A new study warns of the increasing impact of climate change, urban living, and digital misinformation on sleep health across Europe. The researchers call for coordinated action to protect sleep health, improve sleep health literacy, and tackle structural inequalities.
Researchers at Nottingham Trent University developed room-temperature liquids containing chemical elements that produce distinctive patterns of light. The materials could provide a flexible new approach to optical tagging and anti-counterfeiting, while being compatible with existing processing and printing technologies.
A new home sensor system uses radar, heat sensors, and smart plugs to track daily routines and detect potential health events, enabling elderly individuals to remain independent for longer. The system combines data from these technologies to identify unusual patterns, allowing for early intervention and care.
The new smart agriculture research center at Nottingham Trent University features cutting-edge technologies for smart farming and sustainable food production. The facility will harness innovative methods to assess how to provide nutritious and fast-growing fresh food despite unfavorable weather, soil, and water conditions.
A new study found that combining cryopreserved sperm with larger breeding populations in zoos and aquaria could significantly improve the long-term survival prospects of endangered pupfish. Genetic diversity is essential for species survival, and the researchers suggest that this approach could provide zoos with a practical way to stre...
Sir Stephen Fry has been appointed as the new Patron of the Primate Society of Great Britain, following Jane Goodall's passing. The PSGB works on conservation, research, and education to protect primates and their habitats, facing threats from habitat loss and climate change.
A new study found that road traffic kills almost a third of hedgehogs in some British populations each year, with smaller populations at risk of collapse and local extinction. The research reveals that even small amounts of roadkill can have devastating effects on already small populations.
Research suggests that facially expressive individuals are liked more by others, both independently and in conversation partners. They also tend to achieve better social outcomes in negotiations and conflict resolution.
