As a species, we have a remarkable history of scaling up and distributing new technologies among the world’s population. For centuries, books and letters were precious and limited to a small elite, today the printed word is ubiquitous and production costs are negligible. The most recent democratisation of technology took…

The breast cancer tumour is one of the fastest-growing tumours and is often diagnosed very late in its growth. X-ray imaging isn’t fast enough here. Hunain Bin Amir’s team has developed a new generation of infrared sensors combined with AI that can be employed in pocket-size gadgets for breast cancer…

How a Bacterial Defence System Revolutionizes Biomedical Research Many past scientific revolutions started with basic research, curiosity and a surprise moment. When Emmanuelle Charpentier and her co-workers were busy studying the defence system used by bacteria to shake off attacking viruses, they knew that this discovery was relevant way beyond…

The key to understanding the interplay between cancer and the immune system is quantifying the spatial biology and co-expression patterns of critical cell types. We used lessons from astronomy (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) to efficiently map tumor pathology tissues with high-fidelity, single-cell resolution using multispectral microscopy. The resultant AstroPath platform…

The major source of water pollution with oil is small gas and car washing stations, whose wastes are not cleaned nor controlled. Olena Boruk designed, tested, and put into use an original filter with coal adsorbents that prevents oil from entering wastewaters. The filter is affordable and can be used…
