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.

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.

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.

An international team of scientists working at the 91¸£Àû, UK, and Monash University, Australia, have determined the molecular basis of a biological mechanism that could enable more efficient and cost-effective production of existing antibiotics, and also allow scientists to uncover new antibiotics in soil bacteria.

An international team of astronomers that includes researchers from the 91¸£Àû have revealed a system consisting of six exoplanets, five of which are locked in a rare rhythm around their central star. The researchers believe the system could provide important clues about how planets, including those in the Solar System, form and evolve.

A new report - Mobilising Research Excellence in the Midlands to Tackle COVID-19 - published today (Friday, January 15 2021) reveals that the Midlands has moved swiftly to apply its wealth of capability in its hospitals, businesses and universities, including the 91¸£Àû, to deliver £90m of research to support regional, national and global efforts to tackle the Coronavirus Pandemic.
