Juana Mari Delgado Saborit, a researcher at the Universitat Jaume I, participated as an expert in a presentation on public health problems and the effects of gas cooking on the climate at the UK Parliament, as part of the event “Policy pathways to electrify cooking for public health and the planet”. In her speech, the coordinator of the research group Perinatal Epidemiology, Environmental Health and Clinical Research helped to put the magnitude of the problem into perspective by providing figures on the number of children with asthma and premature deaths associated with the use of gas cookers, and highlighted the need for measures and policies to reduce emissions from these appliances.

On May 20, the 12th session of the “CACA Frontline Broadcast” academic conference, organized by the Chinese Anti-Cancer Association (CACA), concluded successfully in a hybrid format. During the conference, Professor He Jianxing and Professor Liang Wenhua's team from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University shared their research findings recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), titled “Non–Risk-Based Lung Cancer Screening With Low-Dose Computed Tomography.” Professor He provided an in-depth overview of the study's background, rationale, and strategic considerations.

UNSW researchers are using plant proteins and food engineering to recreate the texture, melt and nutrition of traditional cheeses — without the cow.

Research shows that chronic social isolation can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. In response to this health crisis, Kennesaw State University researchers are developing an AI-powered tool to help older adults connect.

Recent advancements at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory show that 3D-printed metal molds offer a faster, more cost-effective and flexible approach to producing large composite components for mass-produced vehicles than traditional tooling methods.

 

The research, conducted at the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility, or MDF, at ORNL, confirms that large-scale additive manufacturing is well-suited for creating complex metal molds, with efficiencies that could accelerate the adoption of lightweight composite materials in the automotive sector.

 

A 10-story cold-formed steel-framed building will soon be put to the test on an earthquake simulator at the University of California San Diego to see how well it can withstand earthquakes. The UC San Diego shake table is the only outdoor facility of its kind in the world, and the only simulator capable of testing a building of this height. 

The research team led by Senior Researcher Dr. Minki Sin at the Department of Medical Robotics, Daegu Convergence Technology Research Center, under the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (President Seog-Hyeon Ryu, hereinafter referred to as KIMM), affiliated institute of the National Research Council of Science and Technology (Chairperson Yeung-Shik Kim, hereinafter referred to as NST), developed an ultra-light robotic prosthetic hand that allows amputees to stably and efficiently grasp various objects with simple commands.

At Georgia State University, researchers are studying “functional foods” like berries, nuts, and peanuts—rich in polyphenols that help prevent and manage conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Associate Professor Rafaela Feresin and her team explore how these compounds work at the molecular level to reduce inflammation and support metabolic health, while also mentoring the next generation of scientists.
