Researchers have successfully mapped the entire genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle. The breakthrough paves the way for new research into bark beetles and better prospects for effective pest control of a species that can destroy more than 100 million cubic metres of spruce forest during a single year in Europe and Asia. Mapping the genome of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle enables a far deep

New international research has improved the accuracy of the parameters governing the expansion of the universe. This will help astronomers determine how the universe grew to its current state - and how it will evolve in the future. Małgorzata Bogdan, statistics professor at Lund University in Sweden, is one of the scientists behind the study. It is well established that the universe is expanding.

Research in particle physics often relies on sizable, cutting-edge computing resources for analysing large datasets, producing simulation samples, or developing and running complex machine learning models. While particle physics has been a pioneer in dealing with many “big science” issues and raised the stakes in the Large Hadron Collider era,today it is by no means isolated. More and more researc
