Deep under the Mediterranean, scientists have recorded the highest-energy neutrino ever detected. Now they are working out what this elusive particle could reveal about the universe we live in.

Smarter decisions about real-world problems start with better data – and Earth observation can provide just that, thanks to European efforts to open up access to massive amounts of satellite data collected every day.

EU-funded researchers are developing powerful new telescopes to help uncover Earth-like planets around distant stars and advance the search for extraterrestrial life.

Researchers are creating advanced simulations that will provide a deeper understanding of Mars’s climatic history and help to determine whether it was once able to sustain life.

Researchers have created an improved traffic light system for predicting geomagnetic storms. They are now testing how well these algorithms can prepare us for incoming space storms that can wreak havoc by knocking out satellites in space and power grids on Earth.

Astronomers are closer than ever to working out how the biggest galaxies in the cosmos grew so quickly before dying.

The first moving images of a black hole could reveal swirls of plasma and collapsing stars, deepening our understanding of the universe.

Drones can make air freight cheaper and remote areas more connected. But tracking them will be key.

3D printing is set to revolutionise European manufacturing, producing complex, multilayered components for everything from toys and cars to wind turbines and satellites.

Collaboration between Europe and Africa on support for small business start-ups is heralding in a new era for EU-Africa cooperation on innovation.
