Not by the book: How an Irish startup is transforming STEM learning in the classroomJune 13, 2019
It is widely accepted that getting children interested in STEM subjects from an early age should be encouraged as it provides a gateway for future interest in later years, and CleverBooks, is doing this by integrating modern technology into the teaching of these subjects, writes Ken Mitchell
New 3D-printed technology lowers cost of common medical testMay 29, 2019
A desire for a simpler, cheaper way to do common laboratory tests for medical diagnoses and to avoid 'washing the dishes' led researchers to develop a new technology that reduces cost and time

Layer of Protection Analysis: Key points to improve a layperson’s understandingMay 7, 2019
PM Group's Richard Coffey outlines a number of points to help improve communication and provide a better understanding of Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) among safety professionals, operations personnel and production managers
Crowd oil: Fuels from air-conditioning systemsMay 7, 2019
Researchers have proposed a method enabling air conditioning and ventilation systems to produce synthetic fuels from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water from the ambient air. Compact plants are to separate CO2 from the ambient air directly in buildings and produce synthetic hydrocarbons which can then be used as renewable synthetic oil
