A new technique for 3D printing medication has enabled the printing of multiple drugs in a single tablet, paving the way for personalised pills that can deliver timed doses.

Would you trust a robot to look after your cat? New research suggests it takes more than a carefully designed robot to care for your cat, the environment in which they operate is also vital, as well as human interaction.

A team of interdisciplinary researchers will create and test the first ‘digital twin’ heart models for a group of chronically ill NHS patients, to find out if they provide better monitoring and ultimately better care.

The University of Nottingham has announced that they have selected the suppliers they will work with to design and build the UK’s most powerful magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, that will give researchers and doctors unprecedented insights into brain function and the mechanisms of human disease.

The warming climate shifts the dynamics of tundra environments and makes them release trapped carbon, these changes could transform tundra areas from carbon sinks into a carbon source, worsening the effects of climate change.

Scientists and engineers have developed a new coating for plastic particles that are used in 3D printing, which significantly increases their functionality and opens up new possibilities for commercial application.

Scientists have found a way to transform metal waste into a highly efficient catalyst to make hydrogen from water, a discovery that could make hydrogen production more sustainable.

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have created an endoscopic device that can 3D image the stiffness of individual biological cells and complex organisms, a discovery that could help doctors discover and treat cancer earlier.

A new study has shown that people modify their behaviour to accommodate autonomous delivery robots, and it is this invisible ‘human work’ that allows robots to run smoothly on the streets and needs to be considered when designing their routes.

Researchers have successfully transformed CO2 into methanol by shining sunlight on single atoms of copper deposited on a light-activated material, a discovery that paves the way for creating new green fuels.
