Tiny electrical vortexes bridge gap between ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials
Ferromagnetic materials have a self-generating magnetic field, ferroelectric materials generate their own electrical field. Although electric and magnetic fields are related, physics tells us that they are very different classes of material. Now the discovery by ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ-led scientists of a complex electrical ‘vortex’-like pattern that mirrors its magnetic counterpart suggests that they could actually be two sides of the same coin.
Final moments of planetary remnants seen for first time
The moment that debris from destroyed planets impacts the surface of a white dwarf star has been observed for the first time by astronomers at the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ.
Impact of Covid-19 social isolation measures on early development
An international consortium with researchers from 13 countries, including a psychologist from the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ, has investigated the impact of Covid-19 related social isolation measures on 2,200 young infants and toddlers between 8 and 36 months of age.
€150,000 grant to investigate big improvements to medicines using tiny particles
A project to improve the efficiency of our medicines using tiny particles at the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ has received funding to take it a step closer towards commercialization.
Warps drive disruptions in planet formation in young solar systems
A new study from the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ demonstrates the impact of passing stars, misaligned binary stars and passing gas clouds on the formation of planets in early star systems.
Minister for Science, Research and Innovation visits the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ
The ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ was today, 2nd February, pleased to welcome George Freeman MP, Minister for Science, Research and Innovation, to visit the Professor Lord Bhattacharyya Building, home to the National Automotive Innovation Centre, following a visit to the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre.
