A team of geoscientists, led by the University of Cologne, has investigated traces of the asteroid impact that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago: Cnr-Ismar researchers were part of the international panel of scientists

The Water Research Institute of the National Research Council of Italy is part of the Scientific and organizing Committee of the International Conference and Exhibition on land and water remediation markets and technologies which will be held in Ferrara

The Institute of Marine Sciences of the National Research Council illustrates a rare case of the meteorological phenomenon of downdraft, one of the hypotheses to explain the accident that overwhelmed the Bayesian yacht off the coast of Palermo

An international research group led by the Institute for Plasma Science and Technology of the National Research Council (Cnr) in Milan has demonstrated that gamma rays produced in the deuterium-tritium nuclear reaction can provide an accurate and alternative method for measuring the power achieved in new fusion reactors. The study is the subject of two scientific articles published in Physical Review C and Physical Review Letters

Cnr coordinates the Co.Science project, aimed at bridging the gap between science and society by promoting research and innovation, making scientific education attractive to young people, and providing researchers with effective communication tools to engage citizens. The project is supported by a strong consortium of key players in research, academia, science education, public interaction, and municipalities in Lombardy, integrating formal and informal contexts

The Cnr Institute for Biological Resources and Marine Biotechnology coordinated the Technical Report released by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) which identifies possible actions and strategies in the fight against aquatic invasions. A comprehensive compendium to guide policymakers, fishery managers and administrators around the world

The 4th edition of the conference, organized by the Institute of structure of matter of the Cnr (Cnr-Ism), will be held in Rome: it represents an international biennial interdisciplinary forum of major experts in the field of healthcare sciences, contributing in solving challenging problems in medicine

The Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems (Cnr-Imm) has received a grant by the Italian Ministry of the Enterprises and of the Made in Italy for participating to the second Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) on microelectronics and connectivity “IPCEI ME/CT”

A research group coordinated by Cnr-Isof, with the participation of Cnr-Ismn, Unibo and Czech Academy of Science, foundf that graphene has properties capable of controlling and modulating the activities of astrocytes, a type of brain cell. The study, published in Nature Nanotechnology, may have positive implications for the treatment of important and complex brain pathologies such as epilepsy and stroke
