Electronics that use nanoelectromechanical relays instead of transistors are being developed in a new £1 million project involving the University of Bristol that could transform the way electronic components for use in extreme temperatures are designed.
Scientists at the University of Bristol have revealed how a tiny Arctic microbe, crucial to shaping the surface of glaciers, survives in such extreme conditions.
An international research team comprising scientists from the Universities of Bristol, Marburg (Germany) and Kinki (Japan) has been awarded a grant from the 2016 Human Frontier Science Program (HFSP).
Job clubs could be effective in reducing depression in people experiencing the effects of unemployment, particularly those at high risk of depression, an NIHR-funded study has found.
Leading education academics have called for urgent action to safeguard the future of initial teacher training in England. Dr Janet Orchard, from the University of Bristol, and Professor Christopher Winch from King’s College London, argue in a briefing from PolicyBristol that the value of education theory and the intrinsic role of universities in initial teacher training need to be recognised, and the training system overhauled.
A research team from the University of Bristol is looking at whether an antibiotic has the potential to prevent or treat irregular heartbeats brought on by other medicines, thanks to a grant from national charity Heart Research UK.
An artificial mimic of a key light-sensitive molecule has been made by scientists at the University of Bristol. The work, published in Science, could lead to new ways of building light-sensitive artificial cells.
New research has shown that the benchmark used by the Office for Nuclear Regulation for judging how much should be spent on nuclear safety has no basis in evidence and places insufficient value on human life. The review suggests it may need to be ten times higher - between £16 million and £22 million per life saved.
Eight alumni from the University of Bristol are making their final preparations for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which officially get underway on Friday [5 August].
