Dr Inge Asselberghs has been closely involved in advanced graphene research over the past decade. Today, she’s at the forefront of EU-funded efforts to bring this “miracle material” out of the lab and into society. Asselberghs is part of an international team of researchers that set up a prototype manufacturing facility for graphene
Navigating the World of Sustainable Fisheries As global populations continue to swell, the hunger for seafood intensifies, placing mounting stress on marine habitats and fish populations. Sustainable fisheries are a crucial initiative, striving to manage and harvest aquatic stocks thoughtfully, meeting today’s demands while preserving marine bounty for the generations yet to come.
As cities burgeon and urban landscapes expand, the vision of Smart Cities emerges as an imperative to crafting habitats that are efficient, sustainable, and genuinely livable. By harnessing artificial intelligence (AI), these advanced urban spaces aspire to transform infrastructure, streamline public services, and foster a more sustainable existence for city dwellers. AI-driven Smart
Introduction to Seismic Mysteries Earthquakes, those mesmerizing yet destructive natural spectacles, captivate the human imagination. Grasping their essence requires exploring seismic science, an intricate realm that examines the formidable forces within Earth’s crust, forces that give rise to sudden ruptures, vibrations, and tremors. The tumultuous shifts that define seismic activity originate from energy
