Climate ‘tipping points’ can be better understood and predicted using climate change data taken from the ancient past, new research led by scientists from the universities of Birmingham and Bristol shows.
Prototypes tested in India show promise as a low-cost, natural filtration option.
With the Women’s World Cup set to begin in mid-July, many discussions have returned to the quality of women’s soccer. Research conducted at UZH has now revealed some interesting findings. According to a recent study, men’s soccer is only rated significantly higher if the gender of the players is clear to see. If this isn’t the case, women’s soccer is rated the same as men’s.
Wireless sensing technology could help improve patients’ technique with inhalers and insulin pens.
Studying these organoids could help researchers develop and test new treatments for pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest types of cancer.
New research published in Anaesthesia (a journal of the Association of Anaesthetists) says that the use of facemask ventilation during routine surgery should not be classed as an aerosol-generating procedure and does not increase the risk of COVID-19 transmission compared with normal breathing/coughing of patients.
The high-contrast pattern of giant pandas helps them blend in with their natural environment.
In the first study of horse falls for over 20 years, University of Bristol academics have identified some simple interventions to reduce the risk of injury in equestrian sport - making it safer for both horses and riders.
Around a quarter of a million cats – or broadly the human population of Southampton - are living rough in the UK’s towns and cities.
Researchers from North Carolina State University sequenced the genome of a virulent Salmonella Enteritidis strain that sickened two poultry flocks in consecutive years and found that it was both antibiotic resistant and could potentially infect humans.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed materials that can be used to create structures capable of transforming into multiple different architectures.
