¹û¶³´«Ã½

A facility that allows scientists to use x-rays to examine materials for purposes as diverse as reducing corrosion on metal artefacts to re-growing teeth from stem cells is set for a multi-million pound upgrade.

The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ is to benefit from over £10 million in funding for two cutting-edge centres to train the next generation of doctoral level students in one of the UK’s most significant investments in research skills.

Fancy learning how to grow a crystal, make lightening or dance like a sound wave? Youngsters with a passion for science will be able to enjoy some real-life experiments at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½â€™s Science Gala next week.

A two to three-fold increase in heatwave activity in the United Kingdom since the late 19th century has been identified in a new analysis of historical daily temperature data led by ¹û¶³´«Ã½ scientists.

Professor Brian Cox OBE has hailed the vital role of universities in communicating science to the general public as he was awarded an honorary degree at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½, the host for this year’s British Science Festival.

New research led by an astronomer at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ has found the first confirmed example of a double star system that has flipped its surrounding disc to a position that leaps over the orbital plane of those stars.
