In today’s episode, we’ll dive into the world of new genomic techniques and their application in the agricultural sector.
Once again, our journey will take us to the UK, more precisely in Hertfordshire, a county in southeast England. Here, a group of scientists is running Europe’s first gene-edited wheat field trial created through CRISPR-Cas.
We’ll quickly realise that just like their ancestors, NGTs are a highly divisive topic.

The Artemis program, Mars exploration, and the future of the International Space Station mark an exciting era for space. ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano joins Euronews Tech Talks to discuss these projects and Europe's role in them.
Former commander of the International Space Station, Parmitano is now based in Houston, in the United States. There he works as the liaison officer between the European Astronaut Centre and the Johnson Space Centre, he answers the call: “Houston, we have a problem!” and he trains other astronauts for spacewalks.

Although Europe possesses several lithium reserves, many European citizens and environmental groups have strongly opposed mining projects. As a result, Europe remains heavily dependent on importing lithium and lithium-ion batteries.
In today’s episode, Euronews explores the debate over lithium mines in Europe, featuring insights from two experts with differing viewpoints on the issue: Lindsey Wuisan, Resource, Justice, and New Economies' Campaigner at Friends of the Earth Europe, and Peter Tom Jones, Director of the KU Leuven Institute for Sustainable Metals.

Dr. Jessica Studer has spent the last 3 months without seeing daylight. She is spending one year in one of Earth's most extreme places: Antarctica, at Concordia Station.
Her research will help us better understand how humans adapt to hostile environments and how isolation impacts their health and well-being. Additionally, it will shed light on what astronauts experience while traveling in space.

What is quantum computing? How will it simplify our lives, and increase our productivity? What challenges does it face? Is quantum computing ever going to enter our everyday lives, replacing parts of our laptops and smartphones for quicker computations?
And the century's mystery: Is Schrödinger’s cat dead or alive?
We ask all these questions to two experts in quantum computing. Stephanie Wehner is a professor at Delft University of Technology and the director of the Quantum Internet Alliance. Mathias Van Den Bosch works at Thales Alenia Space.

When Emma Müller, a 44-year-old German woman, wakes up each morning, she already has a detailed plan for her health status, dietary suggestions, and exercise recommendations to optimise her day. She works only three days a week thanks to her high productivity levels.
This could be the routine of an average European with advanced quantum computing. When? We spoke with experts on the continent.
