How Bristol drones could help save our most endangered species21 January 2020The University of Bristol and the Bristol Zoological Society (BZS) are pioneering a new approach to wildlife conservation, involving machine-learning and drone technology, which could impact wildlife conservation projects worldwide.
Researchers find drug used widely to treat eye condition has 'no benefit' 24 January 2020Researchers from the University of Bristol and University Hospital Southampton have found that a drug used widely to treat a common eye condition has “no benefit” and should no longer be used.
Eplerenone, which is primarily used to treat heart failure, is currently offered widely by ophthalmologists as a treatment for central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) based on limited clinical data.
Brilliant iridescence can conceal as well as attract23 January 2020A new study shows for the first time that the striking iridescent colours seen in some animals increase their chances of survival against predators by acting as a means of camouflage. Rather than reveal it seems these dynamically changing shades are used to conceal, according to the University of Bristol study published today [23 January] in Current Biology.
Domestic violence programme shown to reduce physical abuse by 82 per cent22 January 2020The government is being urged to set up domestic violence prevention programmes targeting offenders alongside victims. It follows the success of a pilot intervention project, evaluated by the University of Bristol, which led to a sustained reduction in abuse.

New research could reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death20 January 2020New research has shown that by changing the time course of voltage change early when the heart cell contracts it is possible to both withhold a potentially lethal electrical disturbance and improve the strength of cardiac contraction in heart failure at the same time.
A chronicle of giant straight-tusked elephants20 January 2020About 800,000 years ago, the giant straight-tusked elephant Palaeoloxodon migrated out of Africa and became widespread across Europe and Asia.
XMM-Newton uses light echoes to map dynamic black hole 20 January 2020Material falling into a black hole throws X-rays out into space – and now, for the first time, the European Space Agency’s (ESA) XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has used the reverberating echoes of this light to map the dynamic behaviour and surroundings of a black hole itself.
