High-tech concepts to sense the world

Summary:

This edition of the Research*EU magazine focuses on some of the latest advances made by EU scientists in developing smart sensors for applications as varied as medical implants, malaria diagnosis, silicon retina, air traffic control and aircraft maintenance, bacteria detection, localisation of explosive devices and noise reduction technologies.

These specials are followed by the usual sections on biology and medicine, social sciences and humanities, energy and transport, environment, ICT and industrial technologies, as well as a brand new section dedicated to food and agriculture. The latter will be featured every three issues, in rotation with the space section and another newcomer dedicated to physics and mathematics.
