Turn the wall into an antibacterial defenseman
Spectrum Blue explains how its innovative Q-field photocatalytic coating converts walls into active antibacterial barriers and protects your home from mold and microorganisms. What happens if the wall can protect itself? New materials and coatings are beginning to make it possible: Hydrophobic paints repel water and make mold difficult to retain. Mineral-based plasters naturally regulate […]
Clean Harbors is a safe proof of commercial PFA incineration operations
Clean Harbors, Inc. published the results of a recent study confirming that incineration of PFA in commercially available high-temperature facilities can effectively and safely eliminate multiple forms of toxic “eternal chemicals.” The study, conducted in collaboration with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Defense (DOD), demonstrates that its incineration process meets […]
ORNL Supercomputing Project for Unlocking Quantum Materials
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has launched a four-year research program that allows scientists to revolutionize the way they understand and design quantum materials. Known as a controlled number for emergency transients in non-equilibrium quantum matter (CONNEQT), the initiative brings together experts from ORNL, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley […]
Alien life may be older and farther than we imagined
For decades, humanity has been staring at the stars. However, new research suggests that the truth may be more calm than the dreams of science fiction. If intelligent beings exist elsewhere in the Milky Way, they can be unimaginably rare, unimaginably old, and unimaginably far apart. New research presented at the EPSC-DPS 2025 joint conference […]
AMR-Educare initiative destroys AMR training targets across the EU
The groundbreaking initiative to combat antibiotic resistance (AMR) has trained more than 5,800 healthcare professionals across Europe, surpassing expectations. The EU-funded AMR-EDUCARE programme originally aimed to reach 4,150 participants, but it exceeded its target and equipped doctors, nurses, pharmacists and health care administrators with key tools to control the spread of AMR in clinical practice. […]
Research reveals surprising levels of microclastic contamination in the air
Microplastic pollution, once considered primarily to be a marine problem, is now identified as a global air quality problem. A groundbreaking international survey led by the Eurofins Environmental Test Microplastics Peer Group reveals a wide range of air pollution, with urban areas recording up to 1,300 microplastic particles per square meter per day. These small […]
Supporting innovation in hydrogen production
Highly specialised facilities and providers of technical and non-technical business support services provide a comprehensive portfolio of resources for hydrogen start-ups and companies. The European Union’s (EU) strategic vision for a climate-neutral economy by 2050, as outlined in the Communication ‘A hydrogen strategy for a climate-neutral Europe’ (COM/2020/301), places clean hydrogen production at the core […]
CERN and F4E work together to advance fusion energy development
CERN of Energy Fusion (F4E), a European nuclear research institute and EU agency that manages its contribution to Europe’s ITER, has signed the Landmark Framework Collaboration Agreement. The alliance aims to accelerate advances in frontier technology, including the long-term pursuit of high-temperature superconducting magnets and fusion energy. The agreement strengthened the partnership that began in […]
NYUAD AI Breakthrough offers new hope for solar wind prediction
Scientists at Nyu Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can change the way in which powerful explosions of the sun are predicted. By analyzing high-resolution images of the sun, the system predicts that sunlight is at speed up to four days in advance. This is much more accurate than the […]
The UK secures £300 billion in US investment in the Northeast AI growth zone
The AI Growth Zone, developed through a technology partnership with the US, will be anchored in Blythe and Cobalt Park near Newcastle, with the northeast positioned as one of Europe’s largest data center hubs. With forecast investments from major US innovators and forecast investments from over 5,000 highly skilled jobs, the initiative is expected to […]
