Exploring Earth’s deep interior has always been a challenge for scientists, although spacecraft have travelled billions of kilometres through space, humans have drilled only about 12 kilometres into Earth’s crust.
Scientists are using earthquake sensors to track space debris falling to Earth. By detecting sonic booms from re-entering debris, researchers can precisely locate where objects break apart, improving safety as satellite re-entries become more frequent.
European startup policy took centre stage in Brussels today, 26th January 2026, as founders, investors, and innovation leaders gathered for the third European Startup and Scaleup Forum.

Doctors have delivered gene therapy during heart bypass surgery for the first time, aiming to strengthen blood vessels and prevent future heart failure.
New Hubble Space Telescope data confirms that "blue straggler" stars maintain their youthful glow by siphoning fuel from binary companions. This process occurs most frequently in quiet, low-density cosmic neighbourhoods where stellar pairs survive.
Scientists from Caltech and USC have developed RUS-PAT, a new 3D imaging technique that combines ultrasound with laser light. This hybrid system captures both anatomical structure and blood vessel function in high-resolution, "optical colour."
Two new pilot projects funded by the UK Space Agency are exploring how satellite data and digital technologies can help farmers make better decisions, improve productivity, and care for the environment.
The European Union has taken another step toward scaling up renewable hydrogen production, as six projects selected under the 2024 Innovation Fund Hydrogen Auction have signed their grant agreements.
A landmark UN report has declared the world has entered an "era of global water bankruptcy," a post-crisis reality where critical water systems have suffered irreversible damage and can no longer meet humanity’s growing demands.
Although closing the gender gap has been a topic for years with awareness campaigns and investment in education, women remain significantly underrepresented in digital careers and leadership roles across Europe.
Dr Ravi Gill discusses the factors contributing to the heightened susceptibility of individuals in high-risk occupations – such as emergency services and the armed forces – to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
