(Press-News.org) Professor Matt Rosseinsky, from the University of Liverpool’s Department of Chemistry and Materials Innovation Factory, was presented with the 2023 Eni Energy Frontiers Award by Sergio Mattarella, the President of the Republic of Italy, at a ceremony in Rome this week.

Professor Rosseinsky received the  prestigious Eni Award for the digital design and discovery of next-generation energy materials.

The presentation ceremony took place at the Palazzo del Quirinale in Rome which was also attended by Giuseppe Zafarana, Chairman of Eni and Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni.

Professor Rosseinsky said: “It was a great honour to be presented with this award by the President of Italy in the historic setting of the Quirinal Palace in Rome. The award recognises work that wouldn’t have been possible without the support of colleagues in Liverpool and our collaborators in industry and academia.”

The Italian energy company Eni founded the Eni Awards to promote the importance of scientific research in energy, in particular noting the absence of a Nobel Prize for energy research and the critical nature of energy for our future.

Now in their fifteenth year, the awards are considered an international benchmark for energy research with previous winners including Nobel laureates such as Harold W. Kroto and Alan Heeger.

The Eni Award’s Scientific Committee is made up of scientists from top global research institutions and has included 6 Nobel laureates over the years. Professor Moungi Bawendi from MIT, 2023 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, attended the ceremony.

Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Liverpool and a Fellow of the Royal Society since 2008, Matt Rosseinsky’s research is pushing new boundaries in how new energy materials are designed and discovered through the use of digital tools.

He and his research team have developed an approach that fuses new digital tools with the experimental exploration of uncharted chemistry to produce new energy materials.

Study focusing on Black cancer survivors documents how exposure to racial discrimination impacts care

2023-10-18
The medical community has understood for some time that experiences with discrimination are bad for the health of people from underserved racial or ethnic groups — populations burdened with worse health outcomes than white patients for conditions including many cancers. The effects of chronic stress on the body have been considered one chief culprit.  Now, a research team from the Keck School of Medicine of USC and USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, supported in part by the National Institutes of Health, has added new knowledge about how Black patients in particular are impacted by exposure to discrimination in the course of cancer care. Through interviews ...

Choosing exoskeleton settings like a Pandora radio station

2023-10-18
Images  //  Video  Taking inspiration from music streaming services, a team of engineers at the University of Michigan, Google and Georgia Tech has designed the simplest way for users to program their own exoskeleton assistance settings.   Of course, what's simple for the users is more complex underneath, as a machine learning algorithm repeatedly offers pairs of assistance profiles that are most likely to be comfortable for the wearer. The user then selects one of these two, and the predictor offers another ...

School discipline referrals for substance use increased in Oregon middle schools after legalization of recreational marijuana

2023-10-18
School Discipline Referrals for Substance Use Increased in Oregon Middle Schools after Legalization of Recreational Marijuana A recent study found that Oregon middle school students received office discipline referrals (ODRs) for substance use offenses 30% more often after legalization of recreational marijuana relative to comparison schools in other states over the same period (school years 2012/2013 – 2018/2019). There were no statistically discernable changes in high school ODRs. Recreational use by adults was legalized in Oregon in 2015. Researchers examined the extent to which legalization of recreational marijuana ...

UMass Amherst Engineering Professor Is Awarded $1.9 Million to Push the Bounds of Cancer, Heart Disease Research  Jinglei Ping will explore a new method of controlling cell communication by electronically regulating exosome traffic through the National Institutes of Health grant  AMHERST, Mass. — The human body is a sophisticated organism that has complex internal communication systems down to a cellular level. However, these systems transmit more than just messages about healthy human functions; they can also influence disease.   Consider cancer. Jinglei Ping poses the question: “How do unhealthy cells transport their own cancer ...

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE UNTIL 4 P.M. ET, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2023 MINNEAPOLIS – Having a COVID-19 infection is associated with an increased risk of developing the rare disorder called Guillain-Barré syndrome within the next six weeks, according to a study published in the October 18, 2023, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The study also found that people who received the mRNA vaccine from Pfizer-BioNTech were less likely to develop the ...

Protecting polar bears aim of new and improved radar technology

Protecting polar bears aim of new and improved radar technology
2023-10-18
Research testing new technology to more effectively locate polar bear dens across the Arctic is showing promising results. Researchers from Simon Fraser University and Brigham Young University (BYU), collaborating with Polar Bears International, hope that improving detection tools to locate dens—which are nearly invisible and buried under snow—will help efforts to protect mother polar bears and their cubs.  Results of a pilot study aimed at improving den location in Churchill, Manitoba—using ARTEMIS Inc., an imaging system that relies on Synthetic Aperture Radar, or SAR—are published this week ...

From one nightmare to another. Anthony Fauci’s new concern

2023-10-18
(WASHINGTON) -- “What keeps you up at night?” It’s a question Anthony Fauci, MD, heard repeatedly over the course of his nearly four decades as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health. Now a Distinguished University Professor at Georgetown University School of Medicine and the McCourt School of Public Policy, Fauci says he realized his worst nightmare -- a twist on the usual question -- in January 2020 when the type of virus he most feared triggered a worldwide pandemic. Today, as the COVID-19 pandemic wanes, Fauci describes a new nemesis ...

Robotic prosthetic ankles improve ‘natural’ movement, stability
2023-10-18
Robotic prosthetic ankles that are controlled by nerve impulses allow amputees to move more “naturally,” improving their stability, according to a new study from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “This work focused on ‘postural control,’ which is surprisingly complicated,” says Helen Huang, corresponding author of the study and the Jackson Family Distinguished Professor in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at NC State and UNC. “Basically, when we are standing still, ...

New study suggests promising approach for treating pancreatic cancer

2023-10-18
A new study carried out in mice, led by Queen Mary University of London, has identified cells that drive the spread of pancreatic cancer and discovered a weakness in these cells that could be targeted using existing drugs. This offers a promising new approach for treating pancreatic cancer. The research, published in Science Advances and funded by Barts Charity and Cancer Research UK, found that many patients' pancreatic cancer contains cells called amoeboid cells. These are aggressive, invasive ...
