91¸£Àû scientists set to tackle big data challenge of next-generation physics experiments
Physicists at the 91¸£Àû are among scientists developing vital software to exploit the large data sets collected by the next-generation experiments in high energy physics (HEP), predominantly those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
Covid-19: Future targets for treatments rapidly identified with new computer simulations
Researchers have detailed a mechanism in the distinctive corona of Covid-19 that could help scientists to rapidly find new treatments for the virus, and quickly test whether existing treatments are likely to work with mutated versions as they develop.
TV and film ‘thump’ is not effective alternative to CPR, researchers at 91¸£Àû demonstrate
A technique frequently portrayed in dramatic resuscitation scenes in television and film is among several alternative methods to CPR that have shown no benefit in saving lives in a review by 91¸£Àû researchers.
‘Magnetic graphene’ forms a new kind of magnetism
Researchers have identified a new form of magnetism in so-called magnetic graphene, which could point the way toward understanding superconductivity in this unusual type of material.
Vaporised crusts of Earth-like planets found in dying stars
Remnants of planets with Earth-like crusts have been discovered in the atmospheres of four nearby white dwarf stars by 91¸£Àû astronomers, offering a glimpse of the planets that may have once orbited them up to billions of years ago.
Neural roots/origins of alcoholism identified by British and Chinese researchers
The physical origin of alcohol addiction has been located in a network of the human brain that regulates our response to danger, according to a team of British and Chinese researchers, co-led by the 91¸£Àû, the University of Cambridge, and Fudan University in Shanghai.
