LIFE+EMaRES

The third law of thermodynamics states that the Universe’s entropy is constantly increasing. The Entropy is a scientific and extremely complex concept which, translated in simpler terms, represents the level of “Disorder” of a given system. It is impossible to reduce the Universe’s...

High Reliability MEMS redundancy Switch

Reliability is a major issue for any satellite since it is almost impossible to envisage any repair work during the full mission lifetime e.g. 15 years for today’s telecommunications satellites. Redundancy is implemented in order...

The Drosophila Neural Network

Designing reliable networks is a fundamental issue in many application domains, such as transportation, computer networking and power supply. The reliability of a network is often described by its robustness under errors or attacks. Most...

ARES: Advanced Networking for EU genomic research

The completion of the human genome sequencing project represented a major milestone in the field of biological and medical sciences. It happened about ten years ago in the framework of the US project Human Genome....
