The study, coordinated by researcher Mariano de Souza from São Paulo State University, was conducted with the participation of Constantino Tsallis, the creator of non-extensive statistical mechanics. The results were published in the journal Physical Review B.
Researchers from the Federal University of São Paulo used oysters and mussels as sentinel organisms to assess the presence of these pollutants. The results show that even the most restrictive sites for human presence have significant contamination.
Created by Claro, FAPESP and the University of São Paulo, the initiative will involve more than one hundred researchers in the development of disruptive solutions in three areas: Smart Cities, Industry 4.0 and Agrotech.
In animal tests, researchers from the University of São Paulo observed that changes in insulin signaling in the brain affected both memory and the frequency and severity of seizures. The findings support clinical evidence and point the way to new therapeutic approaches.
The conclusion comes from a study conducted at the University of São Paulo with 595 participants between the ages of 18 and 59. The analysis shows a link between insomnia and high levels of neuroticism, and points to anxiety as part of the problem.
In order to improve the performance of photoelectrocatalysts that act in the “separation” of H2, work carried out at a FAPESP-supported research center uses light and glycerol to eliminate unwanted compounds resulting from the reaction of these materials with organic molecules.
Center for Research on Redox Processes in Biomedicine
Brazilian researchers observed increased connections between neurons in rodents after inducing an increase in the synthesis of hevin – a glycoprotein naturally produced by astrocytes.

At the 2nd FAPESP 2025 Conference, the French anthropologist and ethnologist Michel Agier exposed the ethical and political limits of contemporary society. He proposed the African concepts of Zumunti, Teranga and Ubuntu as cosmopolitical horizons for a common life.
This natural protein, called CelOCE, was obtained at the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials and can be immediately incorporated into the industrial process. The discovery was published in the journal Nature.
The center is a research unit dedicated to exploring and developing advanced data science and artificial intelligence solutions with a focus on improving the efficiency, innovation and competitiveness of industries.
