The seismic events in Turkey on February 6, 2023: first satellite radar analyses of ground deformations based on the automatic processing of Sentinel-1 images
Following the two seismic events of February 6, 2023, that devastated South-East Turkey and Northern Syria and caused tens of thousands of victims and incalculable damage, a team of researchers from the Institute for Electromagnetic Sensing of the Environment of the National Research Council (IREA-CNR) has detected the surface deformation field induced by the considered seismic events by applying the Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) technique. This result has been achieved thanks to a system developed by IREA-CNR as part of…

Confirmed the presence of salty liquid water under the south polar cap of Mars
A new study conducted by an Italian-American team which includes Francesco Soldovieri, director of the CNR Institute for Electromagnetic Sensing of the Environment, and published in Nature Communications, confirms the hypothesis - put forward for the first time in 2018 – of the presence of liquid salt water in the subsoil of the Red Planet. The discovery of the presence of salt water under the southern polar cap of Mars, made possible thanks to an investigation conducted with the Italian…

NextGEM, the European project to clarify the risks of radio frequency electromagnetic fields
The rapid advances in recent years in the field of wireless technologies that use radiofrequency electromagnetic fields and the evolution of their applications (mobile phone systems and wifi) have led to increasing concern about the possible adverse effects on the health of the exposed population, especially against 5G technology which is perceived by some as a serious threat to public health. To clarify the topic and provide reliable information accessible to all, the NextGEM (Next Generation Integrated Sensing and Analytical System…
