Alpha Vet Tech’s WirelessZoo technology transforms animal health surveillance and provides data-rich veterinary care focused on welfare. Veterinary surveillance has long presented a paradox. Although accurate vital signs are essential for diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, the methods used to capture them are often invasive, episodic, or stressful for both patients and clinicians. Manual thermometers, chest straps, and wired ECGs remain standard in many practices. WirelessZoo, a wearable surveillance platform developed by Alpha Vet Tech, offers a new alternative. Designed in collaboration with veterinarians, nurses and researchers, the system continuously captures and transmits real-time vital signs data to minimize the natural…

Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire have won more than £59 million conference business through ongoing collaborations with partners, including the Aberdeen Convention Bureau, P&J Live and the University of Aberdeen. Together, the teams have successfully competed with other UK and European cities, gather experts for conferences, exhibitions, and exhibitions, networks, knowledge sharing, and demonstrate the latest research into global and national business events. The secured business events include the Global Agritourism Conference 2026, the European Association for Social Work Research 2026, and the European Nonlinear Vibration Conference 2027.

Palestinians held a march in the occupied West Bank city of Ramala to commemorate the mass confiscation of Naqbah, or “catastrophe,” during Israel’s founding in 1948. While Israeli leaders continue to express their desire to empty Palestinian territory, more than 50,000 people have been killed in Gaza since October 2023, and aid lockdowns have threatened hunger. Israeli forces, which had also been occupied by the West Bank since 1967, have driven out tens of thousands of people from refugee camps as part of a major military operation. This year marks the 77th anniversary of Naqba, an estimated 750,000 Palestinians fled…

An international collaboration between Virginia Tech, USA and Bowen University, Nigeria is poised to highlight the use of High-Frequency (HF) radars on monitoring space weather. This initiative emphasises advancing these techniques in equatorial Nigeria, a region characterised by unique ionospheric phenomena like the equatorial electrojet and ionisation anomalies, which are critical for understanding space weather impacts on low-latitude regions. The near-space environment of Earth is dominated by the collision of magnetised plasma that constitutes the solar wind with Earth’s protective magnetic field. Turbulent conditions in the sun give rise to explosions of energy and matter, such as Coronal Mass Ejections…

In November 2024, three MPs from the Te Pati Maori Party fought in Parliament in a protest against the protest treaty bill.The New Zealand Government Commission recommends temporarily suspending three Indigenous lawmakers from Parliament due to the implementation of the protest HAKA last year. The Privileges Commission recommended Wednesday evening that Te Pati Maori Party co-leaders Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi should be suspended for 21 days. It was also recommended that New Zealand’s youngest MP Hana Rauhiti Maipi Clark, 22, be suspended for seven days to act “in a way that could have the effect of threatening members of…

Maddie Hall of Innovation Platform interviewed Dr Sunita Satyapal, director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Agency, discussing the possibilities of hydrogen technology to advance this field and the office’s current initiatives. As the need for energy solutions becomes more and more clear, hydrogen fuel cell technology is emerging as a promising path for energy security. These technologies have the potential to transform transportation, industrial processes and power generation. Great progress in development, production and deployment is required to fully realize their profits. The U.S. Department of Energy plays a key role in this transition,…

Pretoria says the visit is “resetting” ties with Washington after the US welcomed dozens of white Africans as refugees.South African President Cyril Ramaphosa will attempt to “reset” relations between the two countries by meeting President Donald Trump at the White House next week, Pretoria said. The reported visit comes after the US welcomed dozens of white Africans as refugees this week. “President Ramaphosa will meet with President Donald Trump at the Washington, D.C., to discuss bilateral, regional and global concerns,” the South African president said in a statement Wednesday. “The President’s visit to the US provides a platform to reset…

The Canadian Battery Metals Association details the case of Western Canada’s battery hubs, focusing on the importance of jurisdiction-wide coordinated strategies to strengthen key mineral sectors and create specialized industry clusters for economic growth and resilience. Defining your strategy is just the first step. Implementing a strategy is what makes it possible to implement it. However, such a wide range of applications requires that actions be carried out in a coordinated manner planned across industry jurisdictions and segments to maximize their impact and exploit the available opportunities. With this in mind, the Canadian Battery Metals Association (BMAC) has worked with…

Giuseppe Marra, the lead scientist at the National Physical Laboratory, shares more about new technologies that detected earthquakes in the Pacific Ocean. Using a new detection method that converts submarine fiber optic cables into sensors for earthquakes, researchers were able to successfully detect earthquakes in the Pacific Ocean. Scientists at New Zealand’s National Institute of Physics (NPL) and the Institute of Metrics (MSL) have performed ultra-sensitive optical measurements, converting the branches of the next submarine cables on the Southern Cross that connects New Zealand to Australia into an array of sensors for earthquakes and currents. Tested in the Tasman Sea,…
