McGill’s multidisciplinary approach to antimicrobial resistance
McGill University’s Center for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) integrates diagnostic, surveillance and prevention, and treatment research to provide real-world solutions to AMR. Antibiotic resistance occurs when microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites become unresponsive to drugs designed to eliminate them, leading to infections that are increasingly difficult to prevent and treat. According to the World […]

Bioforcetech makes significant progress in PFAS removal
Bioforcetech, a leading Bay Area-based environmental technology company, has reached a significant milestone in PFAS removal. Independent testing has confirmed that its advanced Sigma pyrolysis system removes 99.98% of PFAS compounds from all waste streams, including biosolids, wastewater, and exhaust gases. This result represents the most comprehensive validation of system performance to date. Extensive testing […]
£45m initiative in UK to slow antibiotic resistance
As the threat of antibiotic resistance increases around the world, GSK and the Fleming Initiative have announced six research programs aimed at halting the rise in drug-resistant infections. Combining advanced AI, cutting-edge laboratory science, and international collaboration, these “grand challenges” aim to develop new treatments, improve prescribing practices, and strengthen global strategies against antimicrobial resistance […]
LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA detects hundreds of new gravitational waves
The international LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration has completed its fourth and longest observational campaign, O4, marking a major milestone in gravitational wave research. The two-year effort, from May 2023 to the end of 2025, brought together the world’s best gravitational wave detectors to continuously search for ripples in space and time, dramatically expanding the catalog of cosmic […]
Global shipping leaders unite to fight ocean plastic pollution
A new partnership between major shipping companies launches a concerted effort to curb ocean plastic pollution, marking one of the maritime sector’s most ambitious environmental collaborations to date. Founded by ocean impact organization Seven Clean Seas (SCS), the Maritime Association for Clean Seas (MACS) brings together leading carriers and maritime service providers with a shared […]
Swiss ski resorts forever contaminated with chemicals from ski wax
The pursuit of speed on snow has left a detrimental mark. Despite increased global awareness and racing bans, persistent “permanent chemicals” known as PFAS are still scraped off skis and found their way into the natural environment of Switzerland’s winter sports regions. Empa’s new study detects high concentrations of these long-lasting pollutants in snow samples […]
