Combat antimicrobial resistance with McGill rapid tests
Breakthroughs in bacterial detection enable faster and more effective treatment. In a breakthrough development, scientists at McGill University have developed a diagnostic system that can identify bacteria and determine which antibiotics are effective against them in just 36 minutes. This innovation represents an important step forward in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a […]
How printed electronics from Tampere Uni is building a sustainable future
Electronics are everywhere, from medicine and agriculture to packaging and logistics, but the way they are manufactured has long carried high environmental costs. At the University of Tampere, Professor Matti Mäntysalo and his research group are challenging the status quo by advancing printed electronics and low-energy manufacturing methods that have the potential to fundamentally reshape […]
Puragen unveils PFAS treatment technology during UK ministerial visit
Plagen has strengthened its position at the forefront of environmental technology after welcoming UK Water and Floods Secretary Emma Hardy to its Immingham facility. The visit coincided with a key policy moment, with the UK government formally announcing a national strategy to tackle PFAS contamination across the environment. The timing underlines the shared focus of […]
Rendezvous and close-in operations in crowded Earth orbit
In recent years, several satellites have made unexplained and disorderly approaches to commercial and military space objects. If a satellite is traveling close to another satellite in orbit around the Earth, how close does it have to be to be “too close”? In December 2025, a satellite launched from China’s Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center came […]
DiDAX: Innovating DNA-based data applications
The DiDAX consortium is enabling a vision of DNA as a versatile medium for secure and long-term data applications. DiDAX is a consortium of eight research groups, coming from both academia and industry and working together, under EU EIC funding, to innovate DNA-based data applications. Our work is based on novel encoding and decoding algorithms, […]
Why measuring methane production is important
Recent research highlights the benefits of C-Lock’s GreenFeed system for measuring methane production in dairy farms, highlighting that mass flux measurements provide more reliable data for research and decision-making than traditional concentration-based sensors. As the livestock industry moves toward more accurate methane measurements, one distinction is becoming increasingly important: the difference between measuring methane concentration […]
