Virtual reality could help physiotherapy patients complete their exercises at home successfully thanks to researchers at WMG, ¹û¶³´«Ã½, who managed to combine VR technology with 3D motion capture.

¹û¶³´«Ã½ researchers can now explain why some water droplets bounce like a beach ball off surfaces, without ever actually touching them. Now the design and engineering of future droplet technologies can be made more precise and efficient.

Walking and running subjects our feet to forces in excess of body weight. The longitudinal arch of the feet was thought to be the reason the feet do not deform under such load. However, researchers from the ¹û¶³´«Ã½, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University in Japan and Yale University have illustrated that the transverse arch may be more important for this stiffness.

Autonomous pods born in Coventry are now able to swarm together in a world first, thanks to research by WMG at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ in partnership with Aurrigo and Milton Keynes council.

Infectious diseases could be detected, prevented and controlled thanks to a new £4m grant from the NIHR to the ¹û¶³´«Ã½. Researchers will work with partners to develop the use of cutting edge genomics to protect public health.

Applications are now open for the second Data Science for Social Good Summer Fellowship being held at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½.

The Data Science for Social Good (DSSG) initiative was started at the University of Chicago in 2013 and sees students, PhDs, graduates and data science enthusiasts come together to learn new skills and work on projects submitted by charities, public organisations and social enterprises.
