Metals could be the link to new antibiotics

ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ researchers, working with a network of international collaborators, have discovered 23 previously unexplored compounds containing metals such as silver, manganese, zinc, ruthenium and iridium that have antibacterial and antifungal activity. The researchers from the University's Department of Chemistry contributed insights into iridium – the ‘dinosaur metal’ that they have previously shown can attack cancer cells when switched on by light and formed part of the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs.

Warwick is slicing up science for International Women’s Day

Fancy learning about space science, making protein jelly, and lighting up a few LED circuits – all before you enjoy tea and cake?

An event at the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ this weekend (Sunday 8 March) will allow visitors to do just that.


Warwick opens its doors for another science extravaganza

Fancy tasting ice cream made with liquid nitrogen, building a wind turbine or dancing like a sound wave? Youngsters with a passion for science will be able to enjoy some real-life experiments at the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ’s Science Gala next week.


European Research Council awards €3.8 million to two Warwick-led projects

Two projects led by ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ researchers are to benefit from a share of €600 million funding from the European Union.


Lasers, rockets and explosions as Christmas lectures return to Warwick

Lasers, chemical reactions and the biggest explosion allowed in Warwick Arts Centre are among the spectacles promised at this year’s Christmas Lectures at the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ.


An Artificial Intelligence algorithm can learn the laws of quantum mechanics

Artificial Intelligence can be used to predict molecular wave functions and the electronic properties of molecules. This innovative AI method developed by a team of researchers at the ÉñÂí¸£ÀûӰƬ, the Technical University of Berlin and the University of Luxembourg, could be used to speed-up the design of drug molecules or new materials.
