Nottingham Trent University Researchers at Nottingham Trent University have developed a new ‘serious games’ approach to rehabilitation that is helping patients overcome the effects of stroke and other disabilities. Many people who suffer a stroke are affected by the loss of functions including memory or muscle control. Stroke rehabilitation is a critical part of recovering […]
Nottingham Trent University Researchers at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) are helping to increase inclusion and educational attainment for different groups of learners. Their work with children with Special Educational Needs, ethnic minorities and those with disabilities has been integrated into guidelines used by local, national and international education authorities, improving the life chances of thousands. […]
Liverpool John Moores University Researchers at Liverpool John Moores University have helped several major companies and SMEs to cut consumption, reduce waste and save costs through optimising and reducing the flow volume of cooling liquids used in abrasive machining. Work and tool temperatures are major issues in abrasive machining. It accounts for an estimated quarter […]
Liverpool John Moores University Liverpool John Moores University’s powerful Liverpool Telescope is pushing the boundaries of scientific research now and in the future, using its world-leading astronomy technology to inspire young people to become the next generation of scientists and engineers. Astronomy continues to revolutionize the way we think about our world, the history of the […]
University of Lincoln The University of Lincoln has developed new medical imaging technology that could revolutionise cancer treatment. The high-clarity images it produces show the impact of radiation on tumours and assist with detecting the disease in the earliest stages and helping to save lives. DynAMITe, the world’s largest radiation-tolerant silicon imager – 200 times […]
University of Lincoln A team of animal behaviour experts at the University of Lincoln are researching how pheromone therapy can encourage desirable behaviour in small animals such as cats and dogs. Their work has helped pheromonatherapy to grow into a multi-million pound global industry. Many of our pets release a chemical pheromone signal into their […]
University of Lincoln New design tools and award-winning sustainable architecture created by researchers at the University of Lincoln are helping the construction industry reduce the massive environmental impact of building. Roughly half of all carbon emissions in the UK come from the use of buildings while the construction process itself is the most energy-hungry of […]
University of Huddersfield A major new partnership with engineering multinational BorgWarner has led to the University of Huddersfield developing a new Institute dedicated to research into turbo-charged engine technologies. Demand for automobiles is rising. So is concern about greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. One way to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels is to […]
University of Huddersfield An advanced new software tool called SURFSTAND, developed by researchers at the University of Huddersfield with international partners, is improving the quality of nanoscale technology and has informed international standards for quality and compliance. A manufactured product’s surface micro-structure affects its performance, quality and service life. Although a surface may appear flat […]
University of Huddersfield Experimental study of the optimal flow of fluid through engineering systems by the University of Huddersfield has transformed braking technology and increased global market sales for their industrial partner. Weir Valves and Control Ltd enjoyed a 75 per cent saving in design lead time and an 1800 per cent increase in annual […]
