Researchers have developed machine learning tailored anodes that accelerate green-hydrogen production by overcoming noble-metal dependence and enabling more-than-Moore energy systems. The optimized anode materials exhibit improved proton-hopping barriers, OER over-potential, and thermal compatibility.
The Lancet Countdown on Health and Plastics monitors the effects of plastic pollution on human health, citing $1.5 trillion in annual economic losses. Researchers track the life cycle of plastics to identify key drivers of harm, including production, use, and disposal.
Metal-halide-perovskite scintillators have made significant advancements in light yield, timing, flexibility, and multi-energy imaging. These innovations enable ultra-low-dose imaging, sub-nanosecond timing, flexible curved platforms, and stacked scintillators with interlayer optical filters.
Emerging technologies like spatial and single-cell omics improve our understanding of tumor biology and facilitate personalized cancer immunotherapies. These approaches enable researchers to identify novel biomarkers that predict therapeutic responses and monitor disease progression in real-time, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
The Lancet Countdown on Health and Plastics announces a new, independent monitoring system to track the impact of plastic pollution on human health. The report estimates 8 billion metric tons of plastic waste pollute the planet, harming health at every stage of the plastic life cycle.
New research shows a small reduction in quad bike deaths at work in Australia since the introduction of new safety standards, but public health experts emphasize the need for continued action to keep Australians safe.
A new project aims to track the health impacts of plastics and monitor progress in reducing their effects on human health. The Lancet Countdown on Health and Plastics will identify and document indicators that highlight the risks associated with plastic production, use, and disposal.
Researchers at University of Queensland have found that Brazilian Nightshade and Climbing Asparagus can be converted into market-grade pellets, providing an alternative to wood-based biofuels. The study aims to reduce the environmental footprint of agriculture by utilizing invasive weeds as a source of biomass.
The Journal of Medical Ethics has been ranked the world's leading bioethics journal according to 2025 Google Scholar Metrics. The journal is co-led by Associate Professor Brian D Earp and a new editorial team seeking to promote ethical reflection and conduct in scientific research and medical practice.
