Join the EUPEX workshop on ARM-based architectures at HiPEAC 2026
On January 28, the EUPEX project will hold a workshop entitled “Preparing applications and European users to efficiently exploit future ARM-based exascale machines” at HiPEAC 2026 in Krakow. EUPEX is a European project that brings together academic and industrial partners to co-design exascale-capable pilot systems based on European technologies. This pilot aims to prepare users […]
Advancing infection prevention in a post-antibiotic world
AvantGuard discusses the future of antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention in a post-antibiotic world. The current standard of care for preventing infections will have to shift in a world of reduced antibiotic efficacy. The Department of Defense’s evidence-based protocols for the treatment of wounds, codified in The Joint Trauma System Clinical Practice Guidelines, do not […]
Regulation of veterinary drugs reduces the burden on animal health
The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) will introduce a new Veterinary Medicines Packaging Monitoring System from 2 February 2026. This will change the way VMD evaluates and monitors veterinary drug packaging to ensure proper oversight while reducing regulatory burden on the veterinary health industry. By monitoring products already on the market, regulators can ensure adequate oversight […]
One-sided Josephson junction could transform quantum computing
At the heart of modern quantum computers is a deceptively simple structure: the Josephson junction. Traditionally, this device is formed by placing two superconductors on either side of an ultrathin barrier. Despite their separation, superconducting electrons can act in unison and conduct electrical current with amazing precision and no loss of energy. This synchronous behavior […]
Megestrol acetate may enhance breast cancer treatment
Common breast cancer treatments may soon become even more effective thanks to megestrol acetate, a synthetic hormone that mimics progesterone. New research from the University of Cambridge suggests that adding the drug to standard anti-estrogen therapy may not only reduce troublesome side effects such as hot flashes, but also slow tumor growth. The findings represent […]
Portable food allergy device suggests next step towards inclusive food industry
A new portable device can directly detect food allergies and gluten in the diet with laboratory-level accuracy. Announced by Allergen Alert, this feature will allow people with food allergies or celiac disease to autonomously test food wherever they are. Unlike barcode scanners or apps that try to interpret food photos, this pocket-sized minilab utilizes patented […]
Study maps optimal routes to transport EU’s renewable hydrogen
As Europe rushes to build a climate-neutral energy system, renewable hydrogen is increasingly seen as a key pillar of the continent’s decarbonization strategy. But while the focus has largely been on how quickly hydrogen can be produced, a much more complex problem is emerging. The question is: How can we transport hydrogen over long distances […]
Sharing power, energy security: Nordic lessons for Europe
Parvathy Sobha, Brida Mbuwir, and Bart Overdevest discuss how Europe can strengthen energy security by learning from the Nordic model, showing that high penetration of renewable energy, strong grid integration, and coordinated markets can deliver reliable net-zero electricity systems. Renewable energy is transforming Europe’s energy landscape, but the rapid green transition is testing the stability […]
KAIST turns macrophages into a powerful cancer-fighting force
KAIST scientists have developed a breakthrough treatment that turns the body’s own immune cells (macrophages) into targeted cancer-fighting cells directly inside tumors. This innovative approach has the potential to overcome long-standing challenges in the treatment of solid tumors, where dense tissue and immunosuppression have limited the effectiveness of traditional immunotherapies. This therapy mobilizes the immune […]
Horizon Europe program strengthens UK research excellence
A major new government-commissioned analysis has revealed that UK researchers can achieve better results, greater global influence and more lasting impact when supported by international collaboration through the Horizon Europe programme. The report, commissioned by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), examines how the UK’s participation in the EU’s flagship research programs has […]
