Feature Stories - Robot caregivers help the elderly

Τρί, 06/05/2014 - 10:48

Our life expectancy lengthens and members of the ‘silver generation’ make up an ever-larger proportion of the population. Can technologies help us in caring for ourselves, our older relatives and friends? Could we learn to live together with robots while being watched over by sensors? The people behind one EU research project certainly think so.

Better pig manure processing technology

Παρ, 02/05/2014 - 14:32

Intensified pig farming has led to an increase in the volume of pig manure, which has, in turn, led to increased environmental concerns. New research examined manure processing technologies to reduce volumes, thus minimising pollutant emissions and optimising nutrient recovery.

Unravelling the mysteries of our planet

Παρ, 02/05/2014 - 14:31

Initially a handful of spacecraft could only observe the Earth's magnetosphere — the magnetic bubble that surrounds the planet — but their number has grown over the past years. Today, these spacecraft have begun to provide multi-point measurements to afford a better understanding of what drives changes in the magnetosphere.

Coral reefs that may be resistant to climate change

Παρ, 02/05/2014 - 14:29

Coral reef ecosystems, some of the most valuable ecosystems on the planet, are often considered highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. However the seemingly delicate beauty of corals may be misleading - a new study recently published in Science magazine has identified coral populations that may be resistant to climate change.

Testing your food before you eat it

Παρ, 02/05/2014 - 14:29

Whilst globalisation allows us to find food from pretty much anywhere in the world in the nearest supermarket, this comfort has a major flaw: it is becoming very difficult to ensure food safety before it ends up on our plates. FOODSNIFFER - a food testing device to be integrated directly in our smartphones - might be the solution.
