The rise of the space sector in the North East of England
Historically much of the UK’s space industry has been concentrated in London, the South East and a few other established hubs, but the North East is gradually developing a distinct identity in satellite technology, space applications, advanced manufacturing and research. Recent public data and industry sector reports highlight this shift. According to one regional analysis, […]
Proven, scalable innovation redefining PFAS remediation
Australia’s EVOCRA offers patented OzoFractionation® technology with proven remediation to produce low volume PFAS concentrates that are ready for destruction. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are among the world’s most challenging environmental contaminants, driving global demand for robust, sustainable, and economically viable solutions. Australia’s EVOCRA is leading the way in PFAS removal and destruction through […]
Stop taking probiotics until you understand your gut microbiome
Qures explains why generic probiotics don’t work and how a personalized stool test and meal plan can restore your gut’s natural balance. Interest in the gut microbiome has skyrocketed over the past decade. Ever since Hippocrates famously claimed that “all disease begins in the gut,” we’ve been fascinated by the idea of improving gut performance. […]
Animal health as a driver of sustainability in European food systems
AnimalhealthEurope reflects the findings of recent reports on animal health and sustainability, investigating the impact of investments in animal health for a greener planet and safer food systems. Livestock farming is often a central issue in discussions on climate change in Brussels and on sustainability on the global stage. However, it is often overlooked how […]
How ECT is heating up PFAS remediation
ECT’s rapid electrothermal mineralization technology could provide one of the first scalable solutions for complete PFAS destruction. Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), widely known as the “forever chemicals,” have long been a challenge to industry, regulators, and communities. Because the carbon and fluorine bonds are so stable, PFAS persist in soil and water, […]
Fermilab and Proficio water treatment systems fight PFAS
Major advances in the fight against persistent water pollution are underway in Illinois. There, national laboratories and local engineering firms are collaborating to develop next-generation water treatment systems that remove harmful PFAS chemicals. The partnership combines the research power of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory with the manufacturing and engineering expertise of Lisle-based Proficio Consultants to […]
Rise of promising One Health molecules
Qures Group CEO Richard Stead talks about the century-long history of hypothiocyanite and lactoperoxidase systems and their modern-day potential in the fight against AMR. In late 2012, I began an intentional effort to understand how nature protects the most vulnerable entry point of the body. I was looking for a natural antibacterial molecule that I […]
IonQ activates Slovakia’s first quantum communications network
Slovakia has taken a major step towards Europe’s quantum future with the launch of the first quantum communications network. This is a national system aimed at strengthening cybersecurity and integrating the country into broader European quantum efforts. The implementation, led by ID Quantique (IDQ), a subsidiary of IonQ, in partnership with the Institute of Physics […]
Reframing space debris as a resource
Stela Tkatchova, Programme Manager for Space Systems at the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA), explains how we can not only remove space debris but also consider space debris as a resource and learn to utilise it to create a greener and more sustainable space environment. The European Innovation Council (EIC) funds high-risk and […]
