EU-funded research is helping to optimise the use of new technologies by urban search-and-rescue teams to minimise loss of life. Published: 21 February 2020 Securing Europe's drinking water with satellite technology An EU-funded project is developing in-water and satellite-based digital monitoring systems that can detect threats to Europe's drinking water supplies, improve water management and guard against dangerous water quality. Published: 15 October 2019 A tiny battery solution with huge potential for Europe Pioneering EU-funded research on new solid-state batteries is paving the way for tiny yet powerful batteries for safer and better space applications. Industry partners are advancing with plans to commercialise the thin-film energy-storage technologies and processes at the heart of the project. Published: 1 October 2019 Mobile app helps fish farmers to boost their yields Fish farming has become an important source of high-quality protein. But aquaculture farmers often suffer high losses. A mobile application developed by an EU-funded project offers farmers much-needed, near-real-time support to increase yields - boosting their sustainability and competitiveness. Published: 5 September 2019 Rosetta data discoveries to guide future comet missions EU-funded researchers have gleaned important insights into the composition, topography and activity of a comet, helping scientists prepare for the next close encounter with these icy, dusty remnants from the formation of the solar system. Published: 26 August 2019 Big data sheds more light on dark matter EU-funded researchers have helped generate the most accurate map to date of dark matter, the mysterious substance that makes up 80 % of the universe. The innovative big-data technologies they used will have a significant impact on fields as diverse as astrophysics and biomedical imaging. Published: 20 August 2019 Lightweight rover will explore dark side of the moon A 40kg lunar buggy developed by EU-funded researchers could enhance our understanding of the origins of the solar system and make future manned missions to the moon more feasible. Published: 25 June 2019 Brighter candles to shed new light on the universe The luminosity of an astronomical object, if known, can be used to measure vast distances in space. A particular type of gamma ray burst could be applied in this way, according to an EU-funded project. It would be the brightest such 'standard candle' yet, opening up new opportunities to advance our understanding of the cosmos. Published: 12 June 2019 Addressing the danger of space debris Human-made space junk falls onto Earth every year, with some of it posing a threat to both people and property. An EU-funded project is developing new space debris mitigation guidelines and a web-based tool to address this danger. Published: 3 June 2019 Electronics for European independence in space Electronic components must meet stringent requirements in order to be useful for space applications. An EU-funded project has validated European-made components for this purpose, hoping to make the EU space sector less dependent on international partners. Published: 24 May 2019
