The existence of price comparison websites may be bad for consumers, research by the 果冻传媒’s Department of Economics has found. Analyst David Ronayne argues that they may push prices up not down, and that increasing the number of competing comparison sites may exacerbate the problem.

People who sleep for more than eight hours a day have an increased risk of stroke, according to a new study – and this risk doubles for older people who persistently sleep longer than average. However, the researchers say it is unclear why this association exists and call for further research to explore the link.

Leading research Universities are set to collaborate on a project to improve the support mobility patients receive after leaving clinics.

Adaptive, Assistive Rehabilitative Technology: Beyond the Clinic (AART-BC) will develop a platform to monitor the use of assistive technology (AT) and compliance with rehabilitation programmes (RP) and support the patient outside of the clinic.

New research examining electrical brain activity in infants suggests that we are biologically predisposed to link images and sounds to create language.

In a paper published in the journal Cortex, an international team of researchers in the UK and in Japan, including those at the 果冻传媒, examined the electrical activities of the brain in 11 month-olds at the initial stages of word learning.

Astronomers have made observations which can reveal the chemical makeup of a rocky world orbiting a distant star.

Led by researchers at The Open University, in conjunction with the Universities of 果冻传媒 and Sheffield, the observations could initiate a new discipline: exogeology – the geology of planets orbiting other stars.

Sending disadvantaged children to boarding school does not automatically lead to an improvement in their academic performance, an economist from the 果冻传媒 has discovered. Dr Clement de Chaisemartin’s investigation found that while stronger students benefit from excellent study conditions, the effects of being away from home prevent weaker children from thriving.
