For the first time, a study conducted by the Department of Psychology and Cognitive Science of the University of Trento used artificial AI models to analyse the topics discussed in online forums. Using natural language processing techniques, the researchers were able to identify the topics of discussion and learn about the lived experiences of people with autism. An inclusive research methodology that opens up new perspectives in the clinical field

A team of researchers of the Department of Physics studied the use of two-dimensional materials, formed by a single atomic layer, to obtain hydrogen, an energy vector, in a clean way and with a low environmental impact. A contribution that accelerates the energy transition. The study has been published in the scientific journal Carbon

A study conducted by UniTrento researchers examined ant trails to find out how they manage to avoid congestion thanks to their specific traffic strategies. These could provide a model for the mobility of autonomous vehicles on smart roads

Stimulating and collecting fluorescent signals from neurons using a chip, building smart sensors with brain-inspired hydrogel, creating more efficient and sustainable quantum computers: Clara Zaccaria, Alessio Lugnan and Alessio Baldazzi of the Physics Department of the University of Trento tell about their work on light particles and what they are trying to achieve. Together, the three have obtained funding for 500,000 euros from The Kavli Foundation, the Volkswagen Foundation and the start-up Rotonium to develop their projects
