	Energy and resources: alternatives, renewables, generation, distribution...efficiency all the way! Summary: In the EU, research is underway to develop the latest energy technologies. We wanted to highlight the wonderful work being conducted across the 27 EU Member States along with its international partners. This is why we decided to dedicate this issue of Research*EU magazine to ‘Energy and resources: alternatives, renewables, generation, distribution...efficiency all the way!’ We start off the issue by looking at the possible correlation between mobile phones and brain tumours in adolescents. The article, listed in the biology and medicine section, discusses how one EU-funded project will help shed light on any possible negative effects of electromagnetic radiation. The energy and transport section leads with an innovative study into a promising alternative fuel for environment-friendly energy production. History often reveals patterns that future generations can learn from. This is indeed the case in the top story in the environment and society section. An EU-funded project has found links between climate change and ancient societies. In our IT and telecommunications section, we see how European research helps industry to bridge the divide between what happens in the physical world and its representation in the digital world. The industrial technology section leads with a story on a project that is developing the latest in robots. The project, PISA, has built a powerful robotic arm that is able to pick up a delicate egg without breaking it. The issue then ends with a list of exciting events and upcoming conferences in the field of research and technology.
