Scientists are now better able to predict the evolution of river, estuarine and coastal formations thanks to an EU-funded initiative, making vulnerable communities more prepared for the impacts of climate change.

Chromatin structure is highly dynamic, varying during genome maintenance in accordance with the task, especially more so when DNA damage occurs. An EU project worked on unravelling the mechanics of DNA damage response (DDR) and its significance in disease.

DNA is wrapped around histones to form chromatin and its conformation can vary with degree of compaction. Essential processes such as DNA repair, transcription and replication are tightly linked, demanding specific chromatin conformations.

The EU-funded INSPACE project uses Space Division Multiplexing technology to create a sustainable broadband connection.

The internet and broadband applications that we all use on a daily basis via our connected devices require huge amounts of bandwidth. The associated broadband traffic, especially for video-based applications, increases with an annual growth rate of more than 50 %. If society wants to keep pace with such developments, it must continuously upgrade the capacity of its backbone broadband networks in a way that is both scalable and cost effective.

The relationship between exposure to aerosols at home or work and human health remains unclear. An EU initiative has provided valuable insights into the impact of exposure in such indoor settings.

Many people spend the majority of their time in the home and office or travelling between the two, where they are exposed to air pollution in the form of aerosols made up of fine solid particles or liquid droplets. The extent to which this regular exposure to aerosols in urban homes, workplaces, and private and public transport affects humans has not yet been fully determined.

Inefficient delivery of the therapeutic agents across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) results in poor prognosis for brain cancer patients. An EU consortium is developing imaging methods for assessing non-invasively brain delivery systems.

Large infrastructure is essential to Europe’s economic growth, yet ageing concrete structures are increasingly subject to failure. Novel technology using ultrasonic waves and radar pulses deployed on a climbing robot could however efficiently detect damage, ensuring structural integrity.

In Europe, buildings are responsible for over 40 % of total energy consumption and 36 % of overall CO2 emissions. An EU initiative introduced a lightweight, durable, cost-effective and high-performance panel for retrofitting.

Less than 1.5 % of the European building stock is newly built each year. Older buildings that represent the majority of this stock mostly exhibit low energy performance. They urgently require renovation work.

Discoveries of new materials or novel properties in known materials have been driving progress in condensed matter physics. An EU-funded initiative promoted modelling and experimental research in promising areas of condensed matter physics.

For the first time, scientists have investigated, for the first time, the use of a novel form of metals as fuel for standard car engines. The concept includes combustion free of harmful emissions and the recycling of spent fuel.

Internal combustion engines (ICEs) dominate the transportation market. Combustion or burning of fossil fuels in the presence of an oxidiser (usually air) converts the chemical energy in molecular bonds into useful mechanical energy, but – also harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
