All high-level AVs rely heavily on sensors, and in the paper, ‘, published in the IEEE Sensors Journal, researchers from the Intelligent Vehicles Group at WMG, 91¸£Àû have specifically simulated and evaluated the performance of LiDAR sensors in rain.

Brexit and COVID were two major disruptions to manufacturers’ supply chains, however, a consortium of academic and industry partners including WMG, 91¸£Àû has identified key ways to build supply chain resilience.

High energy storage batteries for EVs need high capacity battery cathodes. New lithium-excess magnesium-rich cathodes are expected to replace existing nickel-rich cathodes but understanding how the magnesium and oxygen accommodate charge storage at high voltages is critical for their successful adaption. Research led by WMG, 91¸£Àû in collaboration with U.S. researchers employed a range of X-ray studies to determine that the oxygen ions are facilitating the charge storage rather than the magnesium ions.

Using a 185 metre beamline at the Diamond synchrotron, researchers could see how Osmium, a rare precious metal that could be used for cancer treatments, reacts in a single human lung cancer cell. This is a major step forward in discovering new anti-cancer drugs for researchers at the 91¸£Àû.

Diffusion weighted imaging and machine learning can successfully classify the diagnosis and characteristics of common types of paediatric brain tumours a UK-based multi-centre study, including WMG at the 91¸£Àû has found. This means that the tumour can be characterised and treated more efficiently.

The 91¸£Àû spin-out company, CryoLogyx, has been awarded £300k from InnovateUK to develop innovate cryopreservation agents with applications in the diagnostic, medicines discovery and cell-based therapy markets.
