Checking out the Boundaries: Milestone in Lipidomics Achieved
Ring trial enables establishment of ceramide reference values. Results of the first phase of a Ceramide Ring Trial have just been published in the renowned journal Nature Communications , representing a significant landmark in the field of lipidomics. This achievement, involving researchers at the University of Vienna and scientific teams in Singapore, Julich and Espoo, represents a groundbreaking advance in the establishment of ceramide reference values, plasma lipids involved in such as cardiovascular diseases.
Mitigating the consequences of heavy rainfall with Blue-Green Infrastructure
During heavy rainfall, sewage systems are frequently overloaded, leading to untreated wastewater being discharged into surface waters. Modelling techniques used by researchers now show that the volume of such combined sewer overflows could more than triple as a result of climate change However, these studies also reveal that this increase could be avoided through the use of Blue-Green Infrastructure, such as infiltration basins, retention ponds, and porous pavements.
A stiff material that stops vibrations and noise
Materials researchers have created a new composite material that combines two incompatible properties: stiff yet with a high damping capacity.
New 3D printing technique creates unique objects quickly and with less waste
By using a 3D printer like an iron, researchers can precisely control the color, shade, and texture of fabricated objects, using only one material.
International students thrive after graduating Waterloo
A new study by University of Waterloo researchers found that international students who study in Canada don't see their skills underutilized once they join the Canadian labour market, a sign that signals the potential of the country's International Student Strategy to help boost economic growth.
Plants Save Energy when Absorbing Potassium
Plants can extract even the smallest traces of the important nutrient potassium from the soil. A team led by Würzburg biophysicist Rainer Hedrich describes how they achieve this in 'Nature Communications'.
Coffee during pregnancy safe for baby’s brain development
A University of Queensland-led study has failed to find any strong links between drinking coffee during pregnancy and neurodevelopmental difficulties in children, but researchers are advising expectant mothers to continue following medical guidelines of caffeine consumption.
How personal care products affect indoor air quality
An EPFL study has revealed the impact of five common personal care products when they're used in enclosed spaces. Surprisingly, when they come into contact with ozone, the products spark chemical reactions generating new air pollutants.
Innovative Breakthrough in Sustainable Agriculture
Researchers from the University of Twente (Netherlands) and Bayreuth Develop Microplastic-Free Encapsulation for Crop Protection Agents. They recently published their findings in the scientific journal Advanced Materials
Light Pollution Disturbs Moths Even in the Dark
Light pollution is more serious than expected: Moths not only lose their orientation directly under street lamps. Their flight behaviour is also disturbed outside the cone of light.
AI-trained CCTV in rivers can spot blockages and reduce floods
Machine learning-equipped camera systems can be an effective and low-cost flood defence tool, researchers show.
