A randomised trial and a new meta-analysis, published in the Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing and the Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences, show that VR can reduce anxiety in some cases, but results remain inconsistent across larger datasets.

Players make fewer passes and dribbles in the heat but show sharper accuracy and smarter play. Published in the European Journal of Sport Science, this research highlights how climate change is quietly rewriting football tactics and pacing.

A new study led by Edgar Schwarz from Saarland University @uni-saarland.de analysed over 1,500 matches from the Bundesliga, La Liga, and A-League, revealing how rising temperatures reshape football performance.

Published in Pest Management Science, this innovation marks a significant leap forward in climate-smart agriculture, enabling the prediction of pest invasions before they occur. Discover how radar technology is reshaping pest management, food security and our understanding of insect migration.

Prof. Hongqiang Feng and his team at the Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences have now built Asia’s first vertical-looking radar to automatically track these high-flying travellers.

This work sheds light on the intersection of AI, data, and ethics in modern commerce.

The research reveals that even minor feelings of unfairness and privacy loss can make uniform pricing more ethical overall. By testing models through utilitarian, egalitarian, and prioritarian lenses, the team shows that equality often triumphs over efficiency in digital markets.

When algorithms decide what you pay, is it fair or invasive? A new study led by Dr Deni Mazrekaj @denimazrekaj.bsky.social from Utrecht University @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social, published in the Journal of Business Ethics, challenges the belief that personalised pricing is ethically superior.
