Transforming PFAS treatment capabilities
Wastewater treatment facilities in the United States have implemented PerfluorAd™ for PFAS removal. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) remain among the most problematic water contaminants in the United States. While regulatory standards continue to tighten, with national maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) recently set at 4 ppt for PFOA and PFOS, industrial and municipal treatment facilities […]
PFAS decontamination of fire suppression systems
With tightening regulatory deadlines, the transition away from legacy PFAS-based firefighting foams has become increasingly urgent. ProDecon® has established itself as a trusted technical partner in PFAS decontamination, supporting the firefighting sector in delivering best-practice transitions and assured regulatory compliance. Across Europe, end users of firefighting foam are rapidly transitioning from C8 and C6 Class […]
Next generation Nissan Leaf signals £450m growth for UK EV industry
Production of the next-generation Nissan Leaf has begun in Sunderland, making it the first new electric car to be mass-produced in the UK from 2020 onwards. Nissan is investing more than £450 million to manufacture the new Leaf at its Wearside factory, supporting more than 6,000 jobs in its supply chain. Industry Secretary Chris McDonald […]
UK to produce radiopharmaceuticals from spent uranium fuel
A major partnership announced today could transform the future of cancer treatment in the UK by turning historic nuclear material into life-saving medicines. Tens of thousands of doses of advanced radiopharmaceuticals will be produced every year using reprocessed uranium produced from spent nuclear reactor fuel, marking a significant scientific and medical milestone for the UK. […]
UKAEA’s new fusion machine aims to commercialize local power
UKAEA has announced a new fusion machine, ELSA, which uses extreme temperatures to inform engineering and design under fusion-related plant conditions. Located at the Fusion Technology Facility (FTF) in South Yorkshire, ELSA produces temperatures on the cryogenic scale of 20 to 70 Kelvin (-253.15 to -203.15 degrees Celsius). This allows the machine to simulate the […]
QuantumDiamonds unveils €152 million semiconductor testing facility
QuantumDiamonds GmbH has announced plans to invest €152 million in a new production site in Munich, making it the world’s first manufacturing facility dedicated to next-generation quantum-based semiconductor inspection systems. The move marks a major step in Europe’s efforts to strengthen its role in a global chip market increasingly defined by advanced packaging, artificial intelligence […]
PFAS zero fire extinguishing technology
Hydrogel is an innovative fire suppression technology that eliminates PFAS chemicals, providing effective fire suppression while addressing environmental and health concerns associated with traditional firefighting foams. Hydrogels are a new generation of fire extinguishing agents based on breakthrough material technology. Unlike traditional firefighting foams, hydrogels deliver high firefighting performance without the use of any fluorochemicals, […]
ESPP reaches important milestone
The CERN Council recently received recommendations on the update of the European Particle Physics Strategy at its 225th session. The aim of the European Particle Physics Strategy is to develop a common vision for the future of the field, and decisions on this basis will be considered in the coming months. “The ESG Recommendation is […]
Large-scale high-grade molybdenum project in New Brunswick
John Wightman, Managing Director of Goldfields Group of Companies, discusses the discovery of high-grade molybdenum in New Brunswick and its strategic importance for industry and critical minerals. Molybdenum is one of the world’s most versatile and strategically important industrial metals, but it often eclipses more familiar commodities such as copper, gold and lithium. Molybdenum is […]
UK farmers receive over £400m for sustainable food production
The Countryside Stewardship and Environmental Stewardship Scheme supports farmers to deliver environmental benefits while maintaining sustainable food production. The Rural Payments Agency confirmed that three-quarters of eligible farmers have already received payments since the 2025 payment window opened on December 1. The scheme increases agricultural resilience by managing land sustainably and supports promising rural businesses […]
