Paving the way for more environmentally friendly materials in future electromechanical devices, EU-backed researchers have found a new way to induce the piezoelectric effect in materials ordinarily not considered to be piezoelectric.

A new study reports what could be the first ever pan-European estimate of tinnitus sufferers in Europe based on standardised research methods across countries.

Could there be a cost-efficient, eco-friendly alternative to today’s solar power technology? Quite possibly, thanks to a much more efficient solar cell developed by EU-backed researchers.

It can feel as though these little bloodsuckers are at best a nuisance, and at worst carriers of deadly diseases. But as our expert María José Ruiz-López explains, the maligned mosquito has more to offer than sleepless nights and itchy red bumps.

According to a new study, hundreds of deaths were likely avoided thanks to lower air pollution levels resulting from Europe’s first COVID-19 lockdown phase.

In a new study, EU-backed researchers have demonstrated the safety and feasibility of an innovative cell therapy for the treatment of severe haemophilia A.

How employable are doctorate holders? Do the skills they acquire match the skills needed for employment? How valuable is their degree? An EU-funded survey has the answers.

How can Irish family farms become more viable, and how can the younger generation be encouraged to commit to the family business? Through organic farming, says a new EU-funded study.
