Published: 1 July 2020 Mass-produced European solar panels on the horizon An EU-funded project has developed a European version of high-efficiency, next-generation solar technology and a low-cost manufacturing process. The innovative solar cells could boost a switch to solar energy and recharge European solar-panel production. Published: 19 June 2020 Turning up the heat: how land management impacts heatwaves and droughts Understanding the roles land management and its uses play in the overall climate system is critical to mitigating the potential effects of climate change. EU-funded research is helping to enhance our knowledge of these interactions. Published: 16 June 2020 Burning bio-oil to heat homes more sustainably An EU-funded project has perfected the production of bio-oil and altered boilers to heat homes - recycling farm and forestry waste whilst cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Published: 15 June 2020 Cybergenetics brings noisy cells under control EU-funded researchers are employing the principles of control engineering to regulate the biochemical machinery inside cells, bringing the day ever closer when bacteria will be used to manufacture biological molecules on demand. Published: 11 June 2020 'Living bricks' create building blocks for a circular economy An EU project has developed highly innovative 'living' bricks that contain chambers of microbes capable of turning human waste, such as urine and grey water, into valuable resources, electricity and clean water. Published: 9 June 2020 Rounding the circle: taking steps towards a circular economy Global overconsumption is not sustainable and it is becoming increasingly evident that serious changes must be made. EU-funded research is helping to support the transition to a circular economy by identifying successful business models and how to implement them. Published: 8 June 2020 Wettability - made and measured to order Industrial applications often call for surfaces designed to attract or repel water. EU-funded researchers are devising new methods to characterise and manufacture such surfaces and will make their findings public in a new Open Innovation Environment. Published: 29 May 2020 Particle accelerator innovation steers greener, cleaner shipping EU-funded researchers have developed innovative particle accelerator technology capable of removing harmful sulphur and nitrogen oxide emissions from ship exhaust in a breakthrough that will support the transition to a greener, less-polluting and more sustainable global shipping industry. Published: 28 May 2020 Navigating around a bee's point of view For years, researchers have struggled to understand how bees navigate so effectively with such small brains. Now, an EU-funded project has developed new technology to enhance our understanding and to potentially advance efforts in bee conservation. This new knowledge could also be transferred to other sectors, such as engineering. Published: 19 May 2020
