24-Oct-2025 Fasting may help pass longevity advantage to future generations, study finds BGI Genomics The secret to a longer life lies not just in what we eat, but maybe in when we don’t. When young worms went six days without food, they lived about 19% longer as adults. A fascinating study suggests that fasting might extend lifespan not only for individuals but also for their descendants, even generations later. The study, conducted by researchers from Baylor College of Medicine, was published in the journal Science in September. Journal Science

23-Oct-2025 ‘Green’, Coin-Sized Sensors from the MetaVEH Project for 6G and Seismic Monitoring Politecnico di Milano ‘Green’, energy-independent sensors as small as a coin have been developed for wireless networks and real-time monitoring. These are the results of the MetaVEH (Metamaterial Enabled Vibration Energy Harvesting) project, which has just ended, following funding of €4 million under the Horizon 2020 ‘Pillar 1 – Excellent Science’ call to reduce CO2 emissions. The research was conducted by a consortium consisting of three universities — Imperial College London, the Politecnico di Milano and ZHAW Zürich as lead institute — together with Multiwave Technologies and STMicroelectronics. The initial idea was simple: to exploit the movement of vehicles on structures such as bridges and motorways, feeding the harvested energy into sensors used to monitor those same structures.
