Surface warming in Antarctica since 1950, particularly over the Antarctic Peninsula, is significantly altering the stability of the lowest layers of the atmosphere. This is one of the key findings of a study conducted by ENEA together with a group of scientists from six international institutions  and published in Journal of Climate.

The sixth Annual Report on the Energy Certification of Buildings, representing the main tool for monitoring and analyzing the energy performance of Italy’s building stock, has been presented during a conference held at the European Parliament headquarters. The Report was prepared by ENEA and the Italian Thermotechnical Committee for Energy and Environment (CTI) with the contribution of data provided by the Regions and Autonomous Provinces.

ENEA has received formal recognition of the quality and reliability of its Secondary Calibration Laboratory for Ionizing Radiation (LAT) with Accredia certification for the provision of accurate and reliable dosimetry measurements. This accreditation certifies the competence and impartiality of ENEA-LAT in performing gamma radiation measurements and will contribute to protecting workers' health and the safety of environments with ionizing radiation.

The correct use of data and digital technologies to improve safety and sustainability of agri-food was the objective of the European project involving ENEA DRG4FOOD, which contributed to the development of various initiatives in a sector increasingly characterized by high levels of technological pervasiveness. For example, GPS and IoT sensors used in precision agriculture, which enable farmers to make data-driven decisions to improve efficiency and sustainability or advanced tracking systems that can help consumers verify  authenticity and quality of food products.

Professor Francesco Romanelli, President of the DTT (Divertor Tokamak Test) Consortium, has passed away at the age of 69. He was a leading figure at both the national and international levels in the field of nuclear fusion.

Since June 2021, Romanelli had led the Consortium for the construction of the DTT at the ENEA Frascati Research Center, one of the most ambitious scientific projects to achieve fusion power production at power plant scale.

New solutions for organic waste management in Mediterranean countries will be developed and tested as part of the €2.5 million European MEDWISE project, involving seven partners from six countries, including ENEA and the University of Catania (coordinator) for Italy.
