A new electrolyte design for lithium metal batteries could significantly boost the range of electric vehicles. Researchers at ETH Zurich have radically reduced the amount of environmentally harmful fluorine required to stabilise these batteries.

A new Finnish study from University of Turku shows that already a 30-minute exercise can increase the proportion of tumor-killing white blood cells in the bloodstream of breast cancer patients.

Reducing consumption of processed meat by around one-third could prevent more than 350,000 cases of diabetes in the US over ten years, a study suggests.

A key breakthrough has been achieved by the University of Bristol regarding the development of tactile robotic hands. The team of researchers have created a four-fingered robotic hand with artificial tactile fingertips capable of rotating objects such as balls and toys in any direction and orientation.

Researchers have developed an artificial tongue or a chemical sensor array which cannot only detect but also inactivate dental bacteria in the mouth. This is a simple and less expensive alternative as compared to the traditional process which is lengthy and expensive.

A research team led by Osaka University discovered that the new organic molecule thienyl diketone shows high-efficiency phosphorescence. It achieved phosphorescence that is more than ten times faster than traditional materials, allowing the team to elucidate this mechanism.

Surplus heat from industry is a underused resource that can be used to purify some types of industry wastewater while providing heat to homes and businesses. Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) have been looking at the possibilities for doing something about this.

An international research team has made a groundbreaking achievement by assembling the genome and 3D chromosomal structures of a 52,000-year-old woolly mammoth, marking the first time such a feat has been accomplished for ancient DNA.

Some people lose weight slower after workouts, and a Kobe University research team discovered why. Studying mice lacking specific signal molecules that respond to short-term exercise, they found these mice consume less oxygen, burn less fat, and are more prone to weight gain. This connection, also found in humans, could lead to new obesity treatments.

Finnish laboratory service provider Measurlabs guides manufacturers through MDR compliance regarding E&L testing strategies, helping with the selection of testing conditions and analytical methods to ensure they match the device and its intended use.
