The FAPESP-supported company is developing critical equipment to make electric and hybrid aircraft models and eVTOLs viable; these technologies will be presented at VivaTech in France.
The optimized extraction of sugars, organic acids, and phenolic compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties uses only water, making it promising for applications in the biofuels, pharmaceutical, and food industries.
Researchers from the University of São Paulo and collaborators conducted a comprehensive review of the available literature on the subject, which included more than 13,000 articles.
The finding was based on questionnaires applied to 313 Brazilian women in their 30s. The results indicate that, although the reported discomforts negatively affect the participants’ quality of life and sexual health, they tend to normalize them.
Future Cow uses precision fermentation to create dairy ingredients in a sustainable way; the startup, supported by FAPESP, was selected to participate in VivaTech, one of Europe’s largest innovation events.
The study, coordinated by researcher Mariano de Souza from São Paulo State University, was conducted with the participation of Constantino Tsallis, the creator of non-extensive statistical mechanics. The results were published in the journal Physical Review B.
The material is as efficient as silicon in generating clean energy and has lower production costs, greater lightness and flexibility. Its rapid degradation is one of the main obstacles to overcome to make its use viable.
Researchers from the Federal University of São Paulo used oysters and mussels as sentinel organisms to assess the presence of these pollutants. The results show that even the most restrictive sites for human presence have significant contamination.
Created by Claro, FAPESP and the University of São Paulo, the initiative will involve more than one hundred researchers in the development of disruptive solutions in three areas: Smart Cities, Industry 4.0 and Agrotech.
In animal tests, researchers from the University of São Paulo observed that changes in insulin signaling in the brain affected both memory and the frequency and severity of seizures. The findings support clinical evidence and point the way to new therapeutic approaches.
The conclusion comes from a study conducted at the University of São Paulo with 595 participants between the ages of 18 and 59. The analysis shows a link between insomnia and high levels of neuroticism, and points to anxiety as part of the problem.
A group led by researchers at the A.C.Camargo Cancer Center has succeeded in improving CAR-T cells, making them more effective in treating refractory types of lymphoma and leukemia.
Digital tool developed by researchers at the University of São Paulo measures employee health indices and guides more efficient corporate actions for well-being at work.
