Momentum is building to finally tackle a neglected health problem that strikes poor, rural communities.
About 25% of all patents filed by projects supported by Horizon 2020 have come from ERC projects, even though commercialization of research is not the agency’s main aim. Bourguignon and his colleagues rightly argue that many advances in fundamental research ultimately contribute to innovation and benefit society. But that is a hard message to get across at a time of constrained funding and competing priorities.
Europe’s flagship science agency will be crucial to a post-coronavirus world. Slashing its budget will be a senseless act.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is about to carry what will soon become the International Space Station’s first privately-built airlock.
The company has previously built standardized boxes for space-based experiments and tiny satellite deployers, The Verge reports.
The Bishop is shaped like a bell jar and attaches itself to the outside of the space station using a number of clamps and latches.

Experimental vessel lands safely after spending two days orbiting the planet.
Qualcomm Technologies announced Monday that it conducted the first successful extended range 5G data call over mmWave.
Range has been a key obstacle for cellphone carriers as they move to mmWave technology to take advantage of faster 5G speeds. Qualcomm’s breakthrough could speed up deployment of 5G smartphones.
Qualcomm reported that it conducted a 5G call over a 2.36 mile distance, double the distance that it had projected when it unveiled its new antenna system last year. Qualcomm worked with Casa Systems, an ultra-broadband provider, and Ericsson, the multinational telecommunications company, on the project.
Groups of stars can tear their planet-forming disk to shreds, leaving behind warped, misaligned rings, scientists find in a breakthrough study.
Solar systems like ours generally form with their planets all orbiting in the same, flat plane. But, as an international team of scientists has found in a new study, this isn’t always the case.
If you are selected for the business incubation program, you’ll have the opportunity to work in an innovative, high-tech entrepreneurial environment. You’ll leverage programs, facilities and networks from both ESA and top notch European incubation centers.
