As urbanization and climate change bring more coupled risks to cities, a new study in Engineering offers practical perspectives. It focuses on a complex systems approach, emphasizes the role of human factors, and presents methods like a standardized taxonomy and people-centric strategies to better understand and manage these risks.

A team of researchers has developed a pioneering 3-axis Hall-effect magnetic sensor based on an inverted pyramid structure.

Innovation created by healthtech supported by FAPESP showed the lowest estimation error among all non-invasive methods already available in the world.The tecnnology consists of a sensor placed on the patient’s head that registers the nanometric expansions of the skull in each cardiac cycle and generates, in real time, a wave that indicates the variations in volume and intracranial pressure. 

Researchers at Duke University and North Carolina State University have discovered a handful of new CRISPR-Cas systems that could add to the capabilities of the already transformational gene editing and DNA manipulation toolbox. Of the new recruits, one system from bacteria commonly found in dairy cows shows particular promise for human health.

On March 11, 2025, at the China Collective Stand of the London Book Fair, Tsinghua University Press (TUP) and the University of Toronto Press (UTP) sign a licensing agreement for the English version of Harnessing Data for Improved Productivity: Managing the Full Life Cycle of Data.
