3-Mar-2025 Scientist tells how and why Islam and the West hold contrasting worldviews of knowledge as concept and practice University of Sharjah Muslim scientists had developed their own perceptions, meanings and worldviews of knowledge that differ drastically from those prevalent in the West.
3-Mar-2025 New AI model detects toxic online comments with 87% accuracy University of South Australia Computer scientists have developed a powerful machine learning model that can detect toxic social media comments with remarkable accuracy, paving the way for safer digital interactions.
3-Mar-2025 QSA quantum technologies advance insights into materials physics DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory QSA scientists have advanced major quantum computing technologies based on superconducting qubits, trapped ions, and neutral atoms. These different technologies can be applied in quantum science to study fundamental phenomena and advance new materials. The scientific and technological progress in materials physics led by QSA facilitates the understanding and design of novel properties in superconductors, quantum spin liquids, magnetism, and topological materials.
3-Mar-2025 Exploring quantum materials for a new generation of technology DOE/Brookhaven National Laboratory A technique called resonant inelastic X-ray scattering, or RIXS, is particularly suited for probing samples as thin as one atomic layer and material states that change very rapidly. With recent technological developments, researchers expect this technique to enable studies that were unthinkable only five years ago. This progress gave Mark Dean and three colleagues — Matteo Mitrano, Steven Johnston, and Young-June Kim — the impetus to chart where the field is going as a whole. So, they summarized the technique’s state of the art and how they expect the field to progress in a Perspective paper, recently published in Physical Review X. Journal Physical Review X
3-Mar-2025 China's hearing screening boosted over half of hearing-impaired students join mainstream education BGI Genomics China Boosted Quality Education Access for 32.7% More Hearing-impaired Children. By 2050, approximately 2.5 billion people worldwide will be affected by hearing loss, as projected by the World Health Organization (WHO), making the implementation of effective hearing screening programs crucial for better prevention. With genetic factors implicated in more than 50% of hearing loss cases, high-throughput sequencing (HTS)-based genetic tests, such as BGI Genomics' Carrier Screening and Newborn Screening, support early detection, thereby improving outcomes for affected children and families.
3-Mar-2025 Together we’re more – City St George’s launches new brand reflecting its ambitious vision City St George’s, University of London ity St George’s, University of London has today launched its new brand, following its successful merger in August 2024. The merger of City, University of London with St George’s, University of London, marks a significant development in creating a powerful multi-faculty institution with a distinctive focus on professional education and research at the frontier of practice.
28-Feb-2025 FASTER project to launch in 2025: Sustainable energy storage with green ammonia Politecnico di Milano FASTER focuses on harnessing green energy, such as solar and wind power, which is unpredictable and often does not coincide with peak power demand. By converting this energy into ammonia, a substance that can be easily stored and transported as a liquid, the energy can be used at a later time. This is crucial for addressing seasonal fluctuations in energy production and consumption.
28-Feb-2025 Global surge in serious heart rhythm disorders sparks urgent call to action from experts: 1 in 3 people at risk European Society of Cardiology 1 in 3 people worldwide will develop a potentially life-threatening heart rhythm disorder in their lifetime, yet awareness remains critically low. With cases rising rapidly, cardiologists from the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) are urging communities and healthcare systems to “Feel the Pulse” on Pulse Day, 1 March, and take simple steps to raise awareness of these serious but often overlooked conditions.
