Computation and experiment combine to unravel how genes are regulated and shed light on how cells become different
A closer alliance between computational and experimental researchers is needed to make progress towards one of biology’s most challenging goals, understanding how epigenetic marks contribute to regulation of gene expression. This emerged from a recent workshop organised by the European Science... Category: PESC, LESC, Exploratory Workshops, Media Centre, Homepage, Press Releases 2008

Europe to build state of the art laboratory to study how stars evolve and elements are formed in cosmos
One of the great ongoing challenges of astrophysics, to find out how stars evolve and die, is to be tackled in an ambitious European research programme. This will involve studying in the laboratory over 25 critical nuclear reactions using low-energy stable beams of ions, in order to understand...

Novel organic metal hybrids revolutionise materials science and chemical engineering
A novel class of hybrid materials made from metals and organic compounds is changing the face of solid state chemistry and materials science just 10 years after its discovery, with applications already in safe storage of highly inflammable gases such as hydrogen and methane. Europe is aiming... Category: Media Centre, Homepage, Press Releases 2008, Exploratory Workshops, PESC

Astronomers get their hands dirty as they lift the veil on galactic dust
There is more to a grain of dust than meets the eye, at least for astronomers as they attempt to probe deeper into distant galaxies. Until now dust has been a nuisance because it has obscured galaxies, and the stars within them, by absorbing the radiation they emit. But more recently dust has...

Web Search Leads to Award-winning Collaborative Work
York University's John Goodby is Project Leader of the European Science Foundation (ESF) SONS 2 programme LC-NANOP, but it was perhaps only by chance that he and his colleagues entered into a unique Europe-wide collaboration on fundamental science. Goodby's colleague Isabel Saez discovered the ESF... Category: Media Centre, EUROCORES, PESC, Homepage, Press Releases 2007

Hybrid approach to solar power brings rewards
SONS 2 scientist Dr Saif Haque of Imperial College London, is to receive the Royal Society of Chemistry's Edward Harrison Memorial Prize for his research on developing solar cells based on self-organising organic materials systems. Haque first became involved with the ESF through its SONS 2... Category: Media Centre, EUROCORES, Research Networking Programmes, PESC, CEO Unit, Homepage, Press Releases 2007

Conference in Computational Physics 2007: event showcases all matter great and small
The way things move has fascinated physicists from Newton to Einstein. But until now few physicists appreciated how widely the laws of movement apply. From understanding how cell membranes let in proteins to how elementary particles behave at the speed of light, scientists are realising... Category: PESC, Media Centre, Homepage, Press Releases 2007

ESF joins forces with the European Commission in launching a European Research Infrastructures portal
As a follow up to their successful collaboration, alongside EuroHORCs, in compiling the 2nd European Survey of Research Infrastructures during 2007, the ESF and the EC have launched a joint activity to increase the mapping of European-level RI to create a resource for the benefit of both the research community and policy makers. The Portal provides information on RI already in the database as a result of the Survey and the opportunity for further RI to be proposed for inclusion. ESF’s Standing Committee’s play a crucial role in the scientific validation of entries in the database.
