As one of the world’s most revered gourmet foods, some truffles can sell for more than €1,000 per kilogram, making cultivation a lucrative business.
A new review in Journal of Management Science and Engineering maps nearly five decades of climate adaptation economics, covering 6,248 studies from 1978 to 2025. It shows how households, firms, markets and governments adapt to climate risk, why adaptation and mitigation must be coordinated, and where future research needs better data, causal evidence and models of inequality.
A new study shows that if data centers move a significant portion of their energy consumption to non-peak hours, it could help lower average energy costs in the U.S. The environmental impact of these changes, in terms of the type of energy consumed, would differ by region.
Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) has secured £4.8 million from NHS England to continue delivering the NHS Clinical Entrepreneur Programme (CEP), which helps National Health Service staff develop innovations alongside their day jobs.
Since launching with ARU in 2016, CEP has supported the creation of 691 businesses that address real-world healthcare challenges and helped raise more than £1.27 billion of investment.
Advances in foundation models (FM) have opened the gates to an advanced use of artificial intelligence for healthcare. FMs are an AI system with a great ability to perform accurately on new sets of data or tasks, instead of just memorizing the material it was trained with. Vision-language foundation models (VLFM) are particularly of interest to clinicians as a means to aid in report generation and question answering, with vision-language agents (VLAs) being representative of the next frontier for AI acting in a healthcare space.
A novel economic model projects that patients with heart failure would live longer lives and spend less time in hospital by expanding heart failure care to include pharmacist- and nurse practitioner-led medication management. Findings from the novel study in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology, published by Elsevier, demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of this service and offer a roadmap towards improved patient outcomes and a stronger and more sustainable healthcare system.
