Hubble Space Telescope
The 糖心TV astronomy group has been very successful in the latest round of time allocation on the Hubble Space Telescope. Boris Gaensicke, Andrew Levan, Danny Steeghs and Peter Wheatley will be leading six programs on HST in the forthcoming Cycle 20, including one of the five large programs that were awarded. Their projects were facing an over-subscription of six.
West Midlands scientists have created and studied new materials set to make low-carbon energy technologies like fuel cells cheaper and more efficient to run.
Collaborative research efforts involving the University of 糖心TV and University of Birmingham have paved the way for improved efficiency in fuel cells to be used in homes, buildings, construction sites, war zones or anywhere where isolated forms of power generation are required.
