The project will help provide improved methods to measure ice thickness and help out local Northern communities Every year in the Canadian Arctic, seawater freezes and grows thick, creating large swaths of sea ice.

Doctors often struggle to distinguish early dementia with Lewy bodies from early Parkinson's disease.

How Enset Could Unlock Youth Entrepreneurship and Resilient Food Systems in East Africa. In the search for solutions to Africa's food security challenges, attention often turns to new technologies or imported crops.

A major survey of tens of thousands of school pupils has revealed a welcome boost in wellbeing among young people across Greater Manchester.

Australia's environment experienced above average conditions for the fifth consecutive year in 2025, but climate change continues to inflict "serious and accelerating damage" on marine ecosystems whi

Towards shorter hospital stays: researchers explore options for outpatient stem cell therapy Multiple myeloma is a cancer in which plasma cells, which normally produce antibodies, multiply uncontrollably in the bone marrow.

A tiny crystal chip which uses terahertz radiation to see clearly through a wide range of materials could find applications in healthcare, biological research, and security screening. Researchers from Scotland and Japan have developed the lightweight superconducting chip, which they say could unlock the full potential of terahertz imaging technologies and lead to the development of more poweful and portable devices.

In the architectural blueprint of our DNA, even a small repeating error can compromise the entire system. In Huntington's disease, a specific DNA sequence expands uncontrollably, triggering progressive neurodegeneration.

A fire that occurred around 3,500 years ago in the Bronze Age settlement of Cabezo Redondo, located in the municipality of Villena (Alicante, Spain), destroyed homes and workshops.

A study co-authored by Joseph Mumbanza, Laurent Licata and Claudia Toma shows that the perception of gender discrimination does not always lead to greater support for equality policies - particularly among women.

Researchers have developed a new kind of nanoelectronic device that could dramatically cut the energy consumed by artificial intelligence hardware by mimicking the human brain.

Citizens living in liberal democracies are far more likely to oppose economic liberalisation policies attached to IMF (International Monetary Fund) loans, while those in autocratic states tend to welcome them and embrace their reforms, finds new UCL research.

Like the males of many animal species, male Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies, a commonly studied lab animal, are aggressive toward one another and even fight when competing for resources such as food and females.

In Ghana, Pakistan, Rwanda, and South Africa over half of seriously injured patients fail to reach medical care within an hour of injury.

Scientists from UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital have created the first lab grown oesophagus - the food pipe - shown to safely replace a full section of the organ and restore normal function, including swallowing, in a growing animal without the need for immunosuppression. This is a major leap towards personalised regenerative treatments for children born with life threatening oesophageal conditions and could pave the way for translation to other disease areas.
