A Yale-led team has developed a strikingly cheap way to clean "forever chemicals" out of farmland — using crushed rock and homemade charcoal instead of costly excavation or incineration.

A laboratory study by the University of Cambridge found that commonly used sweeteners can alter the growth of gut bacteria. The effects varied when sweeteners were combined with medicines and other substances, although further research is needed to determine their relevance to human health.

Humanity may have spoken fewer languages before farming than we do today — and tens of thousands more at the height of ancient empires. A new study in Science reconstructs 12,000 years of linguistic history, revealing a surprising "golden age" of language diversity roughly 1,000 to 3,000 years ago, followed by a dramatic collapse that began long before European colonialism.

From healthcare and climate science to farming and AI safety, UK's most powerful AI supercomputer, Isambard-AI, is helping researchers tackle some of the world's biggest challenges.

Pressure differentials inside cleanrooms are not very large, as Vaisala’s Senior Project Engineer Sean Murphy explains, most are set somewhere between 5-15 Pascal. However, maintaining that differential is a critical part of the overall cleanroom contamination control strategy. These small pressure differences help air move in the right direction; help separate cleaner areas from areas with higher contamination risk and help organizations demonstrate that the environment has remained under control. In short, it is an important measurement for quality, compliance, and production continuity.

Green solvents, such as supercritical CO2, can replace harmful organic solvents in laboratories. Many sustainable lab methods will be showcased at Lab Innovations 2023 which is scheduled to take place from November 1–2 at the NEC, Birmingham in the United Kingdom.

Researchers have developed a new type of 3D-printable material that mimics the human tissue’s ability to sort and filter, allowing certain molecules to pass through while keeping others out. This material can be used in a variety of applications across medicine, water and robotics.

Amsbio introduces the cfPure Cell Free DNA extraction kit which has been designed to isolate circulating cell free DNA from human plasma or serum samples. The magnetic bead-based DNA extraction kit makes use of a quick, simple, and automation friendly protocol that allows users to quickly extract high-quality cfDNA that is ready for use in downstream applications.

Biotech Fluidics has introduced peristaltic tube connectors that are ideal for making reliable and secure connections with soft-walled, peristaltic tubing. With this, the firm has expanded its range of barbed peristaltic tube connectors.

Testa Analytical has recently announced Trinity, a powerful new triple detector for Gel Permeation Chromatography / Size Exclusion Chromatography. The Trinity triple detector combines high-performance chromatographic detector technologies and powerful, yet easy to use software into an advanced triple detector GPC/SEC system.

Artificial intelligence, robotics, new business models, and evolving customer expectations are reshaping business and industry at an unprecedented pace. For leaders, simply reacting to change is no longer enough. What is required are strategic decisions that make organizations resilient, innovative, and future-ready. Transformation is no longer optional. It is a leadership responsibility. This will be the focus of the T3 Conference 2026.

Treating salty industrial wastewater and recovering valuable metals has long required separate processes. A new electrochemical platform combines both tasks in a single step, improving water reuse while reducing waste and downstream processing.

A new study has examined how temperature-associated suicide mortality will change by the 2050s under various climate change scenarios. It also revealed that temperature-related suicide mortality is expected to increase in all studied areas as temperatures rise in the future.

A study has revealed that portable air filters do not cut respiratory and other infections in older people’s care homes. It suggests that care homes continue with standard infection control methods, including vaccinations, regular cleaning and hand washing.

New research has revealed that common food preservatives found in industrially processed foods may increase the risks of high blood pressures and cardiovascular disease. It has also found eight preservative food additives linked to high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease.

Drinking water with meals may not curb appetite as widely assumed, while extra spice could help people eat less. Cornell researchers found that bite-and-sip patterns and slower eating may have a greater influence on food intake than previously thought.

A laboratory study by the University of Cambridge found that commonly used sweeteners can alter the growth of gut bacteria. The effects varied when sweeteners were combined with medicines and other substances, although further research is needed to determine their relevance to human health.

Researchers in Japan have developed a non-genetically modified brewing yeast that produces significantly higher levels of ornithine while retaining normal fermentation performance. The wild-yeast-based approach could open new routes for value-added craft beer and other functional fermented foods.

New fossil evidence suggests the ecosystems of North and South America were connected long before the Panamanian land bridge fully formed. The findings provide fresh insights into the origins of modern biodiversity and the evolutionary history of mammal migration across the Americas.

Compounds from wolfsbane and larkspur have long been linked to pain relief, cancer therapy and other medical applications, but their complexity has hindered production. Researchers have now decoded the first stages of their biosynthesis, opening new possibilities for naturally inspired therapeutics.

Helping smokers quit remains one of the biggest opportunities to reduce tobacco-related disease. New recommendations urge healthcare professionals to include nicotine e-cigarettes among the evidence-based cessation options discussed with adult patients, while acknowledging that long-term safety data remain limited.

Uneven light distribution has long limited algae cultivation. Researchers have now demonstrated a hydrogel fiber system that delivers sunlight deeper into cultivation systems, boosting photosynthetic efficiency and increasing biomass yields by up to sixfold.
