Funding the future of Finnish bioscience

Professor Ursula Schwab, Chair of the Research Council for Biosciences, Health and the Environment at the Academy of Finland, speaks to The Innovation Platform about the future of Finnish bioscience and the decision to fund 24 new Academy Research...

CERN, LHCb, Syracuse University and the search for New Physics

Physicists from Syracuse University, working at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), discuss their involvement in the LHCb experiment and the search for evidence of physical forces beyond those we know, called ‘New Physics’ (NP). In elementary particle physics, we...

How hybrid nanocapsules can reduce carbon emissions

The 9,000th publication to come from the Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national synchrotron, has been published, describing how hybrid nanocapsules from renewable materials can help cut carbon emissions. A recently published paper in Chemical Engineering Journal by a team of...

The impact of COVID-19 on air traffic management

Dr Luis Barbero, President and Chief Executive Officer of GATCO, discusses the impact of COVID-19 on the aviation and air traffic management industry. The increasing integration of systems into daily operations is necessitating a change in the way air traffic...

Understanding experiments with the Standard Model of particle physics

At OPRA, we believe that the research we support can play a major role in making the Standard Model a better theory by paying special attention to the areas where it doesn't provide consistent explanation. AS any physicist observes, the...

EASA – the European Union’s strategy for aviation safety

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) tells The Innovation Platform about how the challenges posed by drones are being addressed. The challenges facing aviation are numerous and diverse – from those concerning air traffic management to those concerning cybersecurity,...
