Over the decades, the Library has become a key pillar for all those seeking knowledge, inspiration and research resources in the natural sciences, engineering and many other fields of expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From its humble beginnings as a place to borrow specialised literature, the library has grown from a distinctive institution combining a rich collection of modern information technology and professionally trained staff. Our library has always kept pace with the needs and demands of the profession and adapted to a changing world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are proud to have been able to become a place where students, researchers and experts meet, exchange ideas and create new knowledge. As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we are celebrating not only our past achievements, but also all the opportunities that lie ahead. It is important that we remain true to our mission of being a beacon of knowledge that will continue to shine through time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to the growth and success of our library. Your support, cooperation and trust are crucial for our future. May this anniversary be a moment for reflection and gratitude, as well as an opportunity for new impetus in the decades to come. Knowing that research and the dissemination of knowledge is an eternal quest, we invite you to continue to co-create the future of our CTK with us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column

how past respiratory viral infections affect future unrelated infections could lead to therapies to boost general antiviral immunity - and possible pandemic preparedness. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are more than 200 different viruses in the world that can cause infection and then disease in humans. Most of us will be infected several times in our lifetime. Can an encounter with one virus affect how our immune system will react to another? If so, how? Does it weaken your defences, strengthen them or have some other effect?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By analysing mice infected first with SARS-CoV-2 and then with influenza A virus, the scientists found that getting sick with COVID has a protective effect against the worst effects of flu, and that this memory response comes from an unexpected part of the immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It turns out that epigenetic changes in macrophages (innate immune cells that are among the first to respond to the threat of the virus) after the COVID epidemic developed a kind of \"memory\" that allowed these cells to better defend themselves against the unrelated virus. Scientists have long thought that immunological memory was limited to adaptive immune cells, although recent research suggests otherwise. The more interesting fact is that what the macrophages remembered was not unique to any particular virus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Rockefeller University, 30 September 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find out more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rockefeller.edu\/news\/36603-could-a-bout-of-covid-protect-you-from-a-severe-case-of-flu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rockefeller.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prepared by: dr.

A new global database on the distribution and evolutionary history of all Asteraceae species has now been compiled and analysed by an international research team. The researchers found that an unexpectedly large number of evolutionary events - known as 'speciation', where a new plant species evolves from a common ancestor - have occurred in the aster family over relatively short periods of time on many islands around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: University of G\u00f6ttingen, 30 September 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find out more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-goettingen.de\/en\/3240.html?id=7545\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">uni-goettingen.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prepared by: dr.

This is to counter what the European Commission has described as unfair subsidies from Beijing to Chinese manufacturers. Beijing denies unfair competition and has threatened counter-measures. Some Chinese manufacturers are already considering that the long-term solution is to start building vehicles in the region or to invest in European factories to avoid the duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The escalating tensions between China and the EU have spilled over into the Paris Motor Show.

Hera will fly into space on Falcon 9, a SpaceX rocket. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earth and asteroids collide all the time, but it's mostly smaller rocks. The main source of most asteroids at our end of the Solar System is the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, where there are more than a million asteroids larger than one kilometre across, plus lots of smaller ones. Jupiter's gravity occasionally pushes an asteroid towards the inner part of the Solar System, but there are also threats from more distant parts of the Solar System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The list of potentially hazardous asteroids over the next 100 years is being calculated and updated in <a href=\"https:\/\/cneos.jpl.nasa.gov\/sentry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Near-Earth Object Studies Centre<\/a>, which operates under the umbrella of NASA. Machine learning methods are also used to help find dangerous asteroids. A possible collision of an asteroid with Earth could be prevented by changing the orbit of the celestial body, either with a nuclear bomb, lasers, gravity tugs or the kinetic missiles mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delo.si\/tisk\/viewer?source=delo&amp;y=2024&amp;md=1003#page=15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">delo.si<\/a> (Japelj Jure, The next step in planetary defence, Delo, 3 October 2024, p. 15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prepared by Mojca Kosem Avsec, mag.

At an altitude of around 60 kilometres, the heat broke through the heat shield and started to eat away at the flaps that stabilise and steer the spacecraft.

