Institute for Molecular Engineering breakthrough could lead to new display or sensor technologies. Liquid crystals, with their uniform molecular structure and orientation, offer exciting possibilities for future technology.
“Ubiquitous” smartphone gambling and lack of regulation presents a potential danger to people with addiction problems. A study carried out at the University of Nottingham tracked participants playing a simulated mobile gambling app.
It is still a mystery why a blow to the chest can kill some people yet save others. We may be one step closer to an answer, however, thanks to a device developed by researchers at EPFL and the University of Bern that can replicate the experience in the laboratory.
A team of Cambridge researchers have found a way to control the sea of nuclei in semiconductor quantum dots so they can operate as a quantum memory device.
Understanding the global carbon cycle provides scientists with vital clues about the planet's habitability.
Noninvasive measurements of calcium could reveal neurons' roles in different types of behavior. Calcium is a critical signaling molecule for most cells, and it is especially important in neurons.

Here's a batch of fresh news and announcements from across Imperial. From a laser focused talk from a Nobel laureate, to razor sharp research into the evolution of crocodile faces, here is some quick-read news from across the College.
In a new film, leading Cambridge University researchers discuss the far-reaching advances offered by artificial intelligence - and consider the consequences of developing systems that think far beyond human abilities.
The Yale School of Public Health proudly welcomes a large number of new tenure track faculty joining us this academic year.
Patric McCoy, AB'69, who bought his first piece at UChicago: 'You see something you like, get it.' Patric McCoy, AB'69, a retired environmental scientist, bought his first piece of art when he was an undergraduate at the University of Chicago.
As part of a strategic international cooperation program of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Empa in Dübendorf (CH) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research ISC in Würzburg (D) launched a three
A new process turning waste glass into every day products could save tens of millions of tonnes of glass from going to landfill every year.
Nobel laureate returns to UC San Diego to offer personal perspectives on gene machines and breakthrough science A t a Feb.
The UKRI will contribute £7.1 million to the project, which will be combined with funding from industry partners and Imperial to create a Centre worth £20 million.
The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) is one of the world's leading climate research initiatives.
Cambridge researchers are to take part in a study to examine the impact of concussion in motorsports, with the aim of reducing traumatic brain injury and helping drivers recover.
These images from ESA's Mars Express satellite show a branching, desiccated system of trenches and valleys, signs of ancient water flow that hint at a warmer, wetter past for the Red Planet. We see Mars as a cold, dry world, but plenty of evidence suggests that this was not always the case. Research in past years instead increasingly indicates that the planet once had a thicker, denser atmosphere that was able to lock in far greater amounts of warmth, and therefore facilitate and support the flow of liquid water on the surface below.
System better allocates time-sensitive data processing across cores to maintain quick user-response times. Today's data centers eat up and waste a good amount of energy responding to user requests as fast as possible, with only a few microseconds delay. A new system by MIT researchers improves the efficiency of high-speed operations by better assigning time-sensitive data processing across central processing unit (CPU) cores and ensuring hardware runs productively.
TV programming, including streaming, remained a driver of diversity - and more female directors were represented Jessica Wolf “Wonder Woman” took moviegoers by storm in 2017, taking in more than $820 million in ticket sales worldwide.
Seven assistant professors from the fields of astronomy, biology, computer science, economics and statistics have been named 2019 Sloan Research Fellows.
In the nearby Whirlpool galaxy and its companion galaxy, M51b, two supermassive black holes heat up and devour surrounding material. These two monsters should be the most luminous X-ray sources in sight, but a new study using observations from NuSTAR (Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array)-a Caltech-led mission managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed by Caltech for NASA-shows that a much smaller object is competing with the two behemoths.
DOE project aims to boost productivity, lower cost of algae biofuels and bioproducts Los Alamos National Laboratory and partners are inviting the algae industry and academia to contribute to research to find the best algae strains for biofuels and bioproducts. By collaborating with industry and academia, we aim to bring together the best of the best strains and cultivation strategies to rapidly boost productivity and reduce costs.
Over £370,000 has been awarded to Dr Catherine Hogan at the European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute to help find new targets for early detection of pancreatic cancer.
