The PoliTO Hub will develop joint projects in energy transition, artificial intelligence, smart cities, transportation, architecture, and urban planning.
In an interview with Agência FAPESP, Diva Amon, a scientist from Trinidad and Tobago who led the first Caribbean deep-sea expedition, explains the urgency of keeping specimens and data in their countries of origin and strengthening South-South partnerships.
At the 6th FAPESP 2026 Conference, the quantum technologies coordinator at Brazil’s largest private bank demonstrated how current research can reveal applications, anticipate risks, and develop expertise in a technology that has yet to reach large-scale commercial use.
Developed at the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials, this technology enables the three-dimensional cultivation of cells and allows for a more accurate assessment of the toxicity of drugs, nanomaterials, and pollutants.
A mathematical model developed by researchers at the State University of Campinas reveals that small fluctuations in the electrical potential difference can characterize electrode microstructure and help monitor battery degradation.
A study conducted at São Paulo State University evaluated 31 species of trees and shrubs in the Itirapina region, located in the central-eastern part of the state of São Paulo, Brazil.
The technology developed at the University of São Paulo keeps strontium particles isolated, paving the way for the production, manipulation, and entanglement of qubits.
Research from São Paulo State University indicates that daily precipitation monitoring allows scientists to track moisture sources and can serve as an early warning system for droughts.
A review study compiling scientific data from 55 countries reveals alarming levels of pollution in urban and aquatic environments. Not even protected and remote areas are completely free from the problem.
Written by historian Lorena Féres da Silva Telles and recently published by the University of Georgia Press, the book reconstructs the life stories of women in the largest slave-holding city of the 19th century.
The data are from a project linked to the Center for Research and Innovation in Mental Health, one of the Applied Research Centers funded by FAPESP. The study was conducted with 1,158 caregivers of young people aged 14 to 23.
A clinical trial conducted at the University of São Paulo demonstrated that both non-pharmacological approaches improve quality of life and alleviate respiratory and anxiety symptoms in the medium term.
Developed at the Institute of Food Technology with support from FAPESP, the innovation could serve as an alternative to proteins from soybeans or peas, which are largely imported.
Report indicates that, rather than competing in areas such as artificial intelligence, science-based startups should prioritize regional strategic assets, such as biodiversity, to develop unique solutions that are difficult to replicate globally.
Identification paves the way to accelerate and reduce the cost of more precise cultivar development.
A research group from the University of São Paulo analyzed over 1,600 articles and found that research increased by 9.5% annually between 1974 and 2025. The authors advocate for regionalized solutions and public policies to bridge the gap between evidence and implementation.
A study followed more than 3,000 people over the age of 60 for eight years and found that this decline is not observed in women.
Research on sickle cell anemia spurred the development of genetic technologies, but there is an urgent need to democratize access to modern therapies, noted French hematologist Jacques Elion at a conference hosted by FAPESP.
Startup develops a sensor that measures interactions between molecules with high precision, which can reduce the time and costs of discovering drug candidates.
Study reveals that tapirs, peccaries, agoutis, and deer act as true ecosystem engineers by reducing soil acidity, increasing diversity, and accelerating the decomposition of organic matter in the forest.
Study involving the Center for the Development of Functional Materials was published in the journal Ceramics International.
