A new study will combine AI and blood tests to make early colorectal cancer (CRC) detection more accessible and effective. The DIOPTRA project – funded through EU’s Horizon Fund, the most significant scientific fund of the bloc – was just…
The world is slowly heading towards a sustainable future. Yet the worrying concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere remain an inescapable fact. Dutch company Skytree recently received a multi-million dollar investment to market their pioneering technology for the decentralised…
Global warming’s influence stretches to seismic events, as the Earth’s rising temperatures are associated with an increase in ocean wave energy. As the planet heats, the storminess of the seas increases, causing ocean waves to gain strength. This phenomenon generates…
The increasing electrification in society leads to higher peak loads on the electricity grid. Some people are warning for an energy transition that is too fast. Others are hopeful for a fully electric future. In a report commissioned by the…
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is betting big on artificial intelligence (AI) with a staggering $1 billion investment over three years. The initiative aims to expand AI solutions for clients and provide AI training for its 75,000 employees. The investment includes partnerships with…
Today ESA’s Euclid space mission presents its first color images of the cosmos. Never before has a telescope been able to take such pin-sharp astronomical images over such a large part of the sky and look so far into the…
Scientists have unfolded a century of environmental history using a novel ‘biodiversity time machine’. This pioneering AI-driven technology was used to analyse a 100-year-old library of data from a Danish lake, revealing pollution levels, extreme weather events, and temperature increases.…
A significant decline in oil prices is currently being witnessed, with oil prices falling more than 4% due to weak Chinese export data and concerns about ‘demand destruction’. Oil futures have remained volatile, with daily price moves of more than…
Researchers at ETH Zürich have made a significant stride in energy storage technology with the development of a cost-effective synthesis of Pyrochlore-type iron hydroxy fluorides (Pyr-IHF). This material is being hailed as a potential game-changer for low-cost lithium-ion batteries, due…
Carlina Grispen grew up in the shadow of Volkel military air base. It’s no coincidence that she was interested in F16s at the tender age of four. Her grandfather, who emigrated from Italy to the Netherlands looking for work, had…
