Even in the chaos of war, parents can be a shield. A new study finds that parental emotional support helps protect children from anxiety and distress—even when parents themselves suffer from trauma. By encouraging open conversations and validating emotions, parents create a safe space that strengthens children’s resilience in the face of conflict.

With heatwaves among Europe's deadliest climate hazards, a team of scientists led by CMCC has developed a prediction system capable of providing helpful information 4 to 7 weeks before summer, which gives valuable time to improve preparedness.

Trained on data from centuries of climate analysis up to recent years, the machine learning system has demonstrated an increase in forecast efficiency by drastically reducing the computational resources required, making these techniques accessible to a broader number of researchers and institutions.
