A new study has revealed the clearest-ever picture of the surface chemistry of worm species that provides groundbreaking insights into how animals interact with their environment and each other. These discoveries could pave the way for strategies to deepen our understanding of evolutionary adaptations, refine behavioural research, and ultimately overcome parasitic infections.

Researchers have developed a sustainable catalyst that increases its activity during use while converting carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable products. This discovery offers a blueprint for designing next-generation electrocatalysts.

Government must ensure that tech companies accurately report how much energy and water their data centres are using, according to a report published today. Data centres can and should be designed to use less water and critical raw materials, but government must set the conditions for this as the AI Opportunities Action Plan is rolled out.

Technical resources for the brewing sector have been given a boost by the combining of two of the UK’s leading resources of brewing education and support.

Research into how quantum technologies can be used to track brain function has received a funding boost.

Researchers in the Division of Food, Nutrition and Dietetics at the University of Nottingham have been awarded funding to develop the next generation of plant-based protein products.

Experts from the University of Nottingham are part of the first phase of a new research project that will lay the groundwork for future studies into the impact on children of smartphone and social media use.

A new study to examine farm household income and reliance on government subsidies has received funding and will help inform policy makers on the realities of farm finances.

Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access deeper water reserves.

Scientists have created a catalyst for hydrogen generation from ammonia that becomes more active with time, and by counting atoms revealed changes that boost the catalyst’s performance.
