18-Nov-2025 Europe’s hidden power: Turning waste heat into profit European Science Communication Institute gGmbH Europe’s industries waste massive amounts of energy like heat. The iWAYS project created the Heat Pipe Condensing Economiser (HPCE) to capture this waste and reuse it. Tested in factories across Europe, it cuts emissions, saves water, and reduces energy costs while keeping production running smoothly. Funder Horizon 2020 Framework Programme

17-Nov-2025 Newborn genetic screening compensates for the shortcomings of the heel-prick test | World Prematurity Day BGI Genomics Preterm babies face greater health risks from the moment they are born. Their organs, immune systems, and metabolic pathways are not fully developed, making them more vulnerable to complications. Early identification of health risks becomes essential for improving survival and long-term development. A new study revealed that newborn genetic screening identified 94% of missed cases by the heel-prick test. World Prematurity Day on Nov. 17 is an opportunity to raise awareness for the wider society that newborn genetic testing is a powerful new layer of protection. For preterm babies, who often present with overlapping symptoms, this early genetic insight gives clinicians a clearer path to faster, more targeted care.
