RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT - A simple ‘twist’ improves the engine of clean fuel generation

Researchers have found a way to super-charge the ‘engine’ of sustainable fuel generation – by giving the materials a little twist.

BLOG – Rethinking Low-level Radiation Risks: Linear Non-Threshold Model for radiation and its scientific validity

How do we determine what is a tolerable risk from low-level radiation and how much are we willing to spend on reducing it?

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT - Shimmering seaweeds and algae antennae: sustainable energy solutions under the sea

Research on the interaction of marine organisms with light, including algae, corals and sea slugs explored efficient ways to convert sunlight into energy.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT - Reducing inequality is essential in tackling climate crisis

Promoting climate-friendly behaviours will be more successful in societies where everyone has the capacity: financially, physically, and timewise, to make changes.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT - Diamonds and rust help unveil ‘impossible’ quasi-particles

Researchers have discovered magnetic monopoles – isolated magnetic charges – in a material closely related to rust, a result that could be used to power greener and faster computing technologies.

BLOG - Magnetic Technology for Fusion Energy

Fusion offers a potential as a long-term energy source without the hazards of the long-lived radioactive waste.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT - Machine Learning Lights the Way: Unravelling LED Degradation Mysteries

CEB researchers, led by Professor Sam Stranks and Dr Kangyu Ji have uncovered the secrets behind the degradation of cutting-edge LED technology, paving the way for more durable and long-lasting devices in the future.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT - Custom-built molecules may lead to metal-free, air tolerant batteries

Researchers from the Scherman and Grey research groups demonstrate a path to batteries that do not contain rare metals and are stable in the air.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT - Solar-powered device produces clean water and clean fuel at the same time

A floating, solar-powered device that can turn contaminated water or seawater into clean hydrogen fuel and purified water, anywhere in the world, has been developed by researchers.
