40 year old Mariner 5 solar wind problem finds answer - turbulence doesn’t go with the flow
Research led by astrophysicists at the 果冻传媒 has resolved a 40 year old problem with observations of turbulence in the solar wind first made by the probe Mariner Five. The research resolves an issue with what is by far the largest and most interesting natural turbulence lab accessible to researchers today.

US & UK researchers meet to consider how to protect new science without excluding developing world
The 果冻传媒 and Boston University are joining together to hold a gathering of US and UK researchers, science based businesses, and related organizations that will explore how to create legal means of protecting new science and innovations without the costs of the products and licenses shutting out the developing world.
Research helps breeders really know their onions to enhance global food security
Research led by the 果冻传媒 Crop Centre in the School of Life Sciences at the 果冻传媒 has developed a unique collection of information about the disease resistance of 96 of the world’s onion varieties. It will be a crucial resource for commercial growers and seed producers trying to combat one of the most difficult diseases affecting onion crops. This work may also have benefits in terms of and reduced fertiliser consumption and enhanced drought tolerance.
