Is the role of “hotel manager” still needed in the hospitality sector? This is the central question behind a new study from the University of Surrey.  

Vaccines save millions of lives every year, but there is still an urgent need for more efficient vaccines that target pathogens transmitted through the respiratory tract and may cause fatal infections. Research from the University of Oslo demonstrates that a new versatile vaccine technology, a needle-free, albumin-based vaccine platform, may be attractive for design of vaccines against multiple respiratory pathogens. Hopefully, this may pave the way for vaccines that provide not only systemic immunity, but also protection at the actual site of infection.

While exploring a digitally represented object through artificially created sense of touch, brain-computer interface users described the warm fur of a purring cat, the smooth rigid surface of a door key and cool roundness of an apple.

The intensification of existing farmland can sometimes be more harmful to local biodiversity than expanding the area covered by agricultural land, finds a new study led by University College London researchers.

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba estimated Japan's spring leaf flush dates in recent years using data from the Second-generation Global Imager (SGLI) sensor onboard the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA) Global Change Observation Mission-Climate (GCOM-C) satellite. Their analysis revealed that in 2023 and 2024, years characterized by exceptionally high spring temperatures, leaf flush occurred significantly earlier than usual, indicating that elevated temperatures linked to climate change are affecting Japanese ecosystems.
