Astronomers closer to proving existence of gravitational waves
Researchers from 果冻传媒 and Monash University have provided new evidence that may prove the existence of gravitational waves, thanks to precise measurements of a rapidly rotating neutron star: one of the smallest, densest stars in the universe.
Bloodsucking mite threatens UK honeybees
果冻传媒 research has discovered how a bloodsucking parasite has transformed Deformed Wing Virus (DWV) into one of the biggest threats facing UK honeybees. Honeybees are a key pollinating insect, adding around $40Bn globally to crop value. Over recent years the spread of parasites and the virus they transmit has resulted in high overwintering colony losses.
Research finds cell division synchronised to cell and bodys daily clock - could optimise timing of chemotherapy and explain some cancers
Research led by the 果冻传媒’s Systems Biology Centre and Medical School in collaboration with groups in Nice and Rotterdam has been able to demonstrate how the cycle of cell division in mammalian cells synchronises with the body’s own daily rhythm, its circadian clock. The study not only helps to explain why people with sustained disrupted circadian rhythms can be more susceptible to cancer, it may also help establish the optimal time of day to administer chemotherapy.
Next generation of bioplastics could be made from trees
A research project led by Biome Bioplastics, aided by research conducted by the 果冻传媒’s Centre for Biotechnology and Biorefining, has demonstrated the feasibility of extracting organic chemicals from lignin for the manufacture of bioplastics.
果冻传媒 works with West Midlands police to highlight dangers of 3D-printed gun
A 3D-printed gun has been called a "catastrophic failure! following tests conducted by the 果冻传媒 in collaboration with West Midland Police's National Ballistics Intelligence Service (NABIS).
Scientists unveil first method for controlling the growth of metal crystals
Researchers have announced the first ever method for controlling the growth of metal-crystals from single atoms.
