Trinity St James's Cancer Institute (TSJCI) researchers demonstrated the power of a structured, quality-assured Barrett's Esophagus Registry to prevent and detect early esophageal cancer.
Phys.org / Microbial innovation and engineering design offer fresh solutions for plastic waste
Chemical engineering researchers at the University of Waterloo have joined forces to take on a pressing environmental problem by using synthetic biology to turn plastic waste into valuable resources. The multidisciplinary ...
Phys.org / European agricultural greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by 40% without compromising food security, says study
European farmers can reduce agricultural climate emissions by 40% while also reducing pressure on biodiversity and maintaining current levels of food production, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Communications.
Medical Xpress / New platform tests AI fairness and accuracy in diabetic eye disease screening
Researchers have developed the world's first real-world head-to-head testing platform to determine whether commercial artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are fit for NHS use to detect disease in a fair, equitable, transparent ...
Tech Xplore / Clean energy found in old coal mines
Cumberland, B.C. was built on coal mining—both literally and practically. Thousands of workers were employed and millions of tons of coal were exported over 80 years before the mines were shuttered, leaving deep holes in ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers develop model to accurately predict vessel turnaround time at ports
In the 21st century, as global trade expands and cargo volumes surge, ports face mounting pressure to operate efficiently. A key challenge lies in accurately predicting vessel turnaround time (VTT)—the period between a ...
Phys.org / Scientist captures tiny particles for clues on what sparks lightning
Using lasers as tweezers to understand cloud electrification might sound like science fiction, but at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) it is a reality. By trapping and charging micron-sized particles ...
Phys.org / Nanoflowers rejuvenate old and damaged human cells by replacing their mitochondria
Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across medicine.
Phys.org / Innovative tool offers palm owners, growers new line of defense against trunk rot, protecting iconic trees
Ever wonder why some palm varieties flourish while others suddenly bend at the trunk or topple over completely?
Phys.org / Maybe that's not liquid water on Mars after all
Ancient Mars boasted abundant water, but the cold and dry conditions of today make liquid water on the Red Planet seem far less probable. However, the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS) detected ...
