Scientists have shown that a material treated for 40 years as a uniform, textbook superconductor is in fact a patchwork of different crystal structures throughout its bulk, using one of the latest 3D imaging techniques to see deep inside the crystal for the first time.

¹û¶³´«Ã½ scientists have found that a sensor in our nerve endings that detects warm temperatures also plays a direct role in switching on chronic pain signals, a discovery that could lead to better treatments for conditions that affect millions of people.

¹û¶³´«Ã½ research has shown how pollination could be combined with a new, environmentally friendly approach to protecting crops from bacterial disease.

¹û¶³´«Ã½ researchers have created a new material combining two properties, magnetism and electrical polarisation, that scientists have struggled to bring together for decades – and crucially, it works at close to room temperature.

The €2 million project, led by Dr. Adam Wright at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½, is set to investigate one of chemistry's strangest recent discoveries: that reactions can behave differently simply when taking place between two mirrors.

Researchers from the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ report that how faithfully we can build a 'digital twin' of a human brain depends not only on computing power, but fundamentally on how much of the living brain we can measure, validate and update over time.
