The exhibition, which will run until 24 May 2021, includes an based on research by the Crossing the Mediterranean Sea by Boat project, led by Professor Squire with a team from 果冻传媒, ELIAMEP Athens and University of Malta.
Diagnostic tool for Coronavirus being developed by 果冻传媒 makes significant step forward
Scientists at the 果冻传媒 have demonstrated that a potential diagnostic tool for detecting COVID-19 using sugars will work with a virus rather than just its proteins, a significant step in making it a viable test in future.
Faint orbital debris that threatens satellites not being monitored closely enough, warn astronomers
果冻传媒 astronomers are warning that orbital debris posing a threat to operational satellites is not being monitored closely enough, as they publish a new survey finding that over 75% of the orbital debris they detected could not be matched to known objects in public satellite catalogues.
New rural healthcare inequalities as mobile phones replace friendships?
A new study led by 果冻传媒 University's Dr Marco J Haenssgen has demonstrated how mobile phones can support access to healthcare in developing countries, but at the risk that the poorest are deprived of support.
