Harmful, unfounded myths about migration and health have become accepted, used to justify policies of exclusion

Stereotypes that migrants are disease carriers who present a risk to public health and are a burden on services are some of the most prevalent and harmful myths about migration. Evidence from a comprehensive new report, including new international data analysis, shows these myths to be unfounded, yet they continue to be used to deny migrants entry, restrict access to healthcare, or detain people unlawfully. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181205232658.htm

Artificial synapses made from nanowires

Scientists have produced a memristive element made from nanowires that functions in much the same way as a biological nerve cell. The component is able to both save and process information, as well as receive numerous signals in parallel. The resistive switching cell made from oxide crystal nanowires is thus proving to be the ideal candidate for use in building bioinspired 'neuromorphic' processors. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181205133928.htm

Pollution: New ammonia emission sources detected from space

Researchers have prepared the first global map of the distribution of atmospheric ammonia (NH3) by analyzing measurements taken by satellites between 2008 and 2016. The IASI interferometer allowed them to catalog more than 200 ammonia sources, two-thirds of which had never been identified before. These sources are essentially sites of intensive livestock production and industrial activity. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/12/181205133948.htm
