Strategic Funding Initiatives Emphasize Disruptive Technologies and Sustainable Development Goals Advancing Global Research Through Strategic Partnerships The São Paulo Research Foundation has released a series of 2026 calls designed to foster interdisciplinary and transformative international collaborations. These initiatives emphasize the use of disruptive technologies to tackle pressing global issues aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. Flagship Multilateral Initiative [...]

FAPESP Sets Strategic Direction for São Paulo Research Through 2028 The São Paulo Research Foundation, known as FAPESP, has established seven key research priorities that will guide its funding decisions from 2026 through 2028. These areas reflect both global scientific trends and pressing local needs in Brazil, with a strong emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration and real-world impact. Approved by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees in March 2026, the priorities come with an [...]

Astronomical observations show that the most massive galaxies in the early Universe formed approximately 3 to 4 billion years after the Big Bang and stopped producing stars very early in cosmic history, around 1 billion years after their formation. This strange behavior has puzzled experts in the field. For comparison, our galaxy, the Milky Way, is as old as the Universe itself and continues to produce stars, albeit at a low rate, even 13.5 billion years after its formation. A study [...]

Recognizing Excellence in Brazilian Science Communication The 46th edition of the Prêmio José Reis de Divulgação Científica e Tecnológica has highlighted outstanding contributions to making complex scientific ideas accessible to broader audiences across Brazil. In 2026, the award went to the magazine Pesquisa FAPESP in the category for institutions and communication vehicles, alongside journalist Bernardo Esteves Gonçalves da Costa in the individual journalist category. This [...]

SUZHOU, China, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WuXi Vaccines, a wholly-owned subsidiary of WuXi Biologics, dedicated to vaccine Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO), announced today that its drug substance facility (MFG23) located in Suzhou has received Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification from Brazil's Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA). The facility is providing integrated manufacturing services for Instituto [...]

An international team of researchers has identified a new fuel-efficient route between Earth and the Moon that also avoids the kind of communications blackout the Artemis II crew experienced when their spacecraft slipped behind the lunar far side in April. The trajectory, published in the journal Astrodynamics by a group led by Allan Kardec de Almeida Júnior at the University of Coimbra, uses roughly 58.80 metres per second less change in velocity than the most efficient previously known [...]

The scientific literature already contains robust evidence that obesity, whether maternal or paternal, can lead to metabolic changes in offspring that increase their risk of developing diseases. A new study published in the journal Nature Communications reveals the mechanism by which this "inheritance" is transmitted to the embryo by the father via the sperm. In experiments with mice, the authors observed that the offspring of obese males were born at a normal weight. However, as the [...]

Depression affects about 5.8% of the Brazilian population and presents a wide range of symptoms, intensities, and durations. A study published in Scientific Reports involving patients with major depressive disorder demonstrated that the severity of symptoms, as measured by the Hamilton Depression Scale, and the length of time a person remains depressed (chronicity), are both associated with changes in brain function. For the study, researchers from the University of São Paulo (USP) in [...]
