…ently. Nottingham Trent University is working on the world’s first ‘scatter-enhanced’ 3D x-ray security scanner to identify contraband substances. The hi-tech equipment combines a novel x-ray diffraction technique with high-resolution 3D x-ray imaging capability to create an impression of an object’s depth, partially rotate it, and even see around or behind it. The system will speed up security checks and reduce false alarms. Experts in the Univer…

…niversity and Nottingham Trent University show that treating students as co-researchers supports student engagement within and beyond the formal curriculum, furthering knowledge and understanding, and in some cases contributing to the broader discipline. Such an approach can also increase student satisfaction, creating a sense of belonging to an institutional and/or disciplinary research culture and developing intellectual curiosity as well as res…
