Global review charts lethal impact of fungal infection after lung disease
Around 32% of people who have had prior damage from lung diseases will die after five years if they also get a common fungal infection, a major global review has found. The review also finds that 15% of people with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) die in the first year following other lung diseases.
Chronic hepatitis D infection: dangerous and often undetected
A screening study carried out at MedUni Vienna has shown that the rare but dangerous infection with the hepatitis D virus remained often undetected. Seamless testing at University Hospital Vienna for the presence of a hepatitis D infection increases the diagnosis rate of this now treatable disease. The results of
Mountain shape determines risk of landslides in earthquakes
In mountainous areas, earthquakes can sometimes be amplified by the shape of the landscape. Research by the University of Twente shows that further from the epicentre, the shape of the terrain's topography increases the risk of landslides. Closer to the epicentre, it is mainly the strength of the earthquake itself.
Empathy with ’sad’ bananas compels shoppers to reduce food waste, shows research
Labelling lone bananas as 'sad singles' tugs at shoppers' heartstrings and increases sales by 58 percent.
Playing with light and symmetry
In a recent study at the University of Twente, researchers discovered a way to scatter light in a special, symmetrical way using nanotechnology. This has potential for future technologies such as anti-counterfeiting.
Chemistry textbooks need rewriting after new research
Scientists are calling for changes to chemistry textbooks after discovering a fundamental aspect of structural organic chemistry has been incorrectly described for almost 100 years.
Lab-grown brain cells help uncover new targets for Parkinson’s treatments

An affordable and effective nutritional approach to help reduce inflammation and prevent Type 2 diabetes.
Are trees exchanging carbon via a wood wide web?
Research team led by Göttingen University studies carbon movement from tree to root fungi. The idea of trees "talking" to one another through underground fungal networks - the so-called "wood wide web" - has captured the imagination of the public.
A new, more reliable and accurate indicator for measuring the visibility of scientific journals has been created
Called Real Influence Researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), Universidad de León (ULE) and São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil have developed an indicator which is more robust, clear and fair than
