Hemoglobin Monza is the name of a newly identified unstable hemoglobin variant associated with acute hemolytic anaemia in paediatric patients. It was discovered at the IRCCS San Gerardo dei Tintori Foundation in Monza and studied using artificial intelligence and other advanced techniques.

The MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array (MPTA) collaboration has confirmed evidence of a cosmic gravitational wave background, a signal believed to originate from a population of spiralling supermassive black hole binaries. Thanks to its unprecedented sensitivity, the MPTA experiment stands out as the most powerful detector of ultra-low-frequency gravitational waves in the southern hemisphere. This capability has enabled researchers to precisely map the distribution of gravitational waves across the universe.

With the European funding awarded to Professor Pietro Sternai from the Department of Environmental and Earth Sciences, Milano-Bicocca will lead the MATRICs research project. The project aims to reconstruct the effects of volcanic CO2 emissions on Earth's climate in its geological past to enhance understanding of the consequences of anthropogenic emissions on the present and future climate.

From the collaboration between the Departments of Earth and Environmental Sciences and Psychology comes "Spot the Monk Observatory", a user-friendly platform designed to monitor DNA traces of the most iconic inhabitant of our seas.

The swimming champion and content strategist for a communication agency, who earned her degree in Psychological Sciences and Techniques in 2017 and a master’s degree in Psychology of Social, Decision-Making, and Economic Processes in 2019, has been honoured with the Alumna of the Year award. The recognition, now in its fourth edition, is conferred annually by the BicoccAlumni association.

The inauguration day of the new academic year began with the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Piazza della Scienza, a revitalised space in the heart of the Bicocca campus. The university's special guest was Carlos Moreno, the urban planner who conceptualised the "15-minute city". Attending the event were Alessandro Morelli, Attilio Fontana, Giuseppe Sala, and Giancarlo Tancredi.

A research conducted jointly by the CNR Institute of Materials and the Universities of Trieste, Milan-Bicocca and Vienna has demonstrated a simple and innovative method for creating new materials that combine the versatility of graphene with the robustness of metal atoms.
