New tool provides first space weather forecast months in advance
Researchers have developed a new tool that could be the first step toward predicting space weather weeks in advance rather than hours. A space weather advance warning system developed by the National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) and Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) could help government agencies and industry reduce impacts to […]
iFAST Diagnostics delivers faster antimicrobial susceptibility testing
iFAST Diagnostics Ltd has developed a breakthrough technology that delivers antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results with speed, accuracy, and actionable clinical detail. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as one of the defining health challenges of our time. As bacteria evolve and become increasingly resistant to existing treatments, the global community faces a mounting crisis that […]
New Mexico public dashboard tracks PFAS in drinking water
New Mexico data shows 15 public water systems exceed federal PFAS standards due to expanded sampling. In response, the New Mexico Department of the Environment (NMED) has introduced a statewide online dashboard that allows residents and water professionals to view drinking water PFAS testing data across local public water systems. This tool represents a significant […]
New project to improve community care across Africa

EU’s energy-intensive industries reduce emissions, but momentum slows
Greenhouse gas emissions from Europe’s energy-intensive industries have fallen significantly over the past two decades, but the pace of progress is slowing. A new press conference from the European Environment Agency (EEA) warns that without more ambitious structural reforms and full implementation of existing EU rules, further gains may be difficult to achieve. This report […]
