Following two large meteorite impacts on Mars, researchers have observed, for the first time, seismic waves propagating along the surface of a planet other than Earth. The data from the marsquakes was recorded by NASA’s InSight lander and analysed at ETH Zurich in collaboration with the InSight Science Team, revealing new details about the structure of Mars’ crust.
The team at the University of Bristol’s Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship has been awarded the Higher Education Team Enterprise Award at last night’s National Enterprise Educator Awards (NEEA) held in Leeds.
The University of Bristol has risen 16 places in the THE (Times Higher Education) World University Rankings 2023.
Researchers at the University of Bristol have shown that resident artificial cells abandon their protocell hosts by displaying antagonistic behaviour on receiving a chemical signal.
NASA’s InSight lander recorded a magnitude 4 marsquake on Christmas Eve, 2021, but scientists learned only later from orbiter images the cause of that quake: a meteoroid strike estimated to be one of the biggest seen on Mars since NASA began exploring the cosmos. What’s more, it excavated boulder-sized chunks of water ice buried closer to the Martian equator than ever found before – a discovery that has implications for NASA’s future plans to send astronauts to the Red Planet.
The University has signed the new Bristol Equality Charter, which was launched this week at M Shed.
Scientists have harnessed the potential of bacteria to help build advanced synthetic cells which mimic real life functionality.
Doctors Sumitra Kafle and Navdeep Nath who met while studying medicine at the University of Bristol have introduced a business to advance primary care in Nepal.
Red blood cells that have been grown in a laboratory have now been transfused into another person in a world first clinical trial led by a UK team including University of Bristol researchers.
Young people living with a genetic alteration that increases the risk of psychiatric disorders have markedly different brain activity during sleep, a study led by researchers from the Universities of Bristol and Cardiff published in the journal eLife shows.
