Scientists find PFAS chemicals in 95% of US beer
Opening up cold things – and potential health concerns. A new study reveals that PFAS chemicals, also known as “eternal chemicals,” are present in 95% of tested beers brewed throughout the United States. Famous for its sustainability to the environment and potential health risks, these human compounds are increasingly appearing in unexpected places that contain […]
Convert plastic waste and coal into carbon neutral fuel
RockFuel produces carbon-neutral fuels from waste plastic and coal. They are profitable, clean, sustainable and ready to demonstrate national energy security. In the race to tackle climate change, many solutions do not reach carbon-neutral or “actual zero” emissions. RockFuel Innovations is a Climate Tech startup that addresses this challenge with a patented green energy technology […]
Graphene oxide material can replace PFA in food packaging
The groundbreaking material developed at Northwestern University could soon transform the US food packaging industry by $600 billion. Scientists have developed a graphene oxide-based coating that is both water-resistant and oil repairing agents, and is environmentally safe and significantly stronger. Unlike traditional materials that rely on synthetic chemicals for moisture and grease resistance, this new […]
UK slashes deficits to boost EV charge points installations
The UK government has announced drastic changes to planning regulations in a move set to surpass growth in EV charge points across the country. Homeowners, businesses and developers will find it much easier to install EV chargers without the need for planning permission. This is a decision that saves £1,100 a year. By streamlining regulations, […]
Multimode encoding may improve quantum error correction
Nord’s volume has successfully developed Bosonic Qubit technology with multimode encoding, outlines the path to a significant reduction in the number of qubits required for quantum error correction. The result is an approach to quantum error correction that provides a smaller, more powerful system that consumes some of the energy. These small systems are easier […]
How Multix transforms wireless networks into intelligent eyes and ears
A new approach is to combine communication and sensing for a smarter, faster, and safer environment to realize a new era of wireless networks. Until recently, we used wireless networks to send data. Whether it was a phone call, video or browsing your favorite social network, the job was to communicate information from one point […]
Global decline in antibacterial use in animals finds Woah’s report
A new report by the World Animal Health Organization (WOAH) reveals that antibiotic use in animals has declined globally by 5% between 2020 and 2022. This promising trend is highlighted in the 9th edition of the antibiotics intended for use in animal (AMU) reports, reflecting improved perceptions and early successes when tackling overuse of antibiotics […]
The Becky Mayer Centre’s mission to revolutionise phage therapy
Martha Clokie, Professor of Microbiology at the Becky Mayer Centre for Phage Research, explains how the Becky Mayer Centre is using revolutionary phage therapy to tackle the global crisis of AMR. Humans are increasingly suffering from bacterial infections that no longer respond to antibiotics. This crisis also affects pets and food animals, intensifying the threat […]
