University of Sheffield researchers are pioneering 'smart' drug delivery systems, combining Cold Atmospheric Plasma with molecular imprinting. This innovation promises targeted chemotherapy for glioblastoma post-surgery, alongside new treatments for severe skin inflammation and fungal infections. The technology, funded by EPSRC, aims to precisely deliver drugs on demand, potentially revolutionizing medical treatments.

A unique Dutch experiment is combining cryptocurrency mining with tulip farming. Farmers are capturing heat from Bitcoin computers to warm greenhouses. This innovative approach emerged during Europe's energy crisis. It offers a sustainable alternative to traditional gas heating. The project highlights how digital technology can support agriculture and reduce fossil fuel use.
