19-Nov-2025 X-ray vision dives deep to boost safety, inspection and response DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers have developed the first X-ray imaging system that clearly reveals the interior of suspicious objects or infrastructure underwater.
19-Nov-2025 Hoping to enjoy your holidays? Avoid the sneeze and wheeze triggers American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology A few practical steps from allergists can make all the difference in avoiding allergy and asthma flares, and having a healthy and comfortable celebration.
19-Nov-2025 Finding solutions to Europe’s skills shortage University of Warwick The Skills2Capabilities project has been tackling some of the most pressing questions facing Europe’s labour market: how to support workers to update their skills, navigate career transitions, and stay resilient throughout life – and how to give employers access to a workforce ready for the demands of green and digital transitions.

19-Nov-2025 New mapping system ends farm mislabeling, protecting coffee and cacao trade The Alliance of Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture A new mapping system developed by Alliance Bioversity International and CIAT aims to tackle farm mislabeling in the coffee and cacao industries, safeguarding supply chains and consumer trust. Farm mislabeling, where the origin or type of produce is falsely claimed, has historically led to economic losses for genuine farmers and undermined fair trade practices.
19-Nov-2025 Appropriate diagnosis of COPD can have significant public health impact American Thoracic Society Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable condition marked by breathlessness, chronic sputum production and cough, claiming three million lives globally each year —particularly in low-resource countries — and is expected to increase due to aging populations and ongoing exposure to risks like tobacco smoke and air pollution.
19-Nov-2025 Barry Silverstein ’84 to help lead the future of AR/VR at URochester University of Rochester Barry Silverstein is stepping down as the senior director of optics and display research at Meta Reality Labs Research to lead the University of Rochester's Center for Extended Reality (CXR), a transdisciplinary center focused on artificial intelligence, augmented reality, virtual reality, and everything in between.
18-Nov-2025 Accelerating Access to Inhaled Medicines in Africa: Leveraging the RACE Africa Project Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease Through healthcare worker training, community education, and practical diagnostic tools, the RACE Africa project is equipping frontline healthcare providers to recognise and manage COPD — and empowering communities to understand and act on respiratory health.

18-Nov-2025 UMaine Ph.D. students develop AI tool to improve breast cancer detection University of Maine The Context-Guided Segmentation Network (CGS-Net) developed by University of Maine researchers introduces a deep learning architecture designed to interpret microscopic images of tissue with greater precision than conventional AI models. Powered by a dual-encoder model that mirrors the workflow of a pathologist examining a slide, one branch of the network processes a high-resolution image patch to capture cell-level details, while the other examines a lower-resolution patch encompassing the surrounding tissue. A system of interconnected encoders and decoders uses data from both the high and low resolution images for a complete analysis.
