23-Oct-2025 ‘Green’, Coin-Sized Sensors from the MetaVEH Project for 6G and Seismic Monitoring Politecnico di Milano ‘Green’, energy-independent sensors as small as a coin have been developed for wireless networks and real-time monitoring. These are the results of the MetaVEH (Metamaterial Enabled Vibration Energy Harvesting) project, which has just ended, following funding of €4 million under the Horizon 2020 ‘Pillar 1 – Excellent Science’ call to reduce CO2 emissions. The research was conducted by a consortium consisting of three universities — Imperial College London, the Politecnico di Milano and ZHAW Zürich as lead institute — together with Multiwave Technologies and STMicroelectronics. The initial idea was simple: to exploit the movement of vehicles on structures such as bridges and motorways, feeding the harvested energy into sensors used to monitor those same structures.

22-Oct-2025 Can grape seed extract slow the growth of prostate cancer after treatment? University of Colorado School of Medicine Grape seed extract – a dietary supplement made from the seeds of wine grapes – has been investigated to see if it can help reduce blood cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. But can it also help slow down the growth of prostate cancer in men who have already undergone treatment? Meeting AACR Annual Meeting 2025
22-Oct-2025 Many patients learn they could have cancer in the emergency department University of Colorado School of Medicine Abdominal and chest pain. Injuries. Breathing difficulty. Infections. Mental health emergencies. Those are some of the most common reasons why people go to the local emergency room. But that's also where a surprisingly large percentage of cancer cases are first diagnosed.
22-Oct-2025 An understudied type of breast cancer poses a lurking threat University of Colorado School of Medicine University of Colorado Cancer Center member Matthew Sikora, PhD, is a national leader in research into an understudied subtype of breast cancer that’s on the rise in American women, is often more difficult to detect than other forms of breast cancer, and has sharply lower survival rates several years after diagnosis than the most common type of breast cancer. Sikora’s latest research seeks ways to open up a new treatment option for people with this challenging cancer type, known as lobular breast cancer or invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), representing about 15% of all breast cancer cases.
22-Oct-2025 A major study examines endoscopies that fail to detect esophageal cancer University of Colorado School of Medicine An endoscopy – using a fiber-optic tube to peer inside the body and collect biopsy samples – can be an invaluable way to detect cancer of the esophagus. But sometimes, an endoscopy can miss esophageal cancer, which doesn’t get detected until weeks or months later.
