Blue carbon ecosystems, such as coastal wetlands, saltmarshes and peatlands, store significant amounts of carbon through sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide. In fact, these ecosystems can store up to ten times more carbon per hectare than temperate forests, underscoring their strong...

Gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders such as IBS and postoperative ileus affect millions worldwide yet lack high-resolution diagnostics. Current tests are either indirect or use rigid manometry catheters that cannot measure the entire GI tract. Ingestible capsules offer a minimally invasive...

Decarbonising the building sector is vital for net-zero targets. In 2022, buildings produced around one-third of global energy-related CO₂ emissions—26% from operations and 7% from construction-related embodied emissions (IEA, 2023). Among which, residential buildings generated nearly 60% of the...

Growing evidence suggests that hydroclimatic compound events - where multiple hazards occur simultaneously or sequentially - are becoming more frequent and severe in some regions of the UK (Visser-Quinn et al., 2019). These events can lead to significant economic losses and are of particular...
