]
New intraoperative probe for breast cancer tissue
Breast cancer diagnosis has improved over the years, leading to an increasing number of surgical tumour resections in specific breast conservative surgery. An innovative probe for detecting breast cancer tissue during operation could improve retention of healthy tissue and improve local treatment outcome. As with most cancer operations, breast conserving surgery aims to completely remove […]
Imminent anti-metastatic vaccine for prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men with millions of new cases every year. European scientists have developed a novel vaccine to prevent disease metastasis, the main cause of mortality amongst advanced prostate cancer sufferers. The majority of prostate cancer patients are diagnosed at the localised, pre-metastatic stage of the disease. They […]
New technology is recognising affective states
Empathic machines and digital products may be just around the corner thanks to EU-funded project TAWNY. Today many smart products and services do not have empathy to understand humans and automatically adapt to the needs and preferences of users without explicit user interaction and feedback. The TAWNY project takes things a step further and introduce […]

Mini robots to create patterns inspired by nature
Scientists have demonstrated how tiny robot swarms could be programmed like cells to form shapes together by relying on interactions with their neighbours. Imagine a future where hundreds or thousands of tiny robots explore the scene after a natural disaster. Picture yourself being operated on by nano-sized robots that perform an internal surgery. It may […]
Los robots aumentan el interés de los estudiantes en la ciencia
El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos ER4STEM está empleando robots en las aulas para inspirar a estudiantes desde muy jóvenes, y fomentar en ellos un interés por la ciencia, la ingeniería, la tecnología y las matemáticas que les acompañe toda la vida. Los niños son curiosos por naturaleza y viven la ciencia con fascinación y […]
