UK’s Global Talent Visa supports mobility of scientists and researchers
February 22, 2021
Are you a researcher or a scientist seeking a fast route into the UK post Brexit? There's still time to benefit from the Global Talent Visa. With an extended COVID-19...
Kinky graphene ‘straintronics’ for smaller, faster microchips
February 16, 2021
Using 'straintronics' rather than electronics, researchers have produced the tiniest microchips yet by applying what is effectively nano-origami to graphene to create structural functionality. These nanomaterial developments allows more microchips...
Droplet formation at the nanoscale
February 4, 2021
It is surprising to find such everyday physics in the nanoscale world of molecular biology, but when researchers observed how droplets of TPX2 formed on rod-like filaments called microtubules they...
Closed-loop chemical recycling of common petrochemical realised
January 28, 2021
Imagine plastics and rubber that can be chemically unzipped back to reusable monomers for recycling. In the way of all the most exciting advances, this process of depolymerisation - a...
Antiviral coating kills viruses and bacteria for product lifetime
January 26, 2021
Can you imagine a world where you wouldn't have to worry about disease transmission from surfaces such as door handles, keyboards, bank notes, and even doctor's gowns and facemasks? Matt...
Unlimited gas separations materials data and analysis for industry
January 25, 2021
An international research team has reduced the analysis of materials for gas separation from weeks to hours. The extraction of pure gases for use across the energy, utilities, food and...
Developing multi-functional catalysts with light switches
January 25, 2021
Researchers were able to observe the atomic-scale features of a catalyst using an environmental transmission electron microscope, enabling them to manipulate and optimise catalytic reactions using light. This technique could...
Long-life, long-range, rapid recharging, affordable electric car battery
January 21, 2021
Go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3 seconds and drive like a Porsche... Electric car batteries that can take you 250 miles, take only ten minutes to...
2020’s top 100 highlights in research and scholarly commentary
January 21, 2021
Good science thrives - even during a pandemic! We all know what dominated most of our thoughts in 2020, but many scientists continued to focus on driving ideas within their...
Laser-triggered chemical adhesion for tissue engineering of replacement organs
January 19, 2021
Laser-triggered chemical adhesion used to build proteins onto biological polymer scaffolding to bring artificial but functional, laboratory-grown replacement organs one step closer to a reality. Researchers have found lasers and...
