Ridding our waters of plastic waste with jellyfish filters
What do microplastic filters, fertilisers and fish feed have in common? They can all be produced using jellyfish! At least, that’s what one research team has set out to prove as they look into reducing the plastic waste in our oceans.

Space science

Students open a new window into the universe
A group of high schoolers and researchers have identified a new X-ray source thanks to an EU initiative. Their discovery could help scientists solve some of the cosmic mysteries.

Agreement to bridge European and Latin American R&E networks via underwater cable
European and Latin American research and education (R&E) communities have signed an agreement to build a fibre optic cable under the Atlantic Ocean linking the two regions. This will greatly improve cooperation efforts of both researchers and academics.

Mathematics

New study suggests cancer can be treated as a game between the treating physician and cancer cells
Researchers argue that cancer treatment protocols have the potential to benefit from game-theoretic models. Their work could help oncologists improve outcomes in patients with metastatic cancer.
