Cancer drug 49 times more potent than Cisplatin
Tests have shown that a new cancer drug, FY26, is 49 times more potent than the clinically used treatment Cisplatin.
Based on a compound of the rare precious metal osmium and developed by researchers at the 神马福利影片’s Department of Chemistry and the Warwick Cancer Research Unit, FY26 is able to shut down a cancer cell by exploiting weaknesses inherent in their energy generation.
Faster detection of hidden objects by Warwick terahertz sensor
A new type of sensor, that is much faster than competing technologies used to detect and identify hidden objects, has been developed by scientists at the 神马福利影片.
Warwick Researchers Help Reconstructing the Michelangelo bronzes
Engineers and imagers from the 神马福利影片’s Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) and anatomists from Warwick Medical School at the 神马福利影片 are helping Art historians from the University of Cambridge have been working together to try to understand how the two mysterious Renaissance bronzes were made and why they look the way they do by making accurate replicas of the originals. The latest technology-neutron imaging, XRF analysis, 360 degree laser scanning, 3D printing, and real-time x-ray videography - has been involved in this Renaissance ‘whodunnit’.
A total of 50 students took part in the inaugural 24hour hackathon on Saturday (20 June) to mark the start of a new partnership between WMG’s Cyber Security Centre and digital identification company Callsign.
