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 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.
