Anritsu and VTT push the boundaries of D-band wireless communications
Significant advances in D-band wireless communications were achieved through joint Anritsu and VTT demonstrations, highlighting the real-world feasibility of very high frequency wireless links. This project will validate that D-band technology can provide stable, high-capacity performance suitable for future backhaul, industrial connectivity, defense systems, and emerging 6G networks. Jonathan Boril, CTO of Anritsu’s Test and […]
£50m investment to establish ground-breaking clinical trial center
The new initiative aims to accelerate clinical trials of new drugs to improve patient care. The creation of the brand-new center aims to revolutionize the approach to clinical trial design and conduct by developing pioneering methods that speed up the process and promote improved treatment and recovery. The Medical Research Council (MRC) Clinical Trials Innovation […]
The scale of Australia’s PFAS chemicals in drinking water challenge
Anthony Amis, Land Use Researcher from Friends of the Earth Australia, summarises the current state of the PFAS challenge in Australia, examining cases of PFAS occurrence across Australia and measures to combat it. As a Land Use Researcher, I have been researching water quality issues in Australia for many years. This work started with pesticides […]
Researchers discover new way to boost immune response to cancer
Researchers at the University of Southampton have developed a promising new way to boost the body’s immune system’s response to cancer. They used a specially designed multifaceted antibody to make the immune response more active against cancer-killing T cells. Antibodies work by “capturing” and “clustering” multiple immune cell receptors, thereby boosting the signal that tells […]
Evidence suggests that dark matter and neutrinos interact
Scientists may be closing in on one of cosmology’s most enduring mysteries. University of Sheffield experts investigating the deepest workings of the universe have discovered new evidence suggesting that two of the universe’s most mysterious components, dark matter and neutrinos, may not be as isolated as once thought. The discovery could reshape our understanding of […]
MAST Upgrade begins new fusion energy experiment in UK
The UK Atomic Energy Agency (UKAEA) has launched a major new phase in fusion research as its flagship MegaAmp Spherical Tokamak (MAST Upgrade) enters its fifth scientific campaign. This six-month program marks a significant step towards the delivery of the UK’s first fusion power plant prototype and strengthens the UK’s position at the forefront of […]
Rings around M dwarf provide new clues about planetary habitability
A study at the Carnegie Institution for Science considers the use of naturally occurring space weather observatories orbiting the early orbits of at least 10% of M dwarfs. We know that most M dwarf stars (smaller, cooler, and fainter than the Sun) host at least one rocky Earth-sized planet. Most of them are inhospitable, too […]
Norit’s global activated carbon solutions for a safer future
Norit discusses the current PFAS regulatory landscape, the scientific factors influencing PFAS adsorption on activated carbon, and how the company is demonstrating PFAS destruction at scale in its reactivation plant. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have emerged as one of the most pressing challenges to water quality in our time. These synthetic chemicals are extraordinarily […]
Separate and concentrate the most difficult industrial flows
Helios Innovations’ technology has been demonstrated to separate and concentrate PFAS from highly contaminated industrial waste streams containing more than 20 million ng/L of AFFF. PFAS contamination is widely discussed today, especially in the context of drinking water, groundwater protection, wastewater treatment, and human exposure. However, the streams that receive the most public attention are […]
SAFELOOP pioneers safer, higher-performance Li-ion EV batteries
The SAFELOOP project is working to develop safe, sustainable, high-performance lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries for the European EV industry. SAFELOOP (Safely Promoting Future EVs with Lithium-Ion Batteries Through Optimized Pathways) is a 36-month project launched in June 2024, bringing together 15 partners from 11 countries. SAFELOOP is funded by Horizon Europe, the European Union’s flagship research […]
