Researchers here have developed a floating, solar-powered device that can turn contaminated water or seawater into clean hydrogen fuel and purified water, anywhere in the world

Scientists here have developed a system to modify naturally occurring proteins in a biological environment for the first time, opening a path to new therapies for illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease and cancer.

We are saddened to announce that Emeritus Professor of Physical Chemistry Brian Thrush died peacefully on 14 September after a long illness.

Researchers have been able to observe and measure tau aggregates replicating in cells for the first time, in a key process that underpins the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