This year, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton for their groundbreaking discoveries in machine learning, which have enabled the development of artificial neural networks. These networks, which work in a similar way to the human brain, are key to understanding how computers process and analyse data. Hopfield developed methods that allow patterns to be stored and reconstructed, while Hinton pioneered the autonomous recognition of features in data. Their work is the foundation of modern AI applications, including image recognition and natural language. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Sa\u0161o D\u017eeroski, Head of the Knowledge Technologies Unit at the Jo\u017eef Stefan Institute (IJS), points out that this recognition is important for understanding the impact of AI on different scientific disciplines, from physics to medicine. Despite these achievements, Hinton expresses deep concern about the rapid development of AI, warning that the technology he helped develop poses an existential threat to humanity, as AI could eventually take control of human decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Marko Grobelnik, a research associate at the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the IJS, agrees that the benefits of AI are enormous, but the dangers are just as great. The prize is surprising because it is not directly related to physics, but has a wide impact on various scientific disciplines, including biology and medicine. Artificial intelligence has the potential to influence all aspects of our lives, from healthcare to communications, and this brings with it greater responsibility. D\u017eeroski points out that how we use AI is crucial, and this is linked to our ethical and moral standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the major drawbacks of AI is its inexplicability; we often cannot fully understand how AI reaches its conclusions and this poses additional challenges to trust in the technology. Researchers are working to develop safeguards to prevent unethical use of AI, but this is a complex challenge. AI has the potential to revolutionise our lives, but at the same time we need to be cautious in its development and use. Despite the breakthroughs that AI brings, a key question remains: how will we deal with technology that could exceed our capabilities? Going forward, it will be important to focus on ethical guidelines and safeguards to ensure that AI is a benefit to humanity and not a threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Nobel Prizes will be awarded on 10 December in Oslo and Stockholm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find out more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.delo.si\/novice\/znanoteh\/mocnejsa-kot-je-umetna-inteligenca-vecja-je-nasa-odgovornost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">delo.si<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delo.si\/novice\/znanoteh\/v-stockholmu-bodo-razglasili-nobelove-nagrajence-za-fiziko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">delo.si<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prepared by Sonja Zagorc Konti\u0107, univ. dipl.

Ultrasound represents a promising solution for in vivo therapeutic applications as it allows non-invasive stimulation of cells with high spatial and temporal precision. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remote regulation of cells in deep tissue remains an important challenge. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound offers promise for in vivo therapies due to its non-invasive nature and precise control. This study uses pulsed ultrasound to control calcium influx into mammalian cells and develops a therapeutic cellular device that responds to acoustic stimulation in deep tissue without overexpression of calcium channels or gas vesicles. Pulsed ultrasound parameters are set to induce calcium influx into HEK293 cells. In addition, the cells are engineered to express a designed calcium-responsive transcription factor that controls the expression of a selected therapeutic gene, constituting a therapeutic cellular device. The functionality of the engineered sonogenetic system is demonstrated in vivo in mice, where the implanted cytokine-producing anti-inflammatory cellular device effectively alleviates acute colitis as evidenced by improved colonic morphology and histopathology. This approach provides a powerful tool for precise, localised control of engineered cells in deep tissue, demonstrating its potential for targeted therapeutic delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Institute of Chemistry, 29 August 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Find out more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41467-024-51620-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nature.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prepared by: dr.

This improvement is achieved by adjusting three key factors:&nbsp;<em>(1)<\/em>&nbsp;<em>the time duration of the laser light<\/em>used to excite the material,&nbsp;<em>(2)<\/em>&nbsp;<em>the geometry of the photoacoustic source<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>(3)<\/em>&nbsp;<em>the nature of the light-absorbing material<\/em>.

This composite shows relatively high optical absorption and good homogeneity even when the thickness is reduced below 10 \u00b5m, which is an advantage for the fabrication of photoacoustic transducers. The key advantage of using graphene is, in particular, its good stability in different solvents, without the need for special surface pre-treatment, and the possibility of in situ decoration of graphene with gold nanoparticles without the use of additional reducing agents.

