Researchers achieve world-first data transmission capacity for 5G and next-generation networks.

Researchers have developed revolutionary new robots that adapt to the culture and customs of the elderly people they assist.

An EU initiative will help make safe autonomous driving a reality.

A new prototype allows motor sport fans to personalise their TV viewing experience with synchronised content on their mobile devices.

A novel project to build a prototype ICT service facility got off the ground in Sweden. Its cost-efficient and energy-saving concept could be replicated in other EU countries.

Researchers have shown that city size is a significant factor in determining migration patterns.

Chemical-free and remote sensing technologies can help prevent bee colony losses. Here’s how.

A team of experts is helping European citizens design their digital future by giving them control over their personal information. This will help guarantee people’s rights to privacy while also enabling them to share their data for the public good.

Researchers are making great strides towards early Parkinson’s detection with a new mobile app.

A multidisciplinary research team is harnessing modern technology to provide new types of evidence on war crimes and human rights violations.

A research team is helping robot developers design machines less likely to injure the humans they work with. How? With their novel ‘safety map’.

Companion robots will improve the lives of dementia sufferers and support their caregivers, thanks to an EU-backed project.

The first 5G testbeds have been launched in two European cities, allowing industries and smart city start-ups to test 5G applications citywide.

As part of a groundbreaking supercomputer to meet the growing needs of business and science, researchers have developed a new high-performance module capable of up to 12 quadrillion calculations per second.

By implementing a next-generation network trial in Catalonia, the era of affordable internet for everybody is one step closer to becoming a reality.

Scientists have discovered thousands of huge black holes at the centre of the Milky Way.

A novel software framework will help developers better design integrated mechanisms of computation, networking and physical processes.

Computer simulated models to test infant bone strength could help manufacturers design safer car seats.

Artificial intelligence (AI) could be exploited by rogue states, terrorists and criminals, unless humanity is better prepared to defend itself against its potential malicious use, experts warn.

Taking us another step closer to the computers of the future, scientists show that the transfer of quantum information from an electron spin to a photon is possible in a silicon quantum chip.

District heating based on renewable energy sources is becoming a preferred energy saving solution. One of the biggest challenges, however, is convincing property owners of the long-term value of retrofitting buildings to accommodate this smart solution.

The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has been taking place this week in Las Vegas, showcasing all kinds of weird and wonderful, conceptual and practical technology. Whilst much focus has been on new gadgets for consumer use, other, more far-reaching technological developments, such as advances in quantum computing, have also been trending.

By verifying a cell-based computer model that replicates the mechanics of muscle and tissue against in vitro tests, researchers have brought us a step closer to the era of personalised medicine.

An EU-funded project working with ultrafast optics, furthers control over the spatial-temporal quantum states of light, advancing quantum information science.

A consistent trend across the tech sector is the one-upmanship of increasingly high screen resolution and larger display size. Yet, the fact that the former increases faster than the latter means that manufacturers must achieve ever-higher pixel density. Large OLED microdisplays developed under the LOMID project could help solve that problem, thereby providing Europe with a competitive edge.
