The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President Lee Ho Seong) has successfully exported its proprietary radioactivity measurement standard to Thailand. This milestone marks a significant step in establishing South Korea’s metrology technology as a benchmark for radiation safety management across the Asia-Pacific region.

Seven years after being diagnosed with Leigh syndrome, Asher Times is defying the odds — walking, talking, eating, and attending school in a mainstream classroom — thanks to the specialized care he’s received from Mary Kay Koenig, MD, director of the Center for the Treatment of Pediatric Neurologic and Neurodegenerative Disease at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston.

UBC scientist Leluo Guan is leading research that targets microbes in a cow’s stomach to reduce methane emissions—turning wasted feed into savings for farmers while helping slow climate change.

The Institute for Underground Science at SURF is launching the John Bahcall Colloquium, a monthly series of scientific lectures to build intellectual community while delving into the wide range of disciplines being researched at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF).

For the first time in East Africa, ILRI’s Mazingira Centre has directly measured methane emissions and feed intake from free-grazing cattle under real rangeland conditions. The breakthrough provides Africa-specific data to improve livestock emission estimates, test mitigation options, and support more productive, climate-smart pastoral systems.

Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), in collaboration with Canaph Therapeutics, and with clinical development led by Oscotec Inc., announced that the novel anticancer drug candidate OCT-598 (a dual EP2/EP4 inhibitor) has successfully entered the clinical development phase, marking a major milestone in Korea’s public–private drug development collaboration model.

Researchers journey to remote Tropical Far North Queensland to study Australia’s rarest and most geographically isolated freshwater fish.

As artificial intelligence and software systems increasingly operate in physical environments — from medical devices and vehicles to public infrastructure — the consequences of failure extend beyond data loss to real-world harm. In this feature, University of Virginia School of Data Science Associate Professor Daniel Graham explains why cybersecurity should be understood as a form of quality assurance and safety, akin to engineering standards used for bridges or power systems. Drawing on his research in secure embedded systems and his work on system evaluation and penetration testing, Graham outlines the need for stronger accountability, oversight, and professional norms to ensure that intelligent systems are not only powerful, but also trustworthy.
