Digital concerns around privacy, online misinformation, and work-life boundaries are highest among highly educated, Western European millennials, finds a new study from researchers at UCL and the University of British Columbia.
A revolutionary quantum sensing project that could transform cancer treatment by tracking how immune cells interact with tumours has been awarded a prestigious £2 million Future Leaders Fellowship.
The four-year fellowship, funded by UK Research and Innovation, focuses on a critical problem: immune cells often fail when they encounter cancer tissue because the tumour environment disrupts their metabolism. The pathbreaking project could enable the development of improved patient-tailored cancer therapies and provide tools for earlier diagnosis and evaluation of anti-cancer drugs.
All-solid-state lithium–sulfur batteries promise high theoretical energy density and inherent safety, but their full capacity delivery is seriously hindered by incomplete sulfur conversion. Here, researchers from Tianjin University, Zhengzhou University and Soochow University propose a tandem catalysis strategy to segment the reaction pathway, flatten reaction energy barriers and thus realize deep sulfur conversion in ASSLSBs, which they demonstrate by cobalt single-atom catalysts anchored on a conductive MXene substrate.
As 6G approaches, Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks (SAGIN) are creating a complex electromagnetic environment (CEME). A new survey published in the National Science Review presents a comprehensive road-map for Electromagnetic Situation Awareness. The researchers propose an integrated modeling framework combining Digital Twins, Agent-Based Modeling, and AI to optimize spectrum resources and ensure reliable communication across highly heterogeneous network domains.
A new study shows that traffic-related pollution in a major urban area in central Israel produces immediate, measurable changes in the atmospheric electric field, while particulate matter creates slower, delayed effects. The research also identifies a strong weekend signal, with reduced emissions leading to a marked weakening of the electric field. These findings are important because they point to atmospheric electricity as a highly sensitive, real-time indicator of urban air quality, capable of detecting rapid changes in emissions that conventional monitoring may miss. The results suggest a new way to track the immediate impact of traffic patterns and emission-reduction policies on city air, with potential implications for urban planning, environmental monitoring, and public health.
