We propose a productive and efficient programming model to overcome the challenges posed by the end of Moore’s law. Our model bases on a fundamentally new spatial viewpoint that considers the computational structure of applications. The growth of the computing industry ...

Existing quantum computers are on the verge of solving practical problems that are intractable for classical computers. The obstacles that are holding current generation quantum computers back are their limited number of qubits and the presence of noise, both of which p...

Supermassive black holes — located in galactic nuclei— and dark matter —dominant in galactic halos— are vital ingredients in the cosmological process of galaxy formation, including that of our own Galaxy. However, probing our Galactic Centre (GC) and halo has proven obs...

From the 1960s to the 1980s, numerous younger European composers were drawn to theatrical projects that overturned the established conventions of the opera house. These projects were typically small in scale and experimented with new relationships between instrumental p...

Current epilepsy therapies, based on mediating excitation or inhibition, are ineffective in 30% of patients & have no impact on disease progression, demonstrating an urgent need for new therapies. Mounting evidence showed the therapeutic potential of targeting the purin...

It is becoming increasingly evident that small changes in the efficiency of the Biological Carbon Pump BCP can significantly alter ocean carbon sequestration and, thus, atmospheric CO2 and climate. Despite their importance, the factors that drive the BCP variability are...

Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been rapidly increasing over the past century, causing widespread environmental change. This ALAN can interfere with biological and ecological systems by masking natural light rhythms that regulate daily behaviours and physiology for...

Climate change and global warming are widely recognized as primary challenges in the next years. Indeed, despite several international agreements, CO2 and global heating continue growing and, in urban areas, increase of temperatures and frequency of heat waves, threaten...

Co-lingual-S tackles a well-documented disconnect between family- and school language policies regarding multilingualism by applying innovative visual methods to understand multilingual family life, and develop multilingual pedagogies in schools. Co-lingual-S sets out t...
