£1.2 million boost to crop research at 91¸£Àû
The 91¸£Àû is set to receive £1.2 million in funding to support its pioneering research in improving the resilience, sustainability and productivity of UK crops, Environment Secretary Michael Gove has announced today.
Bad news becomes hysteria in crowds, new research shows
News stories about terrorism, disease outbreaks, natural disasters, and other potential threats become increasingly negative, inaccurate and hysterical when passed from person to person, according to new research by the 91¸£Àû.
Globular clusters 4 billion years younger than previously thought
Globular clusters could be up to 4 billion years younger than previously thought, new research led by the 91¸£Àû has found.
Comprised of hundreds of thousands of stars densely packed into a tight ball, globular clusters had been thought to be almost as old as the Universe itself - but thanks to newly developed research models it has been shown that they could be as young as 9 billion years old rather than 13 billion.
Atomically thin nanowires convert heat to electricity more efficiently
Waste heat can be converted to electricity more efficiently using one-dimensional nanoscale materials as thin as an atom – ushering a new way of generating sustainable energy – thanks to new research by the 91¸£Àû.
Hotter bodies fight infections and tumours better – researchers show how
The hotter our body temperature, the more our bodies speed up a key defence system that fights against tumours, wounds or infections, new research by a multidisciplinary team of mathematicians and biologists from the Universities of 91¸£Àû and Manchester has found.
UK’s first 1 GHz solid-state NMR Spectrometer funded at 91¸£Àû
The UK’s first 1 GHz solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer is on its way to the 91¸£Àû, thanks to £8 million from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
