A new study from the Big Data Institute and Nuffield Department of Population Health shows that people averaging over ~12 ,300 steps a day had a 59 % lower chance of being diagnosed later with Parkinson’s disease compared with those walking under ~6,300 steps. Each extra 1,000 daily steps corresponded to an 8 % risk reduction — a simple, measurable clue that may help identify the disease early.

Researchers at the University of Newcastle have pioneered an acid-free method to reclaim nearly all silver from decommissioned solar modules. Using mechanical crushing and froth flotation, this efficient technique takes just three minutes to extract high-grade metal for reuse. This breakthrough supports a circular economy while reducing chemical waste in the renewable energy sector.
