Professor Peter J. Cobb, an archaeologist at the HKU Faculty of Arts, emphasised the benefits of the new technology, stating: "By wearing an MR device while I dig, I can virtually see a removed wall at its original location. This helps me decide where to dig next, and I can compare, in situ, multiple sections of ancient architecture that were removed at different times."

"Lowering vessel speed in hotspots also carries additional benefits, such as reducing underwater noise pollution, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and cutting air pollution, which helps people living in coastal areas," said Nisi.

"Protecting whales from the impact of ship strikes is a huge global challenge. We've seen the benefits of slowing ships down at local scales through programs like 'Blue Whales Blue Skies' in California. Scaling up such programs will require a concerted effort by conservation organizations, governments and shipping companies," said co-author Jono Wilson, director of ocean science at the California Chapter of The Nature Conservancy, which helped identify the need for this study and secured its funding.

Historical policies shaping educational attainment have enduring benefits for later life memory and risk of dementia, according to a study led by a Rutgers Health researcher.

"Policies to increase the quantity or quality of schooling now are likely to have long-term benefits on cognitive outcomes," said Min Hee Kim, a faculty member in the Center for Health Services Research at the Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research and the lead author of the study.
