Future Cow uses precision fermentation to create dairy ingredients in a sustainable way; the startup, supported by FAPESP, was selected to participate in VivaTech, one of Europe’s largest innovation.

A team of six Rice students developed a device that holds and stabilizes an intracardiac echocardiography catheter during heart procedures, allowing the primary physician to maintain precise control of the catheter without needing a second set of hands.

Freshly launched, the new freeware site for OpenAR2.0 glasses provides free guidance on how to build AR glasses at home, from start to finish, for just over 30 euros. The site also delves into the principles behind how AR glasses work.

The 2025 growing season is in full swing, and weed control remains a top concern for row crop producers. Experts at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture are continuing to provide research-based recommendations to help farmers manage infestations and stay ahead of increasing herbicide resistance.

Plantae, a start-up supported by the C3N-IA Science Park at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and specializing in precision agriculture, has developed new predictive models using artificial intelligence (AI) to anticipate water needs, optimize irrigation and increase crop productivity. The potential applications of this technology range from intensive agriculture to professional gardening and the maintenance of football pitches, golf courses and other sports facilities.

Researchers in Germany and the U.S. set a new fusion record, this time for the triple product in a plasma longer than 30 seconds: a key measure of whether a fusion system can sustain itself. It’s calculated by multiplying three factors: plasma density, temperature and the length of time the plasma is confined in the magnetic field. The international effort moves the world one step closer to a commercial fusion power plant, which will need to run continuously at temperatures hotter than the sun. 

China's Subsidized Cancer Screening initiaive in Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang Province, benefits millions in the area. The project uses the more effective, non-invasive stool DNA test, which outperforms the traditional fecal immunochemical test (FIT) in detecting advanced adenomas and identifying high-risk individuals earlier.

To explore how genetic testing guides precision medicine for both gynecologic cancer patients and clinicians, we spoke with two leading experts: Professor Wu Xiaohua, Professor of Medical Oncology at Fudan University's Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, and Professor Du Bin, Chief of Pathology at Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital.
