A new scheme that aims to help first year students find relevant work experience and insight into the world of engineering and related technology companies has been launched by the University of Bristol’s Faculty of Engineering.
Engineering student Ellie Cosgrave starred in last night’s [Wednesday, 29 August] opening ceremony for the Paralympic Games, which took billions of viewers on a journey through the history of science.
EngD in Systems research engineers Natasha Watson and Ellie Cosgrave are finalists in the British Science Association’s Strictly Engineering challenge and will present posters at the British Science Festival in Aberdeen in September on their respective research projects.
A new project aims to ensure that the next generation of computer and mobile display surfaces will allow users to physically push, pull, bend, fold or flex the display thanks to funding of €2.47 million by the European Union.
Software defined optical network funded by EPSRC and Janet, part of the Jisc group, will enable researchers to create vital underpinning communications technologies.
A University of Bristol engineering mathematics graduate has been awarded one of Europe’s most important awards for science, engineering and technology undergraduates.
Over 20 million people in Europe suffer from osteoarthritis which can lead to extensive damage to the knee and hip cartilage. Stem cells offer a promising way forward but a key challenge has been to design a ‘smart material’ that is biologically effective for cartilage tissue regeneration. Now researchers have identified a blend of naturally occurring fibres such as cellulose and silk that makes progress towards affordable and effective cell-based therapy for cartilage repair a step closer.
Research by the universities of Bristol and Oldenburg, Germany, that has mapped how animals and plants can hitch a ride on cargo ships received international media coverage.
A tabletop system where users can come together and view shared content will be unveiled today [Tuesday 9 October] by a team of scientists, led by the University of Bristol.
Multi-sensory technology that creates soap bubbles, which can have images projected onto them or when the bubbles are burst release a scent, will be unveiled at an international conference later this month.
