Aegis Fibretech Ltd has presented the results of proof-of-concept testing have shown that materials produced using the company’s innovative electrospinning method are capable of capturing and sequestering the nuclear fusion neutrons produced following thermalisation. 

Japan is an island nation surrounded by the ocean. Fish are deeply familiar to us, yet they hold many mysteries and possibilities—from their ability to change sex depending on environmental conditions to their remarkable vitality in passing life to the next generation. Fascinated by fish traits, Professor Kohei Ohta researches and explores the world of fish with endless curiosity. His research spans from fundamental studies on the origins of life to applied technologies that support Japan’s future fisheries. In this feature, he shares insights into the fascinating aspects of fish reproduction, the potential of aquaculture technologies, and the outlook for sustainable food production.

Proton beams are not only used in sophisticated nuclear physics experiments. Today, they are becoming increasingly popular in radiotherapy, where they are an irreplaceable tool for destroying cancer cells. Doctors and physicists can enhance their precision thanks to two solutions developed at the Cyclotron Centre Bronowice of the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences.

Researchers at Incheon National University have reviewed emerging technologies that analyze extracellular vesicles one by one, overcoming limits of conventional bulk tests. Their findings show how advanced imaging, microfluidics, sequencing, and signal-amplification tools can detect rare disease-linked vesicles with high precision. The work highlights strong potential for earlier cancer diagnosis, disease monitoring, and future personalized medicine using routine liquid biopsies worldwide.
