Five research projects by researchers from Radboud University have received a grant in the new round of the Open Competition Domain Science-M programme.

McGill researchers have developed an AI-powered method to verify the origin of honey, ensuring that what's on the label matches what's in the jar.

A waste gum produced by trees found in India could be the key to unlocking a new generation of better-performing, more eco-friendly supercapacitors, researchers say. Scientists from universities in Scotland, South Korea and India are behind the development, which harnesses the unique properties of the otherwise useless tree gum to prevent supercapacitors from degrading over tens of thousands of charging cycles.

From social media to AI, online technologies are changing too fast for the scientific infrastructure used to gauge its public health harms, say two leaders in the field.

Physiologists at Jena University Hospital have used single-channel measurements to investigate the conductivity of pacemaker ion channels, which control the rhythmic activity of nerve or heart muscle cells.

Lithium can be harvested efficiently from brines thanks to an innovative membrane developed at Imperial.

A power grid that is becoming ever more overloaded, melting glaciers threatening our freshwater supply, and an increasing demand for resources like lithium, uranium, and cobalt.

Millions of different organic compounds are found in the soil and in bodies of water. New methods are making it possible to analyse these molecules more accurately than ever before - and to decipher their role in the functioning of ecosystems and species communities. In a scientific journal, a research team from Eawag and University of Zurich therefore calls for a new "ecology of molecules".

An international research project, led by The University of Warwick and University of Lille, has used nanotube compression to transform the underlying chemistry and physics of a compound, creating a promising new one-dimensional material.

Scientists have developed a hydrogen sensor that could accelerate the transition to clean hydrogen energy.

Upcycling as a climate game-changer: A nanocatalyst has been produced at TU Wien based on spent batteries and aluminium foil residues, converting CO2 into valuable methane.

People all'over the world largely agree on what the colour blue looks like or what the shape of a ball feels like.

PhD candidate Mike Pols studied perovskites, a promising material for use in solar cells. Its unique crystal structure and special properties make perovskite a promising candidate for the solar cell of the future.

By combining organic and inorganic chemistry, scientists at TU Wien developed the innovative lubricant COK-47 - with remarkable capabilities.

Researchers have developed a reactor that pulls carbon dioxide directly from the air and converts it into sustainable fuel, using sunlight as the power source.

A new way of creating hydrogen, which eliminates direct CO2 emissions at source, has been developed by an international team of scientists.

A new atmospheric monitoring station has been established at The University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Observatory to improve the accuracy of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions estimates.

A new form of energy-efficient artificial vision system inspired by the human brain and made in part using honey could help reduce the impact of electronic waste.
