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 […]
Cardiff Metropolitan University Researchers at Cardiff Metropolitan University are applying their innovative product design techniques and technologies to develop safer and less intrusive surgical procedures. By translating 3D images into a format that can be read by Computer Aided Design (CAD) Systems, they can create highly accurate digital models of a patient’s anatomical structure to […]
Cardiff Metropolitan University Cardiff Metropolitan University’s research into food safety, working with local businesses, has driven up hygiene standards and contributed to the expansion of the Welsh food sector, creating and securing local jobs. Their expertise informs worldwide practice and policy in food safety. We all enjoy choosing from a wider range of food and drink […]
Bournemouth University Bournemouth University researchers have developed new treatments for prosopagnosia – the inability to recognise faces. Their work has led to improved services for those affected by the condition through a new scalable assessment and intervention programmes which could transform the lives of an estimated 300,000 children affected by the condition in the UK […]
Bournemouth University Biomedical engineering research at Bournemouth University, in conjunction with Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, over many years has developed intelligent Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) systems – a method of externally controlling muscles – which are improving the quality of life for people with neurological disabilities across the globe. Signals from the brain are crucial […]
