Strategies to reduce antibiotic prescribing in primary care are insufficient alone to halt the rise in drug resistant E. coli infections in England, a new report concludes.

Around the Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, rhodoliths made up of coralline red algae provide ecological niches for a wide variety of organisms. A team of researchers has recently discovered a large quantity of microplastics in this ecosystem.

Traditionally used energy harvesting technologies, like photovoltaic panels or wind turbines, suffer from several limitations. In the absence of daylight and wind, neither of the two can supply any power. In the case of ocean buoys, a potential solutio…

Amid poor worldwide road safety despite the United Nations’ ambitious goals, a team o researchers sought to quantify the effects of Japan’s annual road safety campaigns. These 10-day campaigns have been held twice yearly since 1952. The researchers acq…
