In the EU project SUPREME, an international research team with the participation of Graz University of Technology is developing an electrolyser to produce green hydrogen more sustainably and efficiently.

Researchers from the Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized-Medicine (CAMP), an interdisciplinary research group (IRG) of Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), supported by SMART Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) IRG and in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and National University of Singapore (NUS), have developed a first-of-its-kind rapid, non-destructive method to monitor iron flux — the movement and rate at which cells take in, store, use and release iron — in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), which can provide insights within a minute on the cell’s ability to grow cartilage tissue for cartilage repair. This breakthrough offers a promising pathway toward more consistent and efficient manufacturing of high‑quality MSCs used in regenerative therapies, which are used to treat joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, chronic joint degeneration conditions, and cartilage injuries.

Scientists are refining a promising climate-smart material that could help clean polluted soils, protect water resources, and support more sustainable agriculture. A new review highlights how engineering biochar with magnetic and mineral modifications may significantly expand its environmental applications while overcoming key practical limitations.

A new study reveals how specially modified biochar can significantly improve the ability of willow trees to remove toxic cadmium from contaminated soils, offering a promising strategy for restoring polluted land in a sustainable way.

A University of Houston researcher was part of a global team of scientists who identified an often-overlooked biological system — biofilms — as a critical factor in the future of human space exploration.
