Our app encourages students to drive their own learning experience via interaction with a 3D anatomical model in augmented reality. Whilst a number of anatomy applications use augmented reality, none concentrate on ocular anatomy in detail. The breakthrough is our integration of a Learn mode coupled with an adaptive Assess…

Malaria deaths are rising, in part because the parasites which cause the disease are evolving resistance to our frontline drug treatments. Merryn Fraser argues that we need new ways to target these parasites and suggests taking advantage of essential biological pathways to deliver drugs directly to parasites, improving existing antimalarial…

Tianqi Huang is addressing the unsustainable and energy-intensive methods of pond and lake water treatment by proposing the use of a PEM Ozone water generator in ecological restoration. This solution, demonstrated in projects in China, offers advantages in cost, energy consumption, and long-term sustainability compared to traditional methods like MBR…
