Shaping the supply chain of the future
European leaders will meet in London for Sustainable Food 2026 to work on transitioning to systems that protect the environment, improve public health and strengthen supply chain resilience while maintaining profitability. The 5th Sustainable Food Event, to be held at the Business Design Center on January 28-29, 2026, will focus on four key pillars: health […]
EU unveils digital networks law to enable future-proof connectivity
The initiative aims to modernize and harmonize existing rules and create the right conditions for operators to invest in next-generation fiber and mobile networks across the European Union. At the core of the Digital Networks Act is the recognition that advanced connectivity is no longer optional. High-performance networks are the backbone of emerging technologies such […]
Possible alternatives to PTFE coated cookware
Tobias Gerfin from the European Cookware, Cutlery and Houseware Industry Federation (FEC) discusses concerns about PTFE as a coating for pots and cookware, and considers potential alternatives currently under research. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been the material of choice for coated frying pans and cookware for decades. This material meets virtually all user and regulatory requirements. […]

Electron beam technology emerges as new weapon against PFAS
Cleaning up PFAS contamination has long been a challenge for environmental engineers, but a solution may emerge from an unexpected field. Rather than relying on filters and chemical additives, researchers are turning to the destructive power of particle accelerators and electron beams. By harnessing high-energy electrons, scientists believe they can break down some of the […]
Designing nuclear energy systems with non-proliferation in mind
Accelerated nuclear power deployment requires early coordination on design choices to ensure new technologies remain unattractive for weapons development. During a period when the effects of climate change are pushing the world towards more sustainable forms of energy production, nuclear power has emerged as a suitable option in many states that had not previously planned […]
€6.5 million project begins to improve air quality across Ireland
Researchers from Trinity College Dublin are working with collaborators across the island of Ireland on a large-scale cross-border effort to improve air quality. Through a structured program of scientific research, behavioral insights, community outreach, and policy support, Peace Air addresses three major sources of air pollution: solid fuel combustion, transportation emissions, and agricultural ammonia. The […]
Targeting growing threats with overhaul of EU cybersecurity law
Europe’s digital backbone is under increasing strain as cyber-sabotage, ransomware and foreign interference become everyday realities. In response, the European Commission announced a wide-ranging review of cybersecurity law and set out a new strategy to secure technology supply chains, reduce exposure to high-risk vendors, and strengthen the EU’s collective capacity to prevent and respond to […]
New routes to life-supporting conditions in Europe’s oceans
A recent study by Washington State University geophysicists provides insight into how nutrients reach the subsurface ocean of Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons and a leading candidate for extraterrestrial life in our solar system. Scientists have long wondered how life-sustaining nutrients can get from the Earth’s surface to Europe’s oceans, where microscopic life is thought […]
