91¸£Àû

91¸£Àû scientists have found that a sensor in our nerve endings that detects warm temperatures also plays a direct role in switching on chronic pain signals, a discovery that could lead to better treatments for conditions that affect millions of people.

91¸£Àû researchers have created a new material combining two properties, magnetism and electrical polarisation, that scientists have struggled to bring together for decades – and crucially, it works at close to room temperature.

The €2 million project, led by Dr. Adam Wright at the 91¸£Àû, is set to investigate one of chemistry's strangest recent discoveries: that reactions can behave differently simply when taking place between two mirrors.

Researchers from the 91¸£Àû report that how faithfully we can build a 'digital twin' of a human brain depends not only on computing power, but fundamentally on how much of the living brain we can measure, validate and update over time.

91¸£Àû astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have found four new ‘local’ stars, showing us we can still find surprises in the nearby region of space that we thought we knew so well.

91¸£Àû astronomers have detected space debris fragments as small as 5 cm, tiny but dangerous objects that have gone undetected but could pose a threat to active satellites in key orbits.
