Concordia

The rising temperatures on Earth pose “serious ecological impacts,” scientists said

After spending four months in darkness, the crew of the Concordia research station in Antarctica has finally witnessed the sun again.

The sunset on May 13 was the last one Antarctica will see in the next four months. The ESA said this is a very exciting time for its researchers.

On the evening of January 13, 2012, Umberto Trotti heard the terrified cries of his wife and baby in the lifeboat below, and threw himself off the capsizing Italian cruise ship.

Two researchers at one of the coldest and most remote places on earth - the Concordia Station in Antarctica - are documenting what the low temperatures can do to their food, and their mind-blowing pictures are now viral on social media.

Want to keep your brain young? Take the stairs, say scientists who found that moderate physical activity can significantly slow down grey-matter ageing.

Tablets, smartphones and YouTube can go a long way in helping people with intellectual disability (ID) cope up with these challenges, say researchers from Concordia University in Montreal.

Tens of thousands of people in several South American countries are spending the holidays in shelters after massive flooding forced them from their homes.

An Indian-origin engineer and his team from Concordia University have created a technology to harness the electrical energy from blue-green algae.

Three years after he lost his life in the Costa Concordia ship capsize off the coast of Italy, Russel Rebello was laid to rest near his home in Naigaon, in Mumbai's outskirts, on Sunday. His remains had been found on November 3, 2014, on the eighth floor of the sunken ship, and Mr Rebello's family have expressed gratitude for the closure.

An Italian court sentenced the former captain of the Costa Concordia cruise liner to 16 years in prison on Wednesday for his role in the 2012 shipwreck that killed 32 people off the Tuscan holiday island of Giglio.

The Italian ex-captain of the doomed Costa Concordia claimed at his manslaughter trial Saturday that "with 30 more seconds" -- and warning from his crew -- the cruise ship's deadly crash could have been averted.

The captain of the Costa Concordia told his manslaughter trial Wednesday that gravity not cowardice had been behind his decision to abandon ship with passengers and crew still aboard.

Costa Concordia captain Francesco Schettino told a court Tuesday that he was showing off when he steered the cruise ship onto rocks off the Italian island of Giglio.

The body of the last missing victim of Italy's 2012 cruise ship disaster was found on Monday on board the wrecked Costa Concordia, which is being dismantled in Genoa, Italian media reported.
