Informatics research in Europe has been bolstered by The European Commission which is providing €89 million to the 'Human Brain Project' alongside a €1.5M grant from the European Research Council
A consortium of European researchers and technology companies recently completed the EU-funded SAVE project, aimed at simplifying the execution data-intensive applications on complex hardware architectures.
Argonne National Laboratory is partnering with the University of Chicago and the City of Chicago to launch an open access urban sensing project - the Array of Things - to better understand and improve the cities.
UK scientists from the British Geological Survey (BGS) and the University of Edinburgh set off this week to the earthquake affected area of central Italy. The researchers will deploy seismometers to help better understand the science of aftershocks and how scientists might better assist global emergency response.
The Earlham Institute (EI) is adding a state-of-the-art DNA Foundry for synthetic biology to its advanced suite of sequencing technologies.
LIMS provider LabVantage has extended its partnership with Lonza to offer purpose-built environmental monitoring capabilities integrated with its software.
IBM scientists have developed a new lab-on-a-chip technology that can, for the first time, separate biological particles at the nanoscale
Biologists and mathematicians from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have accelerated the rate at which a computer can predict the structure of protein complexes in a cell
Researchers from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) have created a bioinformatics tool, WREGEX 2.0, to predict the effect of cancer-related mutations. Created by a multidisciplinary team the software can analyse up to 40,000 proteins per minute
Certara, a specialist in simulation-enabled drug development, has announced that the US Food and Drug Administrations (FDA) Center for Veterinary Medicine has extended a five year research agreement until 2020.
Through the use of cutting-edge simulation, software engineers are developing innovative new wind energy technology and increasing the efficiency and durability of wind turbines. The drive to find sustainable energy sources is one of the most pressing concerns facing society.
Dame Sally Davies, the outgoing Chief Medical Officer for England, pulls no punches when it comes to the threat of antibiotic resistance. She has called for an ‘Extinction Rebellion-type’ response to it, describing it as ‘catastrophic’ and ‘as dangerous as climate change’.
The Pistoia Alliance has been pioneering initiatives that will support organisations as they work to enable and engage Fair (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles of data management and stewardship in their organisations.
Achronix and Bittware collaborate on a new FPGA designed for cloud, AI and machine learning applications, writes Robert Roe
By increasing the energy efficiency of a supercomputer scientists can save huge amounts of money over the total lifecycle of the system. With ever-increasing core counts and increasingly large supercomputers, the drive for increased computational power comes at a cost.
