AI predicts early skin cancer risk with 73% accuracy
A study of the entire Swedish adult population, analyzing registry data on age, gender, diagnosis, and socio-economic status, found that artificial intelligence (AI) models were able to predict melanoma incidence with almost 73% accuracy. A collaboration between the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology applied an analytical AI model to a data pool […]
EuroHPC Federation Platform launched to simplify access to supercomputing in Europe
Designed as an integration gateway, the platform transforms the way researchers, businesses and public sector organizations interact with EuroHPC systems, removing long-standing barriers to entry and collaboration. As the core of the EuroHPC Federation Platform, it deploys a single access point to multiple operational EuroHPC Joint Undertaining (JU) systems. Users will be able to log […]
Scalable PFAS destruction using advanced UV technology
Water Illumination develops a modular UV platform to completely destroy PFAS under ambient conditions Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have rapidly evolved from an emerging contaminant concern to a central regulatory and public health priority. With legally binding limits established in the United States and regulatory frameworks expanding across Europe and Asia, utilities and industrial […]
Chilba celebrates Earth Day by planting trees and promoting battery recycling
As Earth Day approaches on April 22nd, Cirba Solutions is stepping up its environmental efforts with a dual focus: restoring forests and expanding access to safe battery recycling across the United States. This initiative reflects an increased emphasis on measurable environmental impact, restoring damaged ecosystems, while tackling the less visible but equally urgent challenge of […]
Renewed women’s health strategy transforms NHS care for millions
A fundamental review of England’s women’s health strategy promises to reshape the way millions of women access and experience healthcare, with a clear move towards faster diagnosis, better pain management and stronger accountability across the NHS. At the heart of the new women’s health strategy is a commitment to more effectively listening to and acting […]
How electric vehicles will change emergency response
As electric vehicle adoption increases, crews must adapt in real time to new types of incidents: fires that burn hotter, last longer, and require more water to extinguish. When a car catches fire, the reaction used to be predictable. Crews arrive, deploy hoses, extinguish the flames, and bring the incident under control within a relatively […]
Biometrics in Zero Trust Architectures: Reimagining security around identity
As cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated, cybersecurity must adopt a zero trust policy that verifies, verifies, and authenticates at every step. Biometrics can help reduce friction in this process. For years, cybersecurity has been built on the flawed premise that users can be trusted once they are inside a network. That premise has collapsed under the […]
EuroHPC JU launches €8.5 million ‘Lucy’ photonic quantum computer
Europe has taken another step in the global race for advanced computing with the unveiling of a new optical quantum computer near Paris. The system, named Lucy, reflects a broader strategy to strengthen technological sovereignty while accelerating research across science and industry. The machine was deployed under EuroHPC Joint Undertaining (EuroHPC JU), a pan-European initiative […]
Bringing the forestry and timber sector into the 21st century
The Horizon Europe project’s CoE LignoSilva uses advanced technologies such as 3D CT wood scanning to drive innovation in Europe’s forestry wood sector. The forest sector is entering a new era. Digital technologies, sustainable materials and circular bioeconomy principles are redefining the way wood is produced, processed and used across Europe. As industry increasingly looks […]
Northumbria University secures £4 million to decipher Earth’s radiation belts
Researchers at Northumbria University have been awarded £4 million to investigate one of space science’s most enduring mysteries: why Earth’s radiation belts behave so erratically. The five-year project aims to improve space weather predictions and strengthen the protection of the satellites that support modern life. Project leader Claire Watt, professor of astrophysics, explained the significance: […]
