Bats’ double frequency band bio-sonar served as an inspiration for two researchers of the University of Trento. They established a new data processing technique to improve geophysical observation based on the interpretation of bi-dimensional subsurface images acquired by means of radars. Bio-inspired radars manage to obtain more accurate information regarding the composition and structure of planets and their moons. The first tests were carried out on the subsurface of Mars. The study, which is exclusively the work of a UniTrento team, was published today in Nature Communications

A research team led by the CIBIO - University of Trento reveals how solar energy could have contributed to the activation of the iron-sulfur clusters needed for the origin of life on our planet. The study in Nature Chemistry

Seven partners, including the Universities of Trento and Cambridge, joined forces in a European project. An interdisciplinary team of scientists is at work to develop a bio-electronic system capable of stimulating the regeneration of conductors of nerve impulses and activating the neural circuit. Four years of research and over 5 million funding from Horizon2020

Marta Biagioli of Cibio will receive 120,000 dollars in research funding over three years from two American foundations for an innovative idea based on the use of a non-codifying RNA class that for decades has been regarded as a by-product of cellular metabolism. These molecules stimulate the production of proteins in a number of neurological diseases associated with protein deficiency
