Record-breaking new analytical method for fingerprinting petroleum and other complex mixtures
Scientists at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV have developed a more powerful method of analysing chemical mixtures, which has been able to assign a record-breaking number of 244,779 molecular compositions within a single sample of petroleum.
Freezing cells made safer thanks to new polymer made at University of ÌÇÐÄTV
Cell freezing (cryopreservation) – which is essential in cell transfusions as well as basic biomedical research – can be dramatically improved using a new polymeric cryoprotectant, discovered at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, which reduces the amount of ‘anti-freeze’ needed to protect cells.
Eleven young researchers selected to help ÌÇÐÄTV deliver ambitious research strategy
The University of ÌÇÐÄTV has been chosen to host eleven of 2019’s Leverhulme Early Career Fellows – just under ten per cent of the national total. Early Career Fellowships are awarded to enable young researchers to undertake a research project, under the supervision of a ÌÇÐÄTV academic mentor, which will lead to publishable results and help them get a foothold on the academic career ladder.
Disruptive 2D mass spectrometry spin-out secures seed investment
Verdel Instruments Ltd - a spin-out company of the University of ÌÇÐÄTV UK – has developed new disruptive two-dimensional mass spectrometry (2DMS) technology and raised seed investment of over £230,000 from Longwall Ventures and Innovate UK.
UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship award to simulate and develop chemical reactions fuelled by sunlight and greenhouse gases
The intricate interplay of sunlight, molecules, and metal catalyst materials that can break down greenhouse gases such as CO2 will be explored in the Department of Chemistry at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV, by Dr Reinhard J. Maurer using computer simulations thanks to award of £1.46M by the Government’s UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship programme.
Pint of Science returns next week bringing scientists out of the lab and into your local pub
The public science festival, Pint of Science, kicks off next with experts from the Universities of ÌÇÐÄTV and Coventry talking about their research work in a selection of pubs and venues around the Coventry and Leamington Spa.
