Scientists reveal mechanism underlying a common chromosomal abnormality responsible for infertility in humans. The research work was supported by the National Research Council of Italy and the Tennessee Governor’s Chairs program

A new study published in Nature Geoscience carried out by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, in collaboration with the Institute of Polar Sciences of the National Research Council and other international partners, shows that mercury levels in the Arctic are strongly influenced by climate change. According to the study, the sea ice melting following temperature increase during the last glacial-interglacial transition caused a higher release of mercury into the atmosphere. In addition, the replacement of multi-year sea ice with seasonal ice, which is more saline, promotes complex chemical reactions that promote the deposition of this element in polar regions

Cnr-Ism has begun awarding the Prize of the Istituto di Struttura della Materia (PRISM), aimed at scientists having achieved outstanding breakthroughs in the past five years in the field of Science of Materials. PRISM intends to promote both fundamental and applied research in science and technology of materials, fields in which Cnr-Ism aims to become a leader at the international level

During the opening meeting of the "MUrFOr" project (Managing sustainable sea URchin fishery and marine FORest conservation, Biodiversa +) ­­Italian, Spanish, German, Spanish and French researchers met to outline the steps of the conservation project which includes several study areas across the Mediterranean Sea

The Ice Memory Foundation announces the success of the mission and calls for a rapid action by the international community to save the ice memory of the world's glaciers

In the frame of the 2021 agreement between the European Research Council (ERC) and the National Research Council of Italy, Cnr  actively implement two key actions to support its scientists to apply at the ERC Starting, Consolidator, Advanced and Synergy Grant calls 2024 and 2025, in all scientific domains (Physical and Engineering Sciences, Life Sciences and Social Sciences and Humanities)

On 10 June 2023, from the Vandemberg Space Force Base in California, the "Spei Satelles" project will lift off aboard a rocket: a CubeSat built by the Polytechnic University of Turin and operated by the Italian Space Agency will enter orbit to carry a message of hope and peace enshrined in a nanobook made by the National Research Council of Italy
