International researchers have quantified for the first time the influence of proglacial lakes on mountain glaciers
“This study is also critical because the timing of ice retreat is often used to determine the synchrony or lack thereof of in climate events globally. Major inferences have been made about the roles of phenomena like oceanic circulation in affecting the global climate system from glacial retreat timings. If the timings are wrong, the relationship between these processes may need to be re-examined.”

The microbiome could help explain wide variation in the antibacterial properties of mānuka honey.
The microbiome—a complex community of bacteria—was surprisingly specific and consistent for mānuka leaves, even across distant geographical locations, suggesting that these bacteria may play important roles in how mānuka responds to stress and different environmental conditions.

Unlocking the aesthetic potential of microfluidics, turning petite research aides into masterpieces
Combining their expertise, the two formed a research collaboration looking at how to best preserve microfluidic chips for visualisation and permanent display. Rebecca was among the researchers on their international team, whose scientific paper discussing ‘Art-on-a-Chip’ was recently published in leading nanotechnology journal Small.

Airports are the biggest user of facial recognition technologies globally, and police second.
In New Zealand, NEC said it had a "particularly close relationship" with police. This included supplying finger and palm print biometrics, though facial recognition was not mentioned in NEC's PR material. It has been reported police here are using US company Dataworks Plus to replace their old facial recognition system.
