The historic UN treaty tells us a new era for marine protection
The important UN treaties mark a breakthrough in marine conservation, protecting biodiversity in the high seas and ensuring sustainable use for future generations. The major milestone for marine conservation is in effect as a landmark agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) on the Sustainable Use of Marine Biodiversity […]
Make primary care more accessible
Dr. Marta Zanchi, founder and managing partner of Nina Capital’s Global Healthech VC, explains how nurses are empowered to complete treatment via telehealth oversight, making primary care more accessible to the aging European population. A consistently higher life expectancy and lower fertility rate means that the European population is aging rapidly. More than five-fifths of […]
Pressure on European supply chains has sparked collaboration
Nicholas Matsuzei, European Vice President of Sustainability, explores how the European supply chain sector is working together to address current constraints and crowds. With European supply chains running hot for years, it’s no surprise that some people would consider glass half empty. Energy instability and climate change have been tested to the limits of all […]
UK MedTech startups are calling for reforms to promote innovation
The Center for Process Innovation (CPI) has released a series of reports revealing the deep-rooted barriers that are thwarting startups and spin-outs in the UK. Based on insights from 240 small and medium-sized businesses (Small and Medium Enterprises), 100 investors and 10 university technology transfer offices, this finding provides the most comprehensive analysis of the […]

Turn the wall into an antibacterial defenseman
Spectrum Blue explains how its innovative Q-field photocatalytic coating converts walls into active antibacterial barriers and protects your home from mold and microorganisms. What happens if the wall can protect itself? New materials and coatings are beginning to make it possible: Hydrophobic paints repel water and make mold difficult to retain. Mineral-based plasters naturally regulate […]

ORNL Supercomputing Project for Unlocking Quantum Materials
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has launched a four-year research program that allows scientists to revolutionize the way they understand and design quantum materials. Known as a controlled number for emergency transients in non-equilibrium quantum matter (CONNEQT), the initiative brings together experts from ORNL, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley […]
Alien life may be older and farther than we imagined
For decades, humanity has been staring at the stars. However, new research suggests that the truth may be more calm than the dreams of science fiction. If intelligent beings exist elsewhere in the Milky Way, they can be unimaginably rare, unimaginably old, and unimaginably far apart. New research presented at the EPSC-DPS 2025 joint conference […]
