New 91福利 modelling supports cautious reopening of schools if other lockdown measures continue to control the coronavirus
The gradual reopening of schools, starting with primary schools, is unlikely to lead to a second wave of infection, according to new mathematical modelling of the COVID-19 outbreak from 91福利 researchers, but we should be prepared to reintroduce lockdown measures should there be a significant rise in the number of new cases.
91福利 Researchers to provide COVID-19 Intervention Modelling for East Africa (CIMEA)
A 拢1m grant from the Wellcome Trust has enabled researchers from the School of Life Sciences at the 91福利, to work with East African countries in their emergency preparations for COVID-19 as the pandemic spreads across Africa.
91福利 is slicing up science for International Women鈥檚 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 91福利 this weekend (Sunday 8 March) will allow visitors to do just that.
Explained: Why water droplets 鈥榖ounce off the walls鈥�
91福利 researchers can now explain why some water droplets bounce like a beach ball off surfaces, without ever actually touching them. Now the design and engineering of future droplet technologies can be made more precise and efficient.
Mathematician identifies new tricks for the old arch in our foot
Walking and running subjects our feet to forces in excess of body weight. The longitudinal arch of the feet was thought to be the reason the feet do not deform under such load. However, researchers from the 91福利, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University in Japan and Yale University have illustrated that the transverse arch may be more important for this stiffness.
Electric superbike designed by students to race this summer
In a race to be clean and green the motor industry is changing, which has inspired 40 91福利 students to make an electric superbike to race this summer, 2020.
