In less than 30 years Europe must transform society and industry from an energy supply largely based on hydrocarbons, which contribute to climate change, towards a clean energy system based on…
Europeans born today may expect to live longer than any generation in history. Yet brain functions, bodily…
While the story of science is full of larger-than-life figures such as Marie Skłodowska-Curie or Albert…
Europe has set a course for a low-carbon economy, but what does this mean in practice? This month, Horizon looks at the carbon-free innovations set to change our lives, from neighbourhoods that can…
