Put two eyewitnesses of a crime together in an interview, and there's a good chance they'll provide relevant new information for a police investigation.

Researchers at the Institute of Visual Computing have made it possible to remove objects from live recordings of three-dimensional environments without time delay while the camera remains in motion.

The steady increase in the frequency of antibiotic resistance may not be inevitable. This is the conclusion of a study published in the journal PLOS Pathogens.

Being stuck together in vacation traffic jams is part of the collective travel experience in Switzerland.

The University of Bath is supporting a new research partnership that has received £5 million in funding to address staff shortages in same-day and urgent care.

The City of Vienna and the Medical University of Vienna today signed a letter of intent for future cooperation within the framework of the "Vienna Prevention Project" (ViPP).

Materials science and engineering students investigated whether pickleball paddles produced by 3D printing could be as good as, or better, than those produced using existing techniques.

Young footballers have significantly worse oral health and disease than others of a similar age, finds a new study of elite English football academies led by UCL researchers. The study, published in the BMJ Open Sport and Exercise Medicine , found higher levels of oral disease in both male and female players, with causal factors including poor oral hygiene (brushing/flossing), sugary sports and fizzy drink consumption, and stress (possibly due to a high-performance environment) that can cause teeth grinding and lead to decay.

Archaeologists uncover unique ensemble from antiquity during excavations on Sicily Archaeologists have made two extraordinary discoveries in the Italian town of Agrigento on Sicily's southwest coast.

While some progress has been made towards gender equality in Australian elections, women remain underrepresented among candidates in the 2025 federal election, a new report from The Australian National University (ANU) shows.

A new tool which can rapidly prototype augmented reality experiences has given researchers new insights which could allow cyclists to safely share the roads with self-driving cars.

Fewer people have been to the deepest parts of the ocean than have walked on the surface of the moon.

Quantum computers promise to outperform today's traditional computers in many areas of science, including chemistry, physics, and cryptography, but proving they will be superior has been challenging. The most well-known problem in which quantum computers are expected to have the edge, a trait physicists call "quantum advantage," involves factoring large numbers, a hard math problem that lies at the root of securing digital information.

Prof. Andrew Thompson, a leading expert in global and imperial history in the Faculty of History at Oxford University, has presented a new Framework of Analysis for Modern Slavery & Human Traf

The warm season coincides with the period of activity of the insect vector of this disease that can have serious consequences for farm animals.

Researchers to assess new model of care offered at clinic in the Faculty of Kinesiology's Sport Medicine Centre Alex McEwen will never forget the unnerving snap he heard mid-bench press as the major tendon connecting his pectoralis muscle to his right shoulder tore away from the bone completely.

To contain the spread of the invasive quagga mussel in Swiss lakes, researchers recommend swift action based on comprehensive prevention, early detection and containment.

Researchers demonstrate the UK's first long-distance ultra-secure communication over a quantum network Researchers have successfully demonstrated the UK's first long-distance ultra-secure transfer of

As many as one in 3,000 people could be carrying a faulty gene that significantly increases their risk of a punctured lung, according to new estimates from Cambridge researchers.

Writing in The Conversation, Professor Seirian Sumner (UCL Biosciences) argues that having the language to name and describe nature is a gateway to curiosity-driven innovation, creativity and discovery.

Long-term exposure to high levels of air pollution may harm the brain health of older adults in England, finds a new study led by UCL researchers. The research, published in The Journals of Gerontology: Series A , found that exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) is linked to lower scores in key cognitive abilities, particularly language skills.

An international team, including researchers from UNIGE, has revealed that the Arabian Peninsula's desert was once home to a vast lake and rivers that shaped its landscape. The Empty Quarter (Rub' al-Khali), the vast desert of the Arabian Peninsula, was not always an arid landscape.

Three researchers reflect on the significance of TU/e's quantum computers, how they work, and what's coming next in quantum computing.

Small language models are more reliable and secure than their large counterparts, primarily because they draw information from a circumscribed dataset.
