Life expectancy has increased globally - however, in employment, healthcare and communities, older people face significant challenges which can prevent them from living healthy, dignified lives.

At the international trade fair "Ideas - Inventions - Innovations" iENA 2023 in Nuremberg, scientists from TU Ilmenau did extremely well in the awards for the best inventions: they received three gold, four silver and two bronze medals.

Professor Iain Borden (UCL Bartlett School of Architecture) and Dr Patrick Quinn (UCL Institute of Archaeology) reflect on Historic Environment Scotland's proposition to add a skatepark near Edinburgh to its roster of historic sites.

A new effort to more fully understand children's experiences of living in temporary accommodation in Scotland will be co-led by a UCL researcher.

Researchers and businesses join forces across the AI landscape to collaborate on making AI more trusted, responsible, transparent and auditable.

New study reveals how ecosystem-connecting birds are exposed to extreme weather events likely to worsen with climate change.

Simon Schröder has worked out how enzymes can be used to more easily form the desired bond between two nitrogen atoms.

University of Southampton researchers are set to play a key role in developing the next generation of gravitational wave detectors, which could help astronomers probe the furthest reaches of the cosmos.

Growth mechanism in T cell lymphomas decoded A team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has decoded the factor that makes T cell lymphomas grow comparatively rapidly: A missing "emergency s

Eight stakeholders from business, science and the public sector launched the first project for wireless charging of electric vehicles in Switzerland at the end of November 2023.

Record breaking marine heatwaves will cause devastating mass coral bleaching worldwide in the next few years, according to a University of Queensland coral reef scientist.

Motivated by her late father's disability, UCalgary geographer Victoria Fast leads Mapping Our Cities for All project to measure accessibility of Canadian cities Dr. Victoria Fast, PhD, and her

In addition to the technical solutions, young scientists at TU/e, such as Clara Caiafa and Willem Klok, are investigating the socioeconomic and financial aspects of the climate transition.

The antenna can pick up very weak signals in space that are 14 billion years old. Niels Vertegaal, a doctoral candidate at TU Eindhoven, is developing an inflatable antenna to learn more about the Big Bang.

Researchers from UK universities are set to play a key role in developing the next generation of gravitational wave detectors, which could help astronomers probe the furthest reaches of the cosmos.

The University of Glasgow is a partner in a new initiative which is set to revolutionise and shape future regulatory landscapes in the field of financial services and the use of cutting-edge technologies in the sector.

The advance opens a path to next-generation devices with unique optical and electronic properties. Two-dimensional materials, which are only a few atoms thick, can exhibit some incredible properties, such as the ability to carry electric charge extremely efficiently, which could boost the performance of next-generation electronic devices.

When we last checked in with Caltech's Kerry Vahala three years ago, his lab had recently reported the development of a new optical device called a turnkey frequency microcomb that has applications in digital communications, precision time keeping, spectroscopy, and even astronomy. This device, fabricated on a silicon wafer, takes input laser light of one frequency and converts it into an evenly spaced set of many distinct frequencies that form a train of pulses whose length can be as short as 100 femtoseconds (quadrillionths of a second).

Oakwood School's Team Pink won first place in the Invention Challenge at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

EXPERT Q&A Federal approval of a breakthrough gene-editing technology that treats the pain and debilitating effects of sickle cell disease is cause for celebration among a community with few options for relief.

AI model that pairs text, images performs poorly on lower-income or non-Western images, potentially increasing inequality in digital technology representation Study: Bridging the Digital Divide: Performance Variation across Socio-Economic Factors in Vision-Language Models (DOI: 10.48550/arXiv.

MIT researchers develop a customized onboarding process that helps a human learn when a model's advice is trustworthy. Artificial intelligence models that pick out patterns in images can often do so better than human eyes - but not always. If a radiologist is using an AI model to help her determine whether a patient's X-rays show signs of pneumonia, when should she trust the model's advice and when should she ignore it? A customized onboarding process could help this radiologist answer that question, according to researchers at MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab.

STEM with Disabilities was inspired by the frustration of being a student with disabilities and the epiphany of the power that comes from community.

Last Updated: 07 Dec 2023 13:49:03 New research from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC), which investigated alpaca husbandry practices in the UK, has uncovered a variation in the management of alpacas. It demonstrates the need to establish 'gold standard' practices across the industry to support alpaca welfare.

A collaboration by Imperial College London, The University of Tokyo and Hitachi has identified top priorities to facilitate a roadmap to net zero.
