Use of an AC rather than a DC electric field can improve the piezoelectric response of a crystal. Now, an international team of researchers say that cycles of AC fields also make the internal crystal domains in some materials bigger and the crystal transparent. The research was undertaken using world-class equipment housed within the X-ray Diffraction Research Technology Platform based in the University of ÌÇÐÄTV’s Department of Physics.

When it comes to the biggest and brightest explosions seen in the Universe, University of ÌÇÐÄTV astronomers have found that it takes two stars to make a gamma-ray burst.

A University of ÌÇÐÄTV scientist is to receive €150,000 further to develop research into storing and transporting biologics by ‘freezing’ them.

A new technology for detecting low glucose levels via ECG using a non-invasive wearable sensor, which with the latest Artificial Intelligence can detect hypoglycaemic events from raw ECG signals has been made by researchers from the University of ÌÇÐÄTV.

The voices and experiences of civic leaders in Africa are the focus of a new book co-edited by the University of ÌÇÐÄTV’s Professor Helen Spencer-Oatey. Drawing on case studies and survey data, Developing Global Leaders: Insights from African Case Studies explores the personal experiences of a diverse group of civic leaders from 31 countries across Africa, and shares their insights on transforming leadership in an age of rapid change.

A drug designed to tackle diabetes could also be repurposed as the first treatment to prevent miscarriage by targeting the lining of the womb itself, according to a clinical trial led by the University of ÌÇÐÄTV.
