Writing in The Conversation, Professor Jamie Brown and Professor Lion Shahab (UCL Behavioural Science and Health) offer strategies to help vapers quit the quit-aid.

Chimpanzees have been observed copying quirky social behaviours from one another - wearing grass in their ears and bottoms - despite these actions offering no apparent practical benefit.

VUB researcher teaches systems that determine the location of people or objects within buildings to work together Maxim Van de Wynckel aims to make indoor positioning technology as universal as GPS,

Shoulder instabilities are difficult to diagnose as they usually only occur when the shoulder joint is in motion.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can be made more sustainable by making practical changes, such as reducing the number of decimal places used in AI models, shortening responses, and using smaller AI models, according to research from UCL published in a new UNESCO report.

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether in a physics class, in the lab, or in popular science writing, is left thinking something like, "Now, that is really weird." For some, this translates to weird and wonderful.

When white dwarfs-the hot remnants of stars like our Sun-are orbited closely by another star, they sometimes steal mass away from their companion. The stolen matter builds up on the surface of the white dwarf, triggering eruptions called novae. Theorists have long predicted how these volatile partnerships, called cataclysmic variables (CVs), form, but now a new Caltech-led study reveals a surprising twist: In some cases, a third star, circling farther away from the primary pair, may in fact be the reason the star couple got together in the first place.

Following archaeological excavations at François Verdier station, line C of the Toulouse metro opens a new window onto the ancient city, as Tisséo builds the Saint-Aubin relief shaft.

A team from the University of Geneva and HUG has shown that the side on which the first symptoms of the disease appear - left or right - influences patients' cognitive and emotional symptoms. Parkinson's disease often begins asymmetrically, affecting either the right or left side of the body first. Researchers from the University of Geneva and the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) have demonstrated that this initial side of onset influences the progression of non-motor symptoms.

At concentrations of CO2 470 times higher than atmospheric concentrations, a soil bacterium accomplishes something extraordinary: it turns gas into stone.

How a methodological bias has shaped perceptions of eating behavior-and why more sophisticated measurement approaches are needed  In brief: Misleading information: years, the idea that people make over 200 unconscious food choices per day has been widely circulated. However, this figure is based on a methodologically problematic study and paints a distorted picture of human decision-making.

Eleven research projects involving Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam have received a grant from NWO for the SSH Open Competition M 2024. The researchers will be starting work on promising ideas for five years. The projects cover the entire breadth of the SSH research field, some with an interdisciplinary or cross-domain character.

Menopause and labour market perspectives, dignity for migrants and football games and (anti-)racism: it is a selection of the six research projects Erasmus University Rotterdam is involved in, which are being honoured by NWO in the SGW Open Competition 2024.

The University of Bonn's second Digital AI Day event served as a demonstration of how artificial intelligence can relieve administrative burden in day-to-day operations and enhance competencies, playing a transformative role.

For the first time, patients have received a new type of biodegradable stent developed by medical technology company and TU/e spin-off STENTiT.

New research from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has revealed that when given a choice, the UK prefers less extreme body shapes in flat-faced (brachycephalic) dogs.

TU/e's Signal Processing Systems group develops smart algorithms that produce razor-sharp details on echoes.

One in five children and youth in Ontario will experience mental health challenges in their lifetimes, according to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMA).
