The UK government has announced a plan to move away from single-use medtech products towards a “circular system” involving more remanufacture and recycling. A newly published “roadmap” document explains that circularity in medtech means designing, procuring and processing medical products in a way that enables them to be reused, remanufactured or recycled, preserving their value […]
Researchers now estimate how much “white gold” may be found in southern Arkansas’s vast lithium reserves: up to 19 million tons, or enough to meet the projected 2030 world demand nine times over. United States Geological Survey (USGS) researchers used water testing and machine learning to get an estimate of what might be found in […]

Researchers have developed a cancer immunotherapy system that can be switched off and on to varying degrees of intensity, using existing drugs. Scientists at Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have devised new types of chimeric antigen-receptor (CAR) T cells. These cells express synthetic receptors that detect specific molecular markers, or antigens, on cancer cells using […]
Siloton, the Bristol-based health technology start-up, has secured £860,000 to progress the commercial roll-out of its groundbreaking eye imaging chip technology, which could help address the UK’s most common cause of sight loss.
