Italian Minister for University and Research Marco Bussetti visited on June 2019 the Cnr Arctic Station 'Dirigibile Italia'. In this multidisciplinary research facility located in Ny-Ålesund (Svalbard Islands), Cnr coordinates a wide range of interdisciplinary studies and on-field researches: from chemistry to physics of the atmosphere, from marine biology to oceanography, from human biology to environmental studies, and much more

Encapsulation of micro-objects with a polymeric membrane is desired in many applications such as pharmaceutics and microelectronics. This is currently achieved through three-dimensional (3D) printing, lithography, or microfluidics. These are demanding techniques. For example, microfluidics requires oil–water interfaces that may not be compatible with the chemistry of a drug. The research teams are proposing an unusual and very efficient alternative, using polymer solutions. The “quick liquid packaging” method they developed was published in Science Advances. The approach stands out for its simplicity. It relies on surface tension and the need for two non-miscible solutions to minimize their interfacial energy
