The European Commission has announced details of the 2015 Work Programme, including the ones for Horizon 2020.

The 2015 programme is allocating a total of 2.7 billion euros to the Excellent Science pillar, down from e billion in 2014, and 2.3 billion to the Societal Challenges, a decrease from 2.8 billion euros; the total budget of Horizon 2020 remains the same at 78.6 billion euors, but there are still annual fluctuations in funding.
Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science, said: “We are also firing the starting gun on the 2015 calls, and I am confident they will meet equally strong demand.”

Within the Work Programme, the EU Commission has announced the opening and closing date of new 2015 calls as well:

Discovered a New Carbon-Carbon Chemical Bond

di Chiara D'Errico
Pubblicato il 16/10/2024

A group of researchers from Hokkaido University has provided the first experimental evidence of the existence of a new type of chemical bond: the single-electron covalent bond, theorized by Linus Pauling in 1931 but never verified until now. Using derivatives of hexaarylethane (HPE), the scientists were able to stabilize this unusual bond between two carbon atoms and study it with spectroscopic techniques and X-ray diffraction. This discovery opens new perspectives in understanding bond chemistry and could lead to the development of new materials with innovative applications.

Chemistry

After nearly a year of review, on September 25, a study was published in Nature that has sparked a lot of discussion, especially among chemists. A group of researchers from Hokkaido University synthesized a molecule that experimentally demonstrated the existence of a new type of chemical bond, something that does not happen very often.
