Recognition of urban water bodies using deep learning with multi-source and multi-temporal high spatial resolution remote sensing imagery

Written by

Data from High Spatial Resolution Remote Sensing Imagery (HSRRSI) provides detailed information required for the recognition of surface water bodies, including the texture, geometric structure and spatial distribution of […]

Frailty screening: Doing good and avoiding harm

Written by

Worldwide, the number and proportion of older people in the population is increasing.

Ageing populations bring both opportunities and challenges for the economy, services and society. Screening for frailty aims to match the healthcare offered with a person’s needs, circumstances and capacity to […]

The Lattice, the Clock, and the Microscope: A Next-Generation Quantum Simulator

Written by

Understanding systems of many interacting quantum particles remains one of the grand challenges in physics. Simulating such systems on supercomputers is impossible for more than a few particles, but promising […]

Debt narratives to break free

Written by

For over-indebted individuals in Sweden, getting out of poverty can be tricky because of the country’s debt-reconstruction rules. A new study by Professors Pernilla Liedgren and Christian Kullberg at Mälardalen […]

When control is lost: Studying the interactions of ATP and acetylcholine in the urinary bladder

Written by

The inner lining of the bladder, known as the urothelium, triggers the reflex controlling urination.

The inner lining of the bladder, known as the urothelium, not only serves as a passive barrier but also triggers the reflex controlling urination (the micturition reflex). The neurotransmitter ATP […]

Planetary Protection Policy: For sustainable space exploration and to safeguard our biosphere

Written by

JAXA is planning a sample return mission from the Martian satellite(s).

The search for the origin of life amongst the planetary bodies in our solar system is a driving factor in space research. However, the simple act of sending a spacecraft […]

Lighting Up Iridium Complexes

Written by

Ir-containing molecules have proved very popular for OLED devices.

Iridium (Ir) is a fascinating element. A rare metal found in the Earth’s crust, Ir can bond with a variety of other elements to make different metal complexes. Such complexes […]

Laboratory lungs: The implications of lung organoids for health and disease

Written by

Dr Leibel has developed stem cell-derived lung organoids to learn more about lung development.

Lung disease is a major public health concern. However, research is hindered by the challenges of developing translatable human lung systems in a laboratory setting. Dr Sandra Leibel, neonatologist and […]

Predicting post-seismic liquefaction through geological response analysis

Written by

During liquefaction, solid sandy ground behaves like a liquid, posing a significant threat in earthquake-prone regions. Seismic waves cause water-saturated sandy sediments to flow, resulting in ground subsidence and flooding. […]

How to change the world: COMPASS on science and effective communication

Written by

COMPASS connects and supports diverse science leaders for the well-being of people and nature.

Scientists have information that can help us solve complex problems that threaten us all, such as climate change and biodiversity loss. COMPASS is a non-profit organisation which believes that strategic […]
