In the June 2020 issue of Research*eu we featured an article on the RecycLoo project, undertaken by French start-up company WeCo, that has designed and built a new type of sustainable public toilet. With exciting expansion plans in Europe and Africa, we find out how they’ve been doing, arranging a discussion with WeCo CEO and founder, Cécile Dekeuwer.
EU-funded researchers have published a comprehensive guide on the production and processing of graphene and related materials to promote their use in novel applications.
EU-backed food scientists are using ultrasound technology to produce fruit juices and smoothies that are more nutritional and have a longer shelf life.
An EU-backed consortium’s achievements in semiconductor technology gain recognition from the French government.
The ReconCell project has developed a cutting-edge workcell that makes robot solutions commercially viable for SMEs that otherwise may not have the time or resources to automate their production processes. Featured in issue 87 of Research*eu magazine in November 2019, project coordinator Ales Ude had outlined how he and his team planned to commercialise further their product – we reconnect with him to find out how they’ve been getting on.
An EU-funded study has shown that the additives and contaminants that plastic particles leave behind in water can cause deformities in sea urchin embryos.
An EU-funded project demonstrates the potential of sustainable bio-based composite applications in the aerospace, acoustics and automotive sectors.
An EU-backed project team is developing lightweight, energy-smart insulating glass units that could achieve up to 70 % energy savings in heating and cooling.
EU-backed researchers develop a simulation model applied to a real-world food supply chain and review current knowledge on next-generation supply chains.
EU-backed scientists have used seismic waves called Rayleigh waves to develop a universal scaling law to explain mammalian touch. Their vision? Use this knowledge to revolutionise virtual reality.
An EU-funded research team released the initial results of its first geothermal electricity production field test in an oil well in France.
Aiming for a steroid-free future, EU-funded researchers are testing new eye drops designed to reprogramme the immune system of inflammatory eye disease sufferers.
Power suppliers, technology providers, researchers and steel industry partners have launched a pilot plant to produce hydrogen using electricity from renewables.
