Colorectal cancer (CRC) has a high incidence and mortality rate in European countries. Although early detection significantly improves 5-year survival, it involves highly invasive detection techniques that limit the screening of large populations at risk.

Only 30-40 % of CRC cases are diagnosed at early stages. Current diagnostic methods include complex, expensive or invasive technologies like tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or colonoscopy.

Limited driving range and charging infrastructure hamper the integration and management of electric light commercial vehicles(eLCVs). To overcome these barriers to market uptake, one initiative has created a roadmap for the development of the first artificial intelligence (AI)-based charging assistant for eLCV fleets.

Physical verification of an integrated circuit design is a critical step prior to handing it to the foundry for manufacturing. Ukraine-based start-up POLYTEDA CLOUD developed secure, cost-effective cloud-based software for circuit verification that checks microchip design for violations before they go for manufacture.

More than 480 billion plastic drinking bottles were sold in 2016 and only half of those were collected for recycling, with detrimental effects for the planet and even human health. An EU-funded project could change that dramatically, providing clean and pure mineral water from your tap supply.

Plastics have changed our lives dramatically, enhancing personal convenience in many ways. However, they are increasingly finding their way back into the ecosystem – and our bodies.

If the public submits videos for TV, that’s good for ratings, but the quality is poor. New EU technology fixes this issue.

Traditionally, television was produced entirely by professionals, with little audience involvement. However, since the public can now easily create and share videos, television broadcasts increasingly include public-created content. Given the march towards larger and more vivid screens, combined with a growing trend of on-demand viewing, public-supplied video generally does not meet broadcast-quality requirements.

Sturgeon are currently best known for providing caviar, but they may soon be associated with luxury leather goods. EU-funded researchers are preparing to market their sustainably and ethically produced STURSKIN to Italian designers.

Sturgeon farmers typically dispose of sturgeon skins as waste or sell them for use in the low-end gelatine market. Thanks to recently developed pioneering and sustainable technology to revalorise sturgeon skin, that could change dramatically with benefits to the entire supply and production chain.

The EU-funded SMASH project has developed an integrated mobility service where everyone can easily share their cars, bikes, parking spots, trucks and charging stations with others.

When we talk about vehicle sharing, we typically think ride sharing programmes or urban bike renting initiatives. These systems have traditionally been independent and centralised. As a result, city centres across Europe have been invaded by free floating bikes and electric scooters offering little to no benefit in terms of open and sustainable urban mobility.

By building the market’s first commercial lab-scale soft X-ray microscope, the EU-funded SMILE project has helped increase researcher productivity.

Soft X-ray imaging, also known as X-ray microscopy, is a type of imaging that uses electromagnetic radiation in the low energy X-ray band to produce magnified images of an object. Currently, it is the only method researchers have to generate high-resolution, high-contrast 3D images of the whole internal structure of intact biological cells in their near-natural state.

The EU-funded Renaparin project is supporting the clinical trial needed to move a new drug for preventing delayed graft function towards commercialisation.

Donor kidneys lack a natural blood flow when waiting to be transplanted into the recipient. Known clinically as delayed graft function (DGF), the resulting kidney injuries and potentially impaired function of the organ can cause the receiving patient to go into dialysis within the first week of the transplant – among other issues.

Scientists have characterised critical components masking primordial radiation generated during the Big Bang. Outcomes will help to reveal the processes in those first instants that occurred with energy a trillion times more than that possible with the most sophisticated particle accelerators available.
