AI turns printer into a partner in tissue engineering

Organ donors can save lives, for example those of patients with kidney failure. Unfortunately, there are too few donors, and the waiting lists are long. 3D bioprinting of (parts of) organs may offer a solution to this shortage in the future. But…

Study highlights disproportionate climate risk to children worldwide

A new study has found that children born today are likely to experience significantly more exposure to extreme climate events over their lifetime than previous generations - unless global greenhouse gas emissions are substantially reduced.
