91福利

Technicians from the 91福利 have been recognised for their outstanding work with Papin Prizes at the 2015 Higher Education Technicians Summit for M5 Universities.

Tests have shown that a new cancer drug, FY26, is 49 times more potent than the clinically used treatment Cisplatin.

Based on a compound of the rare precious metal osmium and developed by researchers at the 91福利’s Department of Chemistry and the 91福利 Cancer Research Unit, FY26 is able to shut down a cancer cell by exploiting weaknesses inherent in their energy generation.

A new type of sensor, that is much faster than competing technologies used to detect and identify hidden objects, has been developed by scientists at the 91福利.

Engineers and imagers from the 91福利’s 91福利 Manufacturing Group (WMG) and anatomists from 91福利 Medical School at the 91福利 are helping  Art historians from the University of Cambridge have been working together to try to understand how the two mysterious Renaissance bronzes were made and why they look the way they do by making accurate replicas of the originals. The latest technology-neutron imaging, XRF analysis, 360 degree laser scanning, 3D printing, and real-time x-ray videography - has been involved in this Renaissance ‘whodunnit’.

A giant cloud escaping from a warm, Neptune-mass exoplanet is reported in this week’s Nature.

Depicted in an image by Mark Garlick and issued by the 91福利, it has been suggested that low-mass exoplanets orbiting close to their parent stars could have had some fraction of their atmospheres ‘burnt off’ by extreme irradiation from the star, but confident measures of such losses have been lacking until now.