The development and optimisation of a prototype magnetocaloric refrigeration device that will maintain vaccine temperatures between 2 and 8 \u00b0C will significantly reduce vaccine wastage and improve vaccine availability worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs.uni-lj.si\/sporocila-za-javnost\/projekt-magccine-pridobil-financiranje-na-razpisu-horizon-europe-za-razvoj-inovativne-tehnologije-hlajenja-cepiv\/\">fs.uni-lj.si<\/a> (accessed 14 October 2024)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prepared by Mojca Kosem Avsec, mag.

wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the last decade, there has been increasing talk about open science, which aims to make research data available to researchers and the wider public on a FAIR basis and to facilitate its re-use. The project <a href=\"https:\/\/projekt-spoznaj.si\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GET TO KNOW<\/a> was therefore <strong>the first handbook on open science, entitled <em>Get to know \"FAIR\", Handbook on Open Science in Slovenia<\/em><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It raises fundamental issues related to the implementation of open science and illustrates existing solutions and options for its development. It is a collaborative effort between representatives of the various research organisations involved in the KNOW project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the editor, Dr Sonja Bezjak, the aim of the handbook is to introduce the basic concepts of open science to various actors from a wide range of scientific disciplines in the Slovenian language, and to introduce them to the research infrastructure and services that serve open science in the Slovenian environment, while at the same time being inextricably linked to the European and broader international research space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Handbook is aimed at researchers at different stages of their scientific careers, research funders, research organisation management, libraries, data professionals in various roles, publication and data repositories, publishers and editors of scientific journals, citizen researchers and others working in science or with an interest in scientific results and the processes by which they are produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim is for them to identify opportunities to contribute to open science, learn about their responsibilities and find information on where to find support or who to support and how to do so. The authors hope that it will help readers to develop a culture of open sharing of the various scientific outputs funded by public money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The handbook is available to all interested parties in full digital format and will be available in print in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PDF: <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.26493\/978-961-293-328-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.26493\/978-961-293-328-9<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HTML: &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hippocampus.si\/ISBN\/978-961-293-329-6\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.hippocampus.si\/ISBN\/978-961-293-329-6\/index.html<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prepared by Petra Kregar, IPPR (PR support) and Magdalena Gapsa, MSc in Slovene Philology, Research Data Info Specialist<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The project \"KNOW -

For example, some birds control pests by eating insects, scavengers recycle carrion, others eat fruit and spread seeds, which allows more plants and trees to grow, and some, such as hummingbirds, are very important pollinators.

This discovery opens up new possibilities for developing bacteria-based engineering solutions to help clean up plastic waste that would otherwise be difficult to dispose of.<strong> <\/strong>Northwestern University has discovered a process by which cells of the bacterium Comamonas break down plastic. First, they chew the plastic into small pieces called nanoplastics. Then they secrete a special enzyme that breaks down the plastic even further.

As the name suggests, there are two essential features: \"small\" means that they are small power generating units, and \"modular\" means that as many components as possible are manufactured in factories and assembled on site to form a complete unit. SMRs are compact units, typically up to 300 MW. The reactors are designed to provide a high level of safety and flexibility to integrate with renewable energy sources, which helps to reduce emissions. The smaller size of the reactors allows for a lower initial investment, which is particularly attractive for remote areas where a large nuclear infrastructure is not feasible. Among the most promising technologies are pressurised water and boiling water reactors based on known concepts, as well as advanced systems such as molten salt reactors. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, there are small nuclear reactors of just 10 MW in use in navies, with more than 160 ships and submarines equipped with these reactors. These reactors are much smaller than those on land, and this is particularly true of nuclear submarines, which are almost miniature compared with conventional power stations. They are designed with an excellent weight\/power ratio, which allows them to operate for a long time without changing fuel and to be highly strategic, while they must also remain extremely quiet to avoid detection. The economics of these reactors are not crucial, as the navies of the major superpowers are not burdened by the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, the only commercially operating SMR is Russia's Akademik Lomonosov, a 32 MW floating nuclear power plant. Nevertheless, more than 90 different designs are being developed around the world, showing the potential of this technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SMRs offer promising opportunities for innovation in nuclear energy, with the promise of lower risk and faster construction. Challenges include poor economic indicators and lengthy regulatory processes that hinder their widespread adoption. For SMRs to become a key part of a sustainable energy infrastructure, they will need to overcome these obstacles and demonstrate their benefits in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/jek2.si\/mali-modularni-reaktorji\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">jek2.si<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jedrska.si\/pojasnjujemo\/238-mali-modularni-reaktorji-kaj-sploh-so-kaksna-sta-njihov-namen-in-potencial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nuclear.si<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prepared by Sonja Zagorc Konti\u0107, univ. dipl.
