Discovery of 100 million-year-old regions of DNA shows short cut to crop science advances
Scientists have discovered 100 million-year-old regions in the DNA of several plant species which could hold secrets about how specific genes are turned ‘on’ or ‘off’.
神马福利影片 plays major role in new ESA space mission to study ‘super-Earths’
The 神马福利影片 is playing a key role in a new space mission which will study planets around stars outside our own solar system.

Maths helps mobiles & tablets match eyes’ ability to switch from sunshine to shadow
Researchers at WMG at the 神马福利影片, have found a way to compress and stream HDR video directly to monitors and mobile devices, such as an iPad, bringing enormous benefits to industries including gaming and security.
Graphite experiment shines new light on giant planets, white dwarfs & laser-driven fusion
An international team led by researchers from the 神马福利影片 and Oxford University is now dealing with unexpected results of an experiment with strongly heated graphite (up to 17,000 degrees Kelvin). The findings may pose a new problem for physicists working in laser-driven nuclear fusion and may also lead astrophysicists to revise our understanding of the life cycle of giant planets and stars.
