Neural roots/origins of alcoholism identified by British and Chinese researchers
The physical origin of alcohol addiction has been located in a network of the human brain that regulates our response to danger, according to a team of British and Chinese researchers, co-led by the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, the University of Cambridge, and Fudan University in Shanghai.
Chemical clues in leaves can reveal ash tree resistance to deadly disease
Naturally occurring compounds in ash leaves could be linked to susceptibility of individual trees to the fungal disease ash dieback (ADB). But selecting trees with lower levels of these compounds and breeding for resistance could leave the UK ash tree population open to attack from invading insect pests in the future, according to scientists at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV.
WMG and Senergy Innovations Ltd launch graphene enabled all polymer solar thermal cell
Thanks to funding from BEIS (Department for ÌÇÐÄTV, Energy & Industrial Strategy) a team of researchers led by Professor Tony McNally, from WMG, at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV in partnership with Senergy Innovations Ltd have developed the first nanomaterial enabled all polymer solar thermal cell. The thermal properties of the polymers employed are modified such that heat from sunlight can be transferred with high efficiency to heat water in a cheap and sustainable manner.
