The SECURED project aims at generating libraries and machine learning tools to foster innovation in the fight against blood cancers while preserving the highest privacy standards for sensitive patient data. Dr Eduard Porta, head of the Cancer Immunogenomics team at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute is part of this Horizon Europe-funded collaboration that will bring the most sophisticated technologies into the real world.

The research team of Prof. Kyu-Young Park at POSTECH has revealed the origin of capacity degradation in high-nickel cathodes, and proposed a key strategy for designing next-generation batteries that simultaneously boost energy density and lifespan.

A research team led by Dr. Hyun-Ae Cha from the Nano Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has developed a high-performance heat-dissipating composite material that achieves both eco-friendliness and low-cost processing. The team utilized a protein foaming process based on egg whites to create a three-dimensional magnesium oxide (MgO) heat-dissipating structure, which forms efficient thermal pathways that enable rapid and effective heat transfer. As a result, the developed material demonstrated a thermal conductivity up to 2.6 times higher than that of conventional heat-dissipating composites.

A new study published in Translational Exercise Biomedicine (ISSN: 2942-6812), an official partner journal of International Federation of Sports Medicine (FIMS), reveals that a progressive, multi-component exercise program, enhanced by wearable sensor technology, can significantly counteract the debilitating effects of frailty in older adults. The 12-week intervention led to remarkable improvements not only in physical strength and balance, but also in cognitive abilities and overall quality of life, presenting an effective and practical strategy for community health management in an aging global population.
