A breakthrough in PFAS removal
BioLargo has developed a next-generation solution that brings cost savings, energy efficiency, and undetected PFAS removal to modern water systems. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also known as “forever chemicals,” represent one of the most pressing environmental protection and regulatory compliance challenges. These synthetic compounds are widely used in industrial processes and consumer products, from […]
UK Cybersecurity Action Plan to protect digital public services
The UK Government has announced a major new initiative to strengthen the UK’s cyber security, committing more than £210 million to protecting public services as they move increasingly online. The Government’s Cyber Action Plan, published today, sets out how ministers will protect critical systems from growing cyber threats, while ensuring people can use digital services […]
Plug-in truck grant cuts electric truck prices by up to £120,000
The UK Government is making electric trucks more affordable to help carriers switch, while encouraging growth and investment in electric trucks. An extra £18 million to increase the plug-in truck grant until March 2026 means hauliers and fleet operators can save up to £120,000 on new electric trucks. The move is part of a £318m […]

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 […]
