Press releases and news
The European company Gauss Fusion and ENEA (National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development) have signed a partnership to develop technologies related to nuclear fusion. ENEA and Gauss Fusion intend to develop solutions in the following key areas for the development of fusion energy: blanket, fuel cycle, superconductivity and neutronics.
ENEA has developed AI tools to improve your workforce's safety and efficiency. The first tests proved effective in two different working contexts, a multinational pharmaceutical company and an Italian metalworking company.
Creating new materials for innovative and high-efficiency photovoltaic cells that make it possible to reduce the space taken by the systems, cut costs and lessen their environmental impact, so encouraging technological transfer towards industry, is the goal of the project GOPV, coordinated by ENEA, which includes the universities of Naples "Federico II", Catania, Perugia, Rome Tor Vergata and Pavia, the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) and the company BeDimensional.
Creating new resistant, lightweight and low-cost composite materials for the automotive and aerospace sectors from carbon fiber processing waste is the goal of the three-year project MARiS, funded by the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy with over 5 million euro which includes ENEA, Aerosoft spa (leader), Cnr (Institute for polymers, composites and biomaterials), University of Salerno (Department of Physics) and ATM srl.
ENEA sta approfondendo il tema della riqualificazione energetica negli edifici storici, nel rispetto del valore storico-artistico degli immobili, utilizzando come casi pilota gli edifici nel parco archeologico dell’Appia Antica a Roma. L’attività è condotta dal Dipartimento per l’Efficienza energetica, nell’ambito dell’accordo di programma con il Ministero dell’Ambiente e della Sicurezza Energetica per l’attuazione del Piano triennale di Ricerca di Sistema Elettrico 2022-2024.
ENEA researchers are developing nutraceuticals prepared from orange, lemon and red vine extracts to lower high blood sugar, as part of the Med-Matrix-3 project, funded by the nutraceutical company Esserre.
