BrainHealth Week 2025 celebrates the potential of our brains to get stronger

Center for BrainHealth
Business Announcement

Center for BrainHealth®, a leader in advancing the science and practice of brain health and part of The University of Texas at Dallas, announces the third annual BrainHealth Week, February 24-March 1, 2025. Events and community activities throughout the week will celebrate the brain’s lifelong potential to get stronger. “Enhancing brain health stands as a pivotal force propelling our society forward,” said the center’s founder and chief director, Sandra Bond Chapman, PhD. “We are on a mission to provide simple tools and effective measurements for everyone – no matter their age – to proactively increase their brain’s fitness and performance and discover how strong it can be

Scientists develop magnesium-enriched nanofiber patches for safer wound healing

Shibaura Institute of Technology

Healing severe wounds requires strong, safe, and effective dressings to prevent infections. Researchers at the University of Lincoln and Shibaura Institute of Technology have developed a new type of wound patch by adding magnesium chloride to polyurethane nanofibers. These enhanced patches are stronger, more blood-compatible, and exhibit superior antibacterial properties than conventional ones, making them a game-changer for wound care. This innovative approach could improve healing outcomes and care for patients with serious injuries.

New catalysts for more sustainability

Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf
Grant and Award Announcement

The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) funds research into controlled quantum states of individual or coupled systems with its ongoing emerging talent program “Quantum Future”. Among the first selected projects, which kicked off in January 2025, is “qHPC-GREEN”, proposed by junior research group leader Dr. Werner Dobrautz, who began building his research team at the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS), an institute of Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), only in late 2024. The computational chemist aims to model quantum mechanical systems at the heart of certain biochemical and physical phenomena that are relevant to environmental and energy challenges. The project running until the end of 2029 will combine quantum and high-performance computing to achieve this goal.
