It is becoming increasingly difficult to produce sufficient drinking water, and this process also releases large amounts of the harmful greenhouse gas methane.

Reconstructions of accidents at road junctions revealed in a study that an additional brake light at the front of the vehicle would have prevented up to 17 per cent of collisions.

Moving toward circular agriculture thanks to nutrient separation from manure. Due to strict environmental regulations, farmers are not allowed to spread all'of their manure on their land.

Laëtitia Renée finds that career counselling in high school does more to reduce disparities in progression to post-secondary education than one-off financial aid - and increases long-term income.

How precise can a measurement result be when all'you have is a blurred image of an object? At TU Wien, the limits of what is possible were explored using artificial intelligence.

And the results are no joke.

Wheat production is threatened by a major fungal disease: yellow rust. Researchers at the University of Zurich have found traditional wheat varieties from Asia that harbor several resistance-conferring genes.

Writing in The Conversation, Dr Rafael Chiaravalloti (UCL Anthropology) and Dr Thais Morcatty (UCL Geography) discuss their special issue of Conservation Biology, "The Evolution of People Centred Conservation in Brazil".

Groundbreaking new research into the Irish family law system has found that adult and child victim-survivors of domestic abuse are being retraumatised during guardianship, custody and access proceedings.

A daily pill can prolong the lives of people with a "stiff heart" condition called cardiac amyloidosis who have also had surgery to replace a narrowed heart valve, according to a new study led by researchers at UCL and MedUni Vienna.

Study published in New England Journal of Medicine shows that the use of immunotherapy with chemotherapy before lung cancer surgery reduces the risk of cancer returning and improves long term survival for patients. Results from a phase 3 clinical trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine , today [Wednesday, 4 June 2025] show that patients with lung cancer who received an immunotherapy drug, nivolumab, along with standard chemotherapy before surgery had improved long term survival compared to those who received chemotherapy alone, at 5 years after completing treatment.

Getting one's groove on, A.K.A. busting a move, is an age-old tradition that dates back more than 50,000 years to the time of Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon humans, who rhythmically writhed to drumming and even vocalizations.

Astronomers at UCL and the University of Warwick, as part of a global collaboration including partners in Chile, USA and Europe, have discovered the smallest known star to host a transiting giant planet, which should not exist under leading planet formation theories.

New research by a leading historian shows a surprising historical perspective on being British. In late medieval Scotland the island of Britain was sometimes seen as fundamentally Scottish.

A daily pill can prolong the lives of people with a "stiff heart" condition called cardiac amyloidosis who have also had surgery to replace a narrowed heart valve, according to a new study led by researchers at UCL and MedUni Vienna. Aortic valve narrowing (aortic stenosis), the narrowing of the valve between the heart's left pumping chamber and the main artery, is often accompanied by cardiac amyloidosis, where misfolded proteins are deposited in the heart muscle.

A new study by the Swiss Ornithological Institute shows: Climate change is not only altering the start, but also the end of the breeding season of the snow sparrow - with potentially serious consequences for the future of this alpine bird species.

CLIMATE Climate change poses a serious threat to the habitats of the bowhead whale, which may shrink by up to 75 percent by the end of the century, a new projection from the University of Copenhagen shows.

Two confirmed cases of solar retinopathy in Quebec following the eclipse highlight the importance of properly protecting your eyes, even during very brief exposure.

In 2022, Western Europe experienced the largest surge in reported diphtheria infections in 70 years. Clinical and genomic data from the outbreak point toward transmission routes along established migration pathways into Europe. Rapid interventions successfully contained the outbreak, yet strains from that period continue to cause new infections in the region.

Project will build on research that helped diagnostic labs to adopt sequencing capacity for COVID-19 and permit characterisation of future infectious threats.

Can rainbows be found in space? TU Delft student Niels Rubbrecht explored this question in his Master-s thesis and observed parallel, colour-varying stripes completely unlike the optical phenomena typically seen on Earth.

Organisations that want to successfully adapt to a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment would do well to utilise the knowledge of their own employees.

During World War II, Jewish homeowners were expropriated on a large scale by the German occupying forces.

Research Team 2 at the Ilmenau School of Green Electronics (ISGE) is working on polymers as a sustainable alternative to limited raw materials in microelectronics.

The Bavarian Danube Moss was once the largest fen in southern Germany. Since the late 18th century, the moss has been systematically drained and has since lost its natural character. A new interdisciplinary study led by the University of Leipzig now provides the first reconstruction of these profound changes over a period of 237 years and has been published in the renowned "E&G Quaternary Science Journal".

A recent study conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at MedUni Vienna and at the Breast Health Centre of the CCC Vienna at MedUni Vienna and University Hospital Vienna, shows that

Whole-class mental health sessions in schools have a small but significant effect in reducing depression and anxiety symptoms, according to new analysis led by researchers at UCL and Anna Freud. The analysis, published in the journal Frontiers in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry , combined results from 71 existing studies involving 63,041 young people aged eight to 18.

Across the cosmos, many stars can be found in pairs, gracefully circling one another. Yet one of the most dramatic pairings occurs between two orbiting black holes, formed after their massive progenitor stars exploded in supernova blasts.
