CEB Lab secures multimillion grant for renewable technology research
Professor Sam Stranks and his team have secured a €3 million ERC Consolidator Grant for the VAPOURISE project, developing high-efficiency perovskite semiconductors for sustainable energy and quantum technology.
Simple test to detect cancer and save countless lives
Imagine if a simple urine test could detect cancer in its earliest stages. Our researchers, led by Prof Ljiljana Fruk, have made this a reality with a breakthrough method, supported by Cancer Research UK, that could save countless lives by catching lung cancer earlier, when treatment is most effective.
Paula Moreno-Mendoza and George Fulham have devised a method to make liquid hydrogen production more efficient, enabling cleaner aviation with contrail-free emissions and reduced environmental impact.
Unearthing the unexpected and explosive impacts of climate change
Massive craters have been appearing in the rural tundra of Siberia’s Yamal Peninsula, some up to 70 metres across, seemingly without explanation. These strange gouges in the landscape prompted concern from the scientific community and had no obvious cause.
Samuel McDermott highlights the vital contributions of LGBTQ+ scientists, the challenges they face, and the importance of fostering inclusive, supportive environments in STEM and academia.
Tom Bacon OBE, FRS, developed the fuel cell that provided secondary power for the Apollo Missions, including Apollo 11 which landed the first man on the moon.
CEB at heart of new EU-funded programme to train future synthetic cell scientists
A new EU-funded initiative is aiming to empower the next generation of synthetic cell scientists, with our department placed right at the heart of the project. This program, uniting 13 European institutions, will provide 17 PhD students with interdisciplinary training, fostering breakthroughs in synthetic cell technology...
Research paper from Professor Sam Stranks' team at CEB reveals crucial insights for boosting performance and stability of perovskite solar cells as green tech begins to gain market traction.
Collaboration between British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the department looks to uncover knowledge of how life operates at sub-zero temperatures, with implications from biology to climate change.
