The war between natural and artificial ecosystems
Microsystems will evolve in the future into integrated smart systems which are able to sense and diagnose a situation, which are predictive, and therefore are able to decide and help to decide. Smart systems address and identif...
Large-scale offshore wind farms solve the energy crisis
A key socio-economic challenge for Europe is: how to deal with a climate change, while meeting rapidly increasing demand for energy and ensuring security of supply? Wind energy can be a significant part of the answer. The new f...
Europe gains dominance in optical computing technology
An optical computer (also called a photonic computer) is a device that uses the photons in visible light or infrared (IR) beams, rather than electric current, to perform digital computations. An electric current creates heat in...
European research centres under attack of miniature robotic ...
Huge quantities of robotic bugs and flies of unknown origin were uncovered in many top-class research centres across Europe. These miniature spies are able to organise themselves autonomously, collect information from their sur...
