Thousands of people flocked to Ateneo de Manila University’s MIBF 2026 booth for celebrity signings, diverse books and journals, and a lively celebration of reading.

Summer research internships with the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences offered unique, hands-on learning opportunities for undergraduates and recent graduates.

CU Boulder researchers are leading the Open Radar Code Architecture initiative, an open-source software framework that turns commercially available software-defined radios built specifically for environmental monitoring.

SAN ANTONIO — September 14, 2026 — Southwest Research Institute is evaluating an emerging method for reactive carbon capture, a simplified process for turning carbon waste into value-added products. The method involves the use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) that rely on hydrogen bonding, a natural phenomenon that links chemicals such as water, proteins and DNA.

Twin brothers Adam and Amine Azizi helped to develop experimental techniques that provided crucial data for University of Texas at Dallas researcher Dr. Shashank Sirsi to secure a $2 million National Institutes of Health grant (1RO1EB039167). The goal of the project is to develop an ultrasound-based contrast agent that could allow doctors to monitor oxygen levels continuously in the brains of newborns with hypoxic brain injury, a condition caused by oxygen deprivation before, during or after birth.

September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month, and the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology is highlighting the importance of clinical research that advances treatments, explores earlier cancer detection, and improves the lives of people living with and beyond cancer.

A research team at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) – including Principal Researchers Dr. Sang Bok Kim and Dr. Inyong Park and Senior Researcher Dr. Younghun Kim of the Department of Urban Environment Research, Eco-friendly Energy & Environment Research Division – has begun developing a compact electrostatic precipitator-based air purification module for use in Indian trains. The project is a collaborative effort with THN Co., Ltd., a KIMM Family Company (partner firm), as part of KIMM’s flagship air purification brand, Air Five.

Okayama University of Science has teamed up with the 1,100-year-old Okayama Shrine to create a unique goshuin, a traditional Japanese shrine seal, featuring Tarbosaurus, one of Asia’s largest carnivorous dinosaurs. Scientifically supervised by the university’s Department of Dinosaur Paleontology, the collaboration brings together dinosaur research and Japanese tradition while encouraging visitors to discover Okayama’s growing connection to dinosaurs.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated an innovative approach for targeted breast cancer therapy using pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs). The NUS team successfully reprogrammed tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs), a corrupted class of immune cells that typically promote cancer growth, into an active anti-tumour state that attacks and destroys cancer cells.

Prof. Chunhai Fan, who is a recipient of the Humboldt Research Award, has been conducting research at the University of Stuttgart since June. Fan works closely with Prof. Laura Na Liu of the 2nd Physics Institute. Both researchers are among the world's leading experts in the field of DNA nanotechnology.
