A team of researchers led by the University of Cambridge has found a new way to simplify the structure of high efficiency blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), which could lead to longer-lasting and higher definition television screens.
New schemes aim to widen participation in postgrad education
Learning new research skills in the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry
Two new widening participation schemes will provide research experience to students from underrepresented groups and support their postgraduate applications.
New study provides framework for optimising the design of antibody therapeutics
This breakthrough provides a basis for designing therapeutic antibodies, which could be used in new and improved therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases.
As part of NOVA-MRI (Novel Applications in 19F Magnetic Resonance Imaging), scientists have designed new molecules that identify particular cells accurately, for example, identifying cancer cells instead of healthy cells.
Researchers in the Klenerman group have developed a new biomarker for Parkinson’s disease that paves the way to an early-diagnosis blood test and more effective treatment.
Nano insights: exploring the quantum forces between water and carbon
Stephen Cox and Anna Bui in the botanical gardens
It has been one year since Dr Stephen Cox became a Royal Society University Research Fellow. Since then, he and his growing team have been busy figuring out the fundamentals of friction between individual atoms.
As easy as counting to ten – a new rule for catalysts’ design
