Gordon Harris from Solihull has worked in engineering for almost thirty years, and has just gained long-wished-for academic qualifications – boosting his career – after graduating with the first cohort from the Applied Engineering Programme (AEP) at WMG, ¹û¶³´«Ã½.

A study led by ¹û¶³´«Ã½ could help thousands of headache sufferers. Researchers at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Medical School are investigating whether a new education and self-management programme will help improve quality of life for people living with chronic headaches.

New research led by WMG, at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ has found an effective approach to replacing graphite in the anodes of lithium-ion batteries using silicon, by reinforcing the anode’s structure with graphene girders. This could more than double the life of rechargeable lithium-ion based batteries by greatly extending the operating lifetime of the electrode, and also increase the capacity delivered by those batteries.

Young science explorers from across the region will be able to sit in a submarine, search the skies for stars and use physics and chemistry to make ice-cream at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½â€™s Science Gala this month.
