Exposure to aircraft noise linked to worse heart function
People who live close to airports and are exposed to high aircraft noise levels could be at greater risk of poor heart function, increasing the likelihood of heart attacks, life-threatening heart rhythms and strokes, according to a new study led by UCL researchers. The study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), looked at detailed heart imaging data from 3,635 people who lived close to four major airports in England.

Exterior displays on autonomous vehicles could keep cyclists safe
Digital displays on the exteriors of self-driving cars could help cyclists stay safe on the roads of the future, researchers say. Digital displays on the exteriors of self-driving cars could help cyclists stay safe on the roads of the future, researchers say. Animated representations of virtual drivers, traffic-light-like projections on to the road or even emojis displayed on their surfaces could allow autonomous vehicles to share advance warning of their movements with bike riders.

Self-driving cars must learn the language of cyclists to keep roads safe
Future generations of self-driving cars should learn the language of cyclists to help them safely share the roads with bikes, new research suggests. Human-computer interaction specialists from the University of Glasgow are highlighting the need for new systems in autonomous vehicles (AVs) capable of replicating the complex social interactions between human car drivers and cyclists on UK roads.

Selective use of scents could encourage healthier eating or improve consumers- airline flight experiences The use of scents to generate a feel-good atmosphere is well established at tourist resorts, hotels and shops (and by cunning house sellers with the infamous baking bread and fresh coffee trick) but research shows the pandemic-hit industry would benefit from exploring a more targeted approach to scents to influence their customers and passengers.
