Two University of Nottingham physicists have received a prestigious award for their groundbreaking research into the development of a portable brain-imaging system.

The University of Nottingham is one of five universities to share a £2.5 million pot to create ‘next-gen’ degree designs that connect foundational mathematics to key applications in an increasingly AI and data driven world.

Two scientists from the University of Nottingham have been recognised for their research achievements with a Royal Society Award.

A groundbreaking project to revolutionise pharmaceutical manufacturing has been awarded £1.8 million by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).

A team of researchers at the University of Nottingham have developed new AI tools to encourage chemists and chemical engineers to make their processes more sustainable.

Mealworms need a minimum level of protein to grow and become a sustainable food source, according to a new study that challenges the myth that insects have superpowers of taking plastic waste and converting it to a nutritionally valuable product.

A new study has revealed large differences in attitudes towards various types of drugs, with a growing acceptance of psychedelics and strong negative feelings towards more traditional illicit drugs.

Scientists have discovered a rapid molecular switch in plant roots that allows them to detect dry soils and redirect root growth to find water. This discovery could help in developing drought-resilient crops and addressing future food security challenges.

New research has revealed that learning how to recall multiplication tables doesn’t automatically mean children understand how to apply this knowledge and that different methods of practice can be equally helpful for recall of multiplication facts. The findings could be used to support children’s mathematics learning at school and at home.

A trio of Nottingham professors have been recognised for their contributions to sustainable chemistry with an award from the European Chemical Society (EuChemS).
