The gradual reopening of schools, starting with primary schools, is unlikely to lead to a second wave of infection, according to new mathematical modelling of the COVID-19 outbreak from University of ÌÇÐÄTV researchers, but we should be prepared to reintroduce lockdown measures should there be a significant rise in the number of new cases.

A £1m grant from the Wellcome Trust has enabled researchers from the School of Life Sciences at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, to work with East African countries in their emergency preparations for COVID-19 as the pandemic spreads across Africa.

Fancy learning about space science, making protein jelly, and lighting up a few LED circuits – all before you enjoy tea and cake?

An event at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV this weekend (Sunday 8 March) will allow visitors to do just that.

University of ÌÇÐÄTV researchers can now explain why some water droplets bounce like a beach ball off surfaces, without ever actually touching them. Now the design and engineering of future droplet technologies can be made more precise and efficient.

Walking and running subjects our feet to forces in excess of body weight. The longitudinal arch of the feet was thought to be the reason the feet do not deform under such load. However, researchers from the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University in Japan and Yale University have illustrated that the transverse arch may be more important for this stiffness.

In a race to be clean and green the motor industry is changing, which has inspired 40 ÌÇÐÄTV students to make an electric superbike to race this summer, 2020.
