The representation of sport in visual culture is the subject of a new collection of essays, edited by art historian Dr Mike O'Mahony of the University of Bristol and Professor Mike Huggins of the University of Cumbria.
Ticks may be common in parks in and around our cities where they pose a risk for humans and their pets, new research from the University of Bristol has found.
Inventiveness in the naming of babies in the United States suddenly increased in the late 1980s, having changed little during the previous hundred years. A new study from the Universities of Bristol and Durham considers what this tells us about the competing forces at work in popular culture: globalization and local innovation.
A specialized camera that allows scientists to see as reef-dwelling animals do has been built by a team of researchers at the University of Bristol. The team will travel to Lizard Island off the coast of Queensland this year to capture images of the Great Barrier Reef which they hope will provide new insight into this underwater world.
New research from the University of Bristol may disprove a long-standing conjecture made by one of the founders of quantum information science: that quantum states featuring ‘positive partial transpose’, a particular symmetry under time-reversal, can never lead to nonlocality.
School students who take their GCSEs during a major international football tournament – such as the FIFA World Cup or the UEFA European Championship – get worse exam results than they would in a football-free summer. That is the central finding of new research published by the University of Bristol.
Earlier this year, a team of scientists, led by Professor Julian Eastoe in the University of Bristol’s School of Chemistry, announced they had created a liquid surfactant (soap) that could be moved by a magnet. This work meant that surfactants could be directed towards specific points or removed from a mixture just by applying a magnet.
Dr Simon O’Doherty of the University of Bristol’s School of Chemistry has been awarded €500,000 as part of InGOS, a European project to monitor emissions of methane, nitrous oxide and other non-CO2 greenhouse gases and improve the observational infrastructure.
Daniel Karlin, Winterstoke Professor of English Literature at the University of Bristol has recently had his contribution to a multi-volume edition of the poetry of Robert Browning (1812-89) published in the prestigious Longman Annotated English Poets series.
Current rates of ocean acidification are unparalleled in Earth’s history, according to new research from an international team of scientists which compiled all the evidence of global warming and acidifying oceans from the past 300 million years.
