Issue 37 | 06/02/2026   Editor's Pick New ocean sensors could transform how scientists track the marine carbon cycle EU-funded researchers are developing a new generation of ocean sensors able to monitor previously hard-to-reach areas, promising clearer insight into how marine ecosystems are responding to climate change.   more   Latest Stories How bee brains are shaping next-generation computer chips Bees navigate their surroundings with astonishing precision. Their brains are now inspiring the design of tiny, low-power chips that could one day guide miniature robots and sensors.   more   Capitalising on Europe's research connections to tackle cancer Across Europe, cancer researchers are collaborating more closely than ever, thanks to the EU-backed canSERV platform, which links scientists with research services and infrastructures to speed up discoveries and improve care for patients.   more   Upcoming Articles Stay tuned for more stories In the upcoming newsletter, you will discover: Living with a brain disorder often means relying on medication that does not work for everyone and, in some cases, surgery. EU-funded researchers are now investigating whether nanotechnology could one day offer a safer, less invasive alternative. Hypothetical dark matter stars known as 'boson stars' could leave telltale ripples across the cosmos, offering researchers a new way to probe the invisible forces shaping the universe.
