Rainbow Badges across the NHS

Last year, the Evelina London Children’s Hospital, part of Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital Trust, became the first hospital in the UK to offer staff the opportunity to wear NHS Rainbow badges, which send a message to people who identify as LGBT+ that the hospital is an inclusive place that welcomes everyone. LGBT+ stands for […]

Food Freshness Sensors Could Replace ‘Use-By’ Dates To Cut Food Waste.

Imperial academics have developed low-cost, smartphone-linked, eco-friendly spoilage sensors for meat and fish packaging. The researchers say the new sensors could help detect spoilage and reduce food waste for supermarkets and consumers. One in three UK consumers throw away food solely because it reaches the use-by date, but sixty per cent (4.2million tonnes) of the […]

Extra Finger ‘Birth Defect’ Could Provide Blueprint for Robotic Extra Limbs

New research on two people born with extra functional fingers has shown how the brain adapts to the workload imposed by more digits. The findings could show us how to tap into the brain’s resources to control robotic extra limbs and digits. Worldwide, about one in every 500 babies are born with extra fingers or […]
