Support for simple programmes – Union quality schemes
Scope The objective is to increase the awareness and recognition of the Union quality schemes, namely: quality schemes: protected designation of origin (PDO), protected geographical indication (PGI), traditional specialty guaranteed (TSG) and optional quality terms; the logo for quality agricultural products specific to the outermost regions of the Union. Information and promotion programmes on Union […]
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 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 […]
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 […]
The UAL participates in a new project: PRODIGIO
The UAL began working on a new European project in January this year, PRODIGIO. The university will be immersed for the next three years in order to give a boost to the production of microalgae on an industrial scale. A group of researchers from the UAL intends to give visibility to this production, such as […]
