Two new advanced predictive algorithms use information about a person’s health conditions and simple blood tests to accurately predict a patient’s chances of having a currently undiagnosed cancer, including hard to diagnose liver and oral cancers. The new models could revolutionise how cancer is detected in primary care, and make it easier for patients to get treatment at much earlier stages. 

A research team has uncovered a promising solution to reduce the explosive potential of tert-butyl perbenzoate (TBPB), a widely used chemical initiator in polymerization processes.

The Hertz Foundation has announced 19 recipients of the 2025 Hertz Fellowships in applied science, engineering and mathematics. The 2025 Hertz Fellows are pursuing solutions to some of our most vexing challenges, including developing proprioceptive robotic hands, building collision avoidance systems for satellites, and developing grid-scale renewable energy storage systems. 

A new planning formula to optimise the lifecycle value of Australia’s warships in an era of geopolitical instability has been proposed by researchers at the University of South Australia.

Researchers have developed a new protocol for characterizing quantum gate errors, paving the way toward more reliable quantum simulations and fault-tolerant quantum computing.

About The Study: Cannabis use in pregnancy was associated with greater odds of preterm birth, small for gestational age, and low birth weight even after adjusting for co-use of tobacco products, and confidence in these findings increased from low in the prior review to moderate in the current meta-analysis. The findings of this study may help inform patient counseling and future public health policies.
