On 29 October 2024, an episode of torrential rains shook the Valencian Community, leaving behind a trail of devastation and numerous flooded municipalities.

Researchers have found 70 per cent of Australians diagnosed with major depressive disorder are not receiving even the minimal treatment necessary.

Organic semiconductors represent a transformative technology that bridges traditional electronics with the versatility of organic materials. They make flexible, wearable devices and next-generation displays possible. Crystallizable organic semiconductors (COS) represent a subset of organic electronic materials that have garnered substantial attention in recent years due to their unique properties and potential applications.

Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool with sweeping implications for the U.S. workforce, but it's up to society to guide how it is used.

Caltech researchers from campus and JPL have collaborated to devise a method for coating lithium-ion battery cathodes with graphene, extending the life and performance of these widely used rechargeable batteries. These efforts have led to a promising discovery that may improve lithium-ion battery performance and reduce reliance on cobalt, an element frequently used in lithium-ion batteries that is difficult to source sustainably.

The satellite imagery was frightening: a powerful low-pressure system swirling approximately 300 miles off the coast of Washington.

In a new study, Yale researchers show that seeing tasks as a chance for children to learn reduces overparenting by about 50%. Parents are much less likely to intervene when their young children are getting dressed or performing other simple chores if those tasks are framed as learning opportunities, according to a new study by Yale researchers.

The technique could make AI systems better at complex tasks that involve variability. Fields ranging from robotics to medicine to political science are attempting to train AI systems to make meaningful decisions of all kinds.

Clearing the dinner table is a task easy enough for a child to master, but it's a major challenge for robots. Robots are great at doing repetitive tasks but struggle when they must do something new or interact with the disorder and mess of the real world. Such tasks become especially challenging when they have many steps.

Since 2020, Delft Bioengineering Institute (BEI) organizes a cross-campus call for interdisciplinary research projects in the field of bioengineering.

The dream of owning a home is still very popular among the Swiss population. However, realizing this dream is challenging and almost only possible via mortgages.

Private school pupils in England no longer perform better at GCSE level than state school pupils in the core subjects of English, Maths and Science when the results are adjusted for socioeconomic background, finds a study by UCL researchers.

Population studies show adults over 80 are the world's fastest growing demographic and in Canada, they are quickly outpacing other age groups.

Scientists from our top-rated Physics department and Newcastle University have developed a groundbreaking method to improve the stability and efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), a technology used in smartphones, TVs, and other electronic displays. This advancement utilises a unique type of molecule that has the potential to extend the lifespan of OLED devices significantly.

The world's thinnest spaghetti, about 200 times thinner than a human hair, has been created by a UCL-led research team.
