Today we are looking at the evolving world of bio-inspired innovation: the analysis and systematic transfer of biological insights into technical applications. Our guests are all exploring biological solutions at the interface between living nature and technology.
A novel concept showing how to convert infrared light to visible light is opening the way to new low-cost sensing technology.
The TBMED project aims to bring life-changing medical devices to market faster, without compromising on essential safety procedures.
An EU-funded project has brought to market innovative technology that verifies software running on multicore processors. The technology is now making the use of these processors in the aerospace and automotive sectors a reality.
Advanced lightweight materials have come a long way as industry shifts towards greater energy consciousness and sustainability. But SMEs have not yet taken advantage of the greener and more sustainable use of advanced materials.
A new study brings us up to date on the benefits and pitfalls of robotics and autonomous systems (RASs) when it comes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations (UN).
In today’s energy crisis, an EU-backed project’s smart sensors are helping Europe’s food SMEs slash their energy costs.
A new additive printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing process developed by EU-backed partners is cheaper and better for the environment than conventional 3D printing processes.
From days to just hours: Researchers have created the first efficient and selective biocatalyst for a powerful, but usually slow organic reaction.
An EU-backed project has started up a pilot CO2 capture plant in Norway. Such developments will go a long way in transforming the EU into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy with no net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
EU-backed scientists are delivering electrolysis modules to generate green hydrogen from renewable energy and water.
An EU-funded project has presented a new, bio-inspired coating solution for reducing maritime shipping emissions.
Researchers work on easier, cheaper and more efficient renewable methanol production to cut transport carbon emissions.
Seven technologies developed to help transform Europe’s electricity grid gain EU recognition.
A new digital matchmaking platform is creating global opportunities for collaboration between biogas and biomethane technology providers, project developers and investors.
No more drone disruptions. EU-backed partners have tested a system that protects airports from intrusions by unauthorised drones.
EU-backed scientists used an atomically thin material to design a device that can change the colour of laser beams.
Many parts of a fish go to waste, never reaching our plates. New sorting technology will help the fish industry exploit raw materials much better and in a more sustainable way.
A new bio-based polymer could be good news for the environment. A recent assessment of its industrial production and use in bottles points to potentially major reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Sustainable agriculture that’s good for the pocket: researchers show why it is a good idea to introduce herbaceous crops between mandarin trees.
