U.S. breakthrough enables real-time airborne PFAS detection
This innovation could transform the way scientists monitor toxic ‘forever chemicals’ in homes, workplaces and public spaces, introducing a faster and safer way to identify airborne contamination within seconds rather than days or weeks. This breakthrough technology focuses on a technique known as superoxide chemical ionization mass spectrometry (O2-CIMS). Unlike traditional PFAS monitoring systems that […]
Borealis launched to protect British satellites from orbital threats
The UK has launched a new space surveillance and defense platform designed to improve the protection of UK satellites and the services they support. The software, called Borealis, went live six months ahead of schedule and is currently being used by the National Space Operations Center to track potential threats in orbit. The system is […]
EuroTPC project strengthens Europe’s role in scientific AI
The new EuroTPC project has been officially launched with the support of the EuroHPC joint venture. It aims to strengthen Europe’s influence within the global Trillion Parameter Consortium (TPC), an international initiative focused on promoting open AI for science. The three-year program will start on May 1, 2026 and will bring together Europe’s leading supercomputing […]

The pros and cons of pilot testing for PFAS removal
Sentinel Water Solutions considers the advantages and disadvantages of pilot testing for PFAS removal in water treatment. Ask most vendors about pilot testing for PFAS removal, and they will point you toward a standard rental skid. The columns have a fixed height. The sample taps are where they have always been. The underdrain is what […]
Shaping the future of automated mobility in the UK
Dr Hadi Moztarzadeh, Head of Technology Trends at the UK Advanced Propulsion Center (APC), talks about the need for cross-sector integration in technology, infrastructure and policy in the UK to achieve net zero emissions by 2040 and power connected and automated mobility. The UK’s mobility system is at a critical stage of transformation, having invested […]
Expanding green hydrogen across sectors
Operational pilots are already in place across production, maritime and transportation. NORHYWAY will now extend these into a fully integrated hydrogen value chain, connecting the Arctic and Europe with renewable energy at its core. The total planned investment is approximately 963 million euros. Four sectors were developed in parallel across interconnected use cases: shipping, road […]
Complete solution for automotive plastics
The Global Impact Coalition outlines the steps needed to help the chemical industry solve the auto plastics problem. More than 800,000 tonnes of plastic from end-of-life (ELV) vehicles is incinerated or landfilled in Europe each year. The automotive industry accounts for approximately 10% of global plastic demand. However, despite decades of sustainability efforts, less than […]
Circular economy activities could reduce EU climate change impact by 22%
Three new assessments on circularity published by the European Environment Agency (EEA) have found that accelerating investment to ensure policy goals are met would have significant benefits for both the economy and the environment. The assessment analyzed and modeled 17 circular economy activities across sectors such as housing, mining, food and mobility, identifying not only […]
