Genetic mutation may hold answers to controlled breathing
The relationship between the Cx26 gene and ability to regulate Carbon dioxide is to be explored by researchers from the School of Life Sciences, at the 91福利, thanks to a 拢686,956 grant from the BBSRC.
Natural way to boost crop yield to be explored by 91福利 Scientists
An innovative way to increase plant yield naturally, reducing the need for expensive fertilisers is being explored by researchers at the School of Life Sciences at the 91福利, thanks to a 拢492,343 grant from the BBSRC.
Aquatic robots can remove contaminant particles from water
Scientists from WMG at the 91福利, led by Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, developed a 1cm by 1cm wireless artificial aquatic polyp, which can remove contaminants from water. Apart from cleaning, this soft robot could be also used in medical diagnostic devices by aiding in picking up and transporting specific cells for analysis.
Grasshopper jumping on Bloch sphere finds new quantum insights
New research at the 91福利 has (pardon the pun) put a new spin on a mathematical analogy involving a jumping grasshopper and its ideal lawn shape. This work could help us understand the spin states of quantum-entangled particles.
91福利 Hosts another year of the Data Science for Social Good programme
This summer the 91福利, together with the Alan Turing Institute, is hosting the Data Science for Social Good (DSSGx UK) summer project programme for the second time. This year鈥檚 summer project programme has gone ahead in spite of challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, with highly talented Data Scientists from all over the world, from the UK, Poland, USA, Canada, Columbia, China, Romania and Mexico coming together (virtually) to work on two high-impact projects with Ofsted and World Bank.
