Unbreakable materials on the horizon
Since Leonardo da Vinci, scientists and engineers have investigated how things break or irreversibly deform, with a view to discovering unbreakable materials. This issue is at the core of Stefano Zapperi’s research. In 2011, he received an ERC…

United in diversity: how to live with difference in Europe?
Nowadays, European cities are witnessing unprecedented levels of migration and population change. In an era of super mobility and super diversity, how do people develop the capacity to live with difference? This question is asked by Professor Gill…

ERC projects to unlock mysteries of the human brain
More than 200 research projects have been funded for a total budget of over € 250 million. About 15% of the projects
funded in life sciences have a strong neuroscience component. Many of these projects address research and public
health challenges and explore emerging areas in neurosciences. Questions addressed by some ERC projects deal for
instance with memory and information coding in the brain, genesis and repair of the nervous system, empathy and
emotion processes, cell and gene therapy for Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, computation models for manmachine interaction or retinal degeneration and blindness.
A heavyweight for Einstein: Probing gravity where no one has done it before
An international research team led by astronomers from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR, Bonn, Germany) used a collection of large radio and optical telescopes to investigate a newly discovered pulsar, and its white dwarf…

How is your brain powered?
The brain is one of the most energy-consuming organs. It represents only 2% of the weight of an adult but it uses 20% of the energy produced by the body. Efficient energy supply is crucial for the brain so that our memory, mobility and senses can…
