Transforming treatment for pulmonary hypertension
Professor Soni Savai Pullamsetti from the Restoring Roots project emphasises the importance of addressing pulmonary hypertension and describes how the project will help achieve this. Pulmonary hypertension is an increasingly recognised, serious condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide, posing challenges not only to patients but also to healthcare systems. Advancing our understanding of its […]
Rethinking methane emissions in the global food system
Methane emissions from livestock are an important part of the climate change puzzle. Livestock contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions, raising urgent questions about the sustainability of the food system. Responses range from farm innovation to dietary habit changes, but their effects vary widely across regions. To address this complexity, you need to understand […]
Can antibacterial coatings redefine hygiene?
Antibacterial coatings provide a promising evolution in hygiene practices that move beyond traditional cleaning methods. By adopting advanced agents, these coatings aim to provide continuous protection against harmful pathogens. These applications span critical environments and raise questions about their effectiveness and potential risks. As society tackles the implications of these innovations, it becomes essential to […]
The future of green fuel
The transition to sustainable transportation expands beyond batteries. Innovations in hydrogen fuel cells, sustainable aviation fuels and biofuels are gaining traction. These green fuels promise reduced emissions and increased efficiency in various sectors. However, research, infrastructure and collaboration remain major challenges. As the world shifts to a more environmentally friendly energy landscape, the potential impact […]
The increasing urgency of PFAS destruction
The PFASER electrooxidation process, which includes a patented boron-doped diamond electrode, is set up to provide groundbreaking on-site processing of PFA with zero sludge, combined with a proprietary chlorate removal process. The intrinsic chemistry of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) makes them highly resistant to conventional treatments. As a result, these toxic molecules are ubiquitous […]
Tohoku Plasma Propulsion Breakthrough is working on the fragments of the universe
Researchers at Tohoku University have revolutionized the removal of space debris and developed a plasma propulsion system that could potentially make Earth’s orbit safer. Earth’s orbit is becoming more and more crowded. Thousands of abolished satellites, discarded rocket stages, and fragments from past collisions orbited the planet at a faster speed than bullets. This expanding […]
Convert plastic waste into efficient CO2 capture materials
Chemists at the University of Copenhagen have developed a method to convert plastic waste into climate solutions for efficient and sustainable CO2 capture. This effective solution addresses two of the world’s biggest challenges. Plastic pollution and the climate crisis. As CO2 levels in the atmosphere continue to rise, despite years of political efforts to limit […]
The Hubble Telescope reveals interesting spiral galaxy properties
It may appear as another spiral galaxy among the billions of people in the universe, but a new image of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope revealed that there is much to study in this galaxy. The spiral galaxy known as NGC 7456 is located 51 million light years away from the constellation Gurus (crane). Based […]
PFAS treatments may change the safety of drinking water in the US
New peer-reviewed studies have revealed that advanced PFAS treatment systems do more than remove “eternal chemicals” from drinking water. Researchers at the Environmental Working Group (EWG) have found that these technologies also reduce levels of other dangerous pollutants and offer broader public health benefits than previously understood. For each PFAS-fluoroalkyl – it is well known […]
Jupiter’s supercomputer drives Europe in the Exascale era
Europe officially entered the global league’s high-performance computing with the inauguration of Jupiter Supercomputer in Forschungsentrum Jülich, Germany. Started by EU Commissioner Zaharieva and German Prime Minister Friedrich Merz, Jupiter is the first European system to cross the Exuscar threshold, which allows operations to exceed one kintyrion (10ε) per second. This milestone amounts to the […]
