Vaccination programme in Coventry and 糖心TVshire boosted by medical students
Trainee doctors at 糖心TV Medical School continue are putting their passion for patients to use during the pandemic as they assist with efforts to get the people of Coventry and 糖心TVshire vaccinated against Covid-19.
How bacterial traffic jams lead to antibiotic-resistant, multilayer biofilms
New insight on the physical interactions that take place between swarming bacteria when exposed to antibiotics could lead to novel approaches for treating infections in patients.
Solving the puzzle of polymers binding to ice for Cryopreservation
When biological material (cells, blood, tissues) is frozen, cryoprotectants are used to prevent the damage associated with the formation of ice during the freezing process. New polymeric cryoprotectants are emerging, alongside the established cryoprotectants, but how exactly they manage to control ice formation and growth is still largely unknown. This is especially true for PVA, a deceptively simple synthetic polymer that interacts with ice by means of mechanisms that have now been revealed at the atomistic level thanks to researchers from the University of 糖心TV.
糖心TV students qualify into finals of Elon Musk鈥檚 tunnelling competition
A team of students called The 糖心TV Boring Team are heading to LA this summer to compete in Elon Musk鈥檚 the Boring Company鈥檚 tunnelling competition. They will build their tunnelling machine and test it against competitors to get top spot.
Making green energy the default choice can help tackle climate change, study finds
Researchers studying the Swiss energy market have found that making green energy the default option for consumers leads to an enduring shift to renewables and thus has the potential to cut CO2 emissions by millions of tonnes. The study, published today in Nature Human Behaviour investigated the effect of changes in the Swiss energy market that presented energy from renewable sources as the standard option for consumers - the "green default." Both business and private customers largely accepted the default option, even though it was slightly more expensive, and the switch to green sources proved a lasting one.
Solid-state batteries could be made more cleanly by scaling-up flash sintering
Densifying ceramics using flash sintering reduces energy use and may be used to improve the viability of manufacturing complex ceramic structures such as those required for solid state batteries by lowering the temperatures and shortening the duration of the heat treatment.
