18-Jun-2026 Study: What could happen when you describe your past relationship story? SWPS University Breaking up with a loved one is often a painful life experience, one that is difficult to recover from. Researchers from SWPS University, however, suggest that a simple step can help. Writing down the story of a past relationship increases the effectiveness of thinking about the past and future in close relationships. It is also associated with a better understanding of the causes of relationship breakdown, they write in the prestigious journal PLOS One.

18-Jun-2026 KRISS develops saltwater-processed graphene sensor for ultrafast harmful gas detection at room temperature National Research Council of Science & Technology The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President Dr. Lee Ho Seong) has successfully developed a chlorinated graphene (Cl-Gr) gas sensor that uses readily available saltwater to rapidly detect and recover from harmful gases at room temperature. Because the sensor can operate without a separate heating element, it significantly improves the prospects for practical gas sensors in compact devices, where their use has long been limited by power consumption and heat generation.

17-Jun-2026 White roofs and urban parks reduce heat in cities, but do not offset extreme global warming Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona The implementation of reflective white roofs and new urban parks can significantly reduce temperatures in cities and decrease population vulnerability to heat waves, although these measures are not sufficient to counteract the projected increase of more than 6 °C by 2100. This is demonstrated by a recent study led by the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), Spain. Journal Urban Climate
