Agroalimentación
The Northern Lights and neon lights in the lab? This is how cold plasma works
Cold plasma is a technology based on ionised gases that generates reactive species capable of eliminating microorganisms without the use of high temperatures. In the food industry, it is used to decontaminate surfaces and food, improve food safety and reduce product waste
Their Majesties, the Legumes: From Modesty to Excellence in Health and Sustainability
Legumes are a key food for a healthy and sustainable diet. They provide high-quality plant protein, improve soil health, and contribute to more resilient food systems. Technological innovation also makes it possible to improve their digestibility and consumer acceptance.

Electricity versus gas in Europe, what the ratio tells us about decarbonising heat
In recent years, energy prices have become a central variable for industry, thermal networks and, more broadly, for any heat decarbonisation strategy. In this context, a simple but very useful indicator for interpreting market trends is the electricity to gas price...
When turning on the heating isn’t an option: real solutions to energy poverty
Energy poverty cannot be solved by technology alone. It requires a combination of energy-efficient refurbishment, passive solutions and a social approach tailored to each specific context. Reducing energy demand is key to improving comfort in vulnerable households.

Construcción e Infraestructuras
Data centres: building the invisible infrastructure that powers the world
A data centre is a critical piece of infrastructure designed to store and process large volumes of data. Its energy efficiency, measured by the PUE, and its structural design are key to ensuring availability, sustainability and performance in the digital economy.
When We Listen to the Laments of Historic Buildings: From Scaffolding to Data, and from Data to Action
Smart heritage monitoring uses sensors, data analysis, and artificial intelligence to predict deterioration in historic buildings. This enables more efficient preventive conservation, reducing costs and preventing irreversible damage before it becomes visible.

Industria
The Self-Pilot Factory: Artificial Intelligence, Digital Twins and Industry 5.0
The manufacturing industry is undergoing a profound transformation, evolving from rigid automation toward autonomous, adaptive, and resilient production systems. This shift is driven by the volatility of global markets, the need for sustainability, and the growing...
ROS4HRI: a common language for human-robot interaction in Industry 5.0
ROS4HRI is an open standard that enables robots to understand and respond to human signals—voice, gestures, or emotions—in a unified way, boosting human-robot interaction in Industry 5.0.

Robot training in virtual worlds?
Have you ever tried a car racing game? An F1 race, a rally, or if you`ve tried driving Assestto Corsa, maybe you know where I am going with this little reflection. If you have ever done so, you will have experienced a sense of "realism" of behaviour . In fact, if you...
Boosting innovation and digital sovereignty: the open source software Strategy of the European Commission
In a world increasingly dependent on technology, the European Union has been embracing a focus on driving innovation, ensuring cyber security and strengthening its digital sovereignty. At the heart of this strategy is a commitment to open source software which is...
