AI stops cyberattacks on 5G networks within 100 milliseconds
Scientists have demonstrated a real-time defense framework designed to protect modern mobile networks and future 6G infrastructure from evolving cyber threats. Researchers at the University of Surrey have developed an artificial intelligence-based defense system that can identify and neutralize advanced cyber-attacks targeting 5G networks in less than 100 milliseconds. The team says this approach has […]
EU strategy for rapid deployment of small and advanced modular nuclear reactors
The EU has outlined plans to deploy small modular reactors (SMRs) and advanced modular reactors (AMRs) by the early 2030s to support climate change goals, energy security and industrial growth. The European Commission has presented a new strategy aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of small and advanced modular reactors across the European Union, […]
How plasma propulsion advances NASA science and exploration
Innovation Platform Editor Georgie Purcell spoke with NASA’s John W. Dankanich to hear how the space agency is using plasma propulsion to improve missions. Plasma propulsion is an advanced form of electric space propulsion that uses electric and magnetic fields to ionize propellant into plasma (a charged gas of electrons and ions) and accelerate it […]
UK scraps charges on offshore wind, saving manufacturers millions of dollars
British manufacturers will save millions of pounds a year if the UK government removes tariffs on offshore wind energy components from April 1. Offshore wind tariffs will be removed from 33 industrial products in new measures to help the UK progress towards its mission as a clean energy superpower. The move will enable UK manufacturers […]
Sandia’s PFAS Detector Can Reduce Water Testing Time to Minutes
Rapid PFAS analysis methods could reduce costs and expand environmental testing beyond specialized facilities. A team of scientists at Sandia National Laboratories has developed a high-speed PFAS detector that can significantly reduce the time and cost required to identify so-called “forever chemicals” in water. The approach, described by researchers Ryan Davis and Nathan Bays, can […]
Orlando Approves 374 Water Waste Destruction Services License
A clean technology company focused on advanced waste treatment has won municipal approval to begin waste destruction services in Orlando after demonstrating its ability to remove hazardous contaminants from biosolids and other waste streams. 374 Water has confirmed that the City of Orlando has granted the company a license to operate at the Ironbridge Regional […]
Specialist palliative care saves thousands and improves lives across the NHS
Specialist palliative care could save up to £8,000 per person and improve quality of life, according to new research published in the journal Palliative Medicine. The study, led by researchers at King’s College London, looked at two modes of palliative care for patients at home and those in acute hospital settings. In addition to significantly […]
Six UK startups join ESA incubator to advance space technology
Six companies have joined the European Space Agency Business Incubation Center UK (ESA BIC UK) program, highlighting the growing role of space technology in addressing challenges both in orbit and on Earth. Through ESA BIC UK, these startups focused on space technology will gain access to technology facilities, research expertise and funding to help early-stage […]
Energy apps turn neighbors into local clean energy power players
Anthony King explores how the AURORA energy app powers local communities and manages energy use. An energy app developed by EU-funded researchers is helping neighboring countries reduce their carbon footprint, reap modest benefits and boost the use of clean power in their communities. A school in Madrid is now powered by solar panels on its […]
AI improves cancer detection in major UK breast screening study
A major UK evaluation has found that artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to increase breast cancer detection rates while reducing pressure on screening services. AI has the potential to significantly improve cancer detection during routine breast screening, while reducing pressure on overstretched radiology services, according to a large UK study published today in Nature […]
