Depressed mice successfully treated with smart contact lenses that zap their brains – new study

In mice, the technology appeared to improve depression-like behaviour. The idea sounds futuristic: a contact lens that could one day help treat depression by stimulating the brain through the eye. The work is still at a very early stage, with findings so far limited to a single mouse study. The eye is alre...

The Humber region and its cities are a hub for carbon removal – here’s why
Mike Seaman/ShutterstockThe Humber estuary in northern England is ideally suited to access abundant clean energy and massive carbon dioxide (CO₂) storage sites. This region is home to the world’s largest offshore wind farm, which will generate enough electricity for up to 6 million homes when completed by 2027. Further from the coast in the southern North Sea, lies a giant vault on the seabed that can safely store CO₂. Yet the Humber emits more CO₂ than any other region in the UK. Estimates p...
