The detection of cancer-associated micro-ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) in urine through a combination of nanowire-based miRNA extraction and machine learning (ML) analysis by researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo) can fuel the development of early-stage cancer diagnostic tools. The nanowire-based capture and extraction of miRNAs in urine enabled the detection of more than 2,000 distinct miRNA species, while the ML-based classifier accurately distinguished between cancerous and noncancerous samples.

Today, young people from all over the world can participate in major UN climate conferences. But inequality and bureaucracy make this impossible for many. This is the conclusion of a study carried out at Linköping University, Sweden. According to one of the researchers behind the study, the UN therefore needs to invest more money in the participation of young people.

For the first time in six years, the number of Deutschlandstipendium scholarship holders at Goethe University Frankfurt has reached the 600 mark again – thanks to the higher amount of donations received from private individuals, companies and institutions. On Wednesday, November 13, scholarship holders and sponsors met at a social get-together.

A group of researchers has implemented polyphenylene-based anion exchange membranes (AEMs) poised to make hydrogen production more efficient and durable. Its robust hydrophobic design enables effective ion transport while resisting chemical degradation. This supports its potential for durable, high-efficiency use in AEM water electrolyzers, making it a promising component in sustainable hydrogen production applications​, which would advance the goal of a carbon-free energy future.
