An astrophysicist from the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ recently chose to be transported to Antarctica to be exposed to extreme cold, eerie silences and life in the field in order to utilize her artistic side as part of a special programme designed to give a leading scientist a chance to work in another discipline– and the results of that adventure are to be presented at a special exhibition of her work at the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ later this month.
Researchers from the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ have produced a startling calculation that any move to replace the UK's oil burning vehicles with greener hydrogen powered cars and trucks would require the erection of 100,000 new wind turbines or 100 new nuclear power plants.
Researchers from the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ have found that routine physiotherapy for mild to moderate low back pain is no more effective than a single advice session with a physiotherapist.
A consortium of researchers, farmers and a major baker are working together to fill future supermarket shelves with loaves of bread that will arrest the plummeting levels in the UK diet of a mineral that plays a significant role in male fertility and the prevention of some cancers.
Researchers at the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ have found a way of using a test devised in the 1930s, and used to gauge the stress on the superchargers in wartime spitfire fighter planes, to model the stress that surgical procedures would put on an aortic aneurysm. An aortic aneurysm is a dangerous bulge in the body’s largest artery the aorta. The aorta is a crucial artery as it carries all the blood pumped from the heart.
ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ Postdoctoral research fellow Julie Macpherson has become the first ever UK scientist to win a prize worth $50,000.
