For the first time it has been shown that deficits of semantic memory, an ability we use to recognise objects and use them correctly, are involved in specific eating disorders shared by patients suffering from dementia...
On the occasion of the funeral that is held in Trieste, today, SISSA expresses its deep closeness to the families of the two police officers killed in the tragic shootout that took place in the Trieste Police Headquarters...
Based on the first sounds that arrive to it directly, the brain makes a prediction, “suggesting” a solution. A new study by SISSA, in association with the Universities of Liverpool and Cambridge...
Two important initiatives pay tribute to the multifaced talent and the exceptional scientific career of SISSA professor Giuseppe Mussardo. On Saturday 26 October his new book dedicated to Giacomo Leopardi and his scientific interests will be previewed at Ubik bookstore...
Quantum mechanics is singular among physical theories in that it does not make clear statements about what actually exists. Reality seems to 'depend on the observer'. On Wednesday 16 October Antony Valentini...
An international team of astronomers has discovered a collection of 12 galaxies in the constellation Cetus which existed about 13.0 billion years ago. This is the earliest protocluster ever found. SISSA scientist Darko Donevski is one of the research authors...
A group of researchers led by Professor Michele Giugliano of SISSA has shed light for the first time on the cellular mechanisms behind the phenomenon of “co-relation”, in which individual neurons do not always act as independent units in receiving and transmitting information...
The Festival for the Scientific Research “Trieste NeXT” returns in Trieste. Conferences, workshops, talks, open-air activities and many other events will take place from 27 until 29 September in the city centre...
From 27 January to 2 February 2020 an international conference will be held at SISSA to celebrate the occasion of Gianni Dal Maso's 65th Birthday. The workshop will focus on the most recent...
In the last few years, especially after di introduction of new evaluation criteria, more ‘missions’ have been assigned to Universities. Among those, the goal of interacting with society to generate impact has been called “third mission”. But does this variety of missions actually exists? What do we mean by impact on society? The contribution of research ...
SISSA Colloquia are back on Wednesday 25 September with a talk by Roberta Sinatra of ITU Copenhagen...
Moving through cosmic forests and spider webs in deep space in search of answers on the origin of the Cosmos ...
The fifth edition of School of Neuroethics, entitled “Emotions, language self-control. Neurosciences, cognitive sciences, ethics and clinic of dependencies ” will be held in Trieste from 16 to 18 of September. The focus of the school will be...
How do astronauts perceive smells during a mission? What are the novelties in the treatment of anosmia (loss of smell)? How different is our way of “smelling” things from that of a midge? Smell and taste will be the focus of the annual European Chemoreception Research Organization (ECRO) meeting ...
16 September is the deadline to enroll in the Master's Course in Science Communication F.Prattico of SISSA, which for more than 25 years has trained the science communication professionals, with great success in facilitating student entry into employment...
Theoretical physicists from SISSA and the University of California at Davis lay brand new foundations to such a fundamental process as heat transport in materials, which finally allow crystals, polycrystalline solids...
The 2019 Dirac Medal winners were announced yesterday. This year Prize goes to Viatcheslav Mukhanov (Ludwig-Maximilians- Universität, Munich), Alexei Starobinsky (Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics) and Rashid Sunyaev (Max-Planck Institute for Astrophysics, Garching) ...
Researchers have, for the first time, identified the sufficient and necessary conditions that the low-energy limit of quantum gravity theories must satisfy to preserve the main features of the Unruh effect.
The MIT-FVG Project promoting scientific collaborations between MIT and SISSA, University of Udine and University of Trieste researchers is open for the 2019-2020 MISTI's Global Seed Funds call for proposals...
Carbon nanotubes able to take on the desired shapes thanks to a special chemical treatment, called crosslinking and, at the same time, able to function as substrata for the growth of nerve cells, finely tuning their growth and activity...
