Quantum-mechanical systems far from equilibrium
DFG funds new research unit in physics at the University of Göttingen The German Research Foundation (DFG) will fund a new Research Unit studying the non-equilibrium physics of quantum -many-body- systems at the University of Göttingen. The title of this ambitious programme is -Quantum thermalization, localization, and constrained dynamics with interacting ultracold- .

A major feature of the ’Manc’ accent is disappearing - but not in North Manchester
New research by an expert at The University of Manchester has found that a major aspect of the traditional 'Manc' accent is still going strong in northern parts of the city, but is disappearing from people's speech elsewhere.

Designing better buildings to stop water damage
Associate Professor Arianna Brambilla from the School of Architecture, Design and Planning will work with the Victorian Building Authority to establish best practice guidelines around the construction of moisture-resilient buildings. A new research project, led by Associate Professor Arianna Brambilla from the Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning , will investigate how better building design and construction can tackle the issue of problem mould and water damage in buildings.

Finding new ways to diagnose childhood brain tumours
Cambridge researchers are using new techniques to distinguish different types of medulloblastoma, a type of brain tumour in children. With one in four children with this tumour type suffering long-term memory loss and speech issues after surgery, it is important that we work towards improving diagnostic methods which avoid surgery Jessica Taylor Funded by The Brain Tumour Charity, this research aims to develop new ways to diagnose medulloblastoma using minimally invasive methods, protecting the quality of life of children with this diagnosis.

Six Waterloo researchers lend their expertise to the UN IPCC climate report
New report defines our understanding of the climate crisis and shapes our sustainable future Waterloo Climate Institute and Faculty of Environment After a six-year process, the leading world body for the assessment of climate change, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has released their final Synthesis Report that summarizes what we know about climate change and how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate Fiction: can novels help us reckon with climate change?
Dr Meg Brayshaw, John Rowe Lecturer in Australian Literature, reviews J.R. Burgmann's debut novel Children of Tomorrow and explores whether literary fiction known as "cli-fi" can make us feel for lives unlike our own.

Earlier disclosure of COVID-19 origins could have saved us three years of political quarrelling
The evidence could have shifted energy from the pandemic's origins to research Professor Dominic Dwyer from the Faculty of Medicine and Health discusses the delayed release of the data on COVID-19's origins, which sights the possibility of raccoon dogs at the Wuhan markets. Once more, we're talking about the origins of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

World Tuberculosis Day: How EPIC researchers at University of Toronto are making an impact
Tuberculosis (TB) is preventable and curable, yet it remains one of the world's most deadly infectious threats and a significant global health challenge. About 95 per cent of cases occur in lowand middle-income countries but the disease still poses a significant public health concern in Canada, where it disproportionately affects Indigenous communities and people born outside the country.

A novel combination therapy for treating vancomycin-resistant bacterial infections
Developed at SMART, the therapy stimulates the host immune system to more effectively clear bacterial infections and accelerate infected wound healing. Close Previous image Researchers have developed a novel combination therapy using the anticancer agent mitoxantrone (MTX), together with an antibiotic, vancomycin, for treating bacteria that are resistant to the vancomycin, which are also known as vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis or VRE.
