A study led by the University of Bern has recently revealed that 623 people died in Switzerland in the summer of 2022 due to heat related health issues. Climate change is the main reason behind the heatwaves.

Researchers are currently exploring perovskite solar cells at the Institute for Photovoltaics. This solution is an ideal alternative to the silicon solar cells which are currently available in the market.

Researchers have developed a new ‘lab-on-a-chip’ testing technology that can help a person, who doesn’t have access to medical centers, to know if they are suffering from Covid-19 or flu.

Researchers have reported that obese children are more likely to become obese adults which increases their chances of developing cardiovascular disease in adulthood. They also suggest measures to overcome this problem.

Researchers have revealed that heart patients with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator if depressed are less likely to take their medication as compared to patients without depression. It is estimated that approximately one in every five patients who have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator is affected by depression or anxiety.

Researchers have used crab carbon derived from crab shells to develop anode materials for the next generation of rechargeable batteries i.e. sodium-ion batteries. This work could pave the way for researchers to explore other wastes in order to develop more sustainable solutions.

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s new bioanalytical lab is located in Richmond, Virginia and will help to accelerate the firm’s drug discovery process and expand its clinical research operations in the region.

How do nutritional changes affect the interaction between trees and soil microorganisms? This has long remained a black box but a new study has shed light onto this cryptic association. It shows that increased soil nutrition changes the communication between trees and their associated fungi.

A sustainable chemical separation method that uses membranes, microalgae and artificial intelligence has been developed by a team drawn from different Kaust groups whose members have diverse specialties in bioengineering, membranes and water reuse and recycling.

An international team of researchers led by the University of Adelaide’s Professor Shizhang Qiao and Associate Professor Yao Zheng from the School of Chemical Engineering has succeeded in splitting green hydrogen from seawater without pre-treatment.
