Researchers from the University of Trento and Fondazione Bruno Kessler have designed and created surfaces that slow down the formation of ice by repelling water droplets before they freeze.

The goal is to create environmentally sustainable tyres, free from harmful substances. With almost 900,000 euros funding from the European Union, a team of researchers from the Department of Industrial Engineering will work on this project for the next two years

Unico in Italia, il team UniTrento è stato selezionato dall’Agenzia spaziale europea tra i sette partecipanti all’Esa Academy Experiments Programme. Un’esperienza unica per gli undici giovani che frequentano il dottorato o studiano nell’Ateneo trentino: vivere da protagonisti tutte le fasi di una missione e di un progetto spaziale, compreso il rientro a Terra.

The University of Trento is part of two international studies in the field of photonics. Mirko Lobino (Professor at the Department of Industrial Engineering) has fabricated a device that could reveal new properties of matter through laser beams. For the first time, computational chips use machine learning
