Nova's nanotechnology institute has agreed with the Macau University of Science and Technology to train its students in Lisbon from 2027/2028, with 35 to 55 a year expected. The university making the commitment still has no confirmed rector.
A survey by 31 researchers from 11 Portuguese institutions counts 231 non-indigenous marine species against 133 ten years ago. Shipping is the main route, Sines is a strategic entry point, and MARE says no compliance reports on ballast-water treatment are published in Portugal.
Astro Power, run at NOVA's Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia, turns muscle activity into sound so the user can hear their own power output. Trials with 23 people aged 63 to 78 recorded faster squats and higher peak force. A month in orbit costs about a year of muscle ageing.
REN estimates Wednesday's total solar eclipse will cut about 450 MW of solar generation — roughly 7% of demand and 45% of expected solar output — in minutes. On a grid now 70% renewable, hydro and gas must fill the gap, and homes with rooftop panels will draw from the grid too.
A magnitude 3.4 earthquake struck about 18 km east of Odemira at 03:08 on Monday, felt across the Beja and Setúbal districts at intensity IV–V but causing no injuries or damage, according to IPMA, which also logged a smaller, unfelt tremor off Cape St Vincent.
Portugal sees its first total solar eclipse since 1912 on Wednesday, 12 August — total only from the uplands near Bragança and partial elsewhere, with about 94% of the Sun covered in Lisbon. Health officials are urging ISO 12312-2 certified glasses, warning that around one in five eye injuries can b
Since 22 July, an infrasound station on Faial has joined sensors on Graciosa, São Jorge and Terceira, feeding the IVAR–CIVISA network that in 2022 detected the Hunga Tonga eruption more than 16,000 kilometres away.
