A 'smart pillow' which enables people to access digital content at bedtime without looking at screens could help cut down on problematic evening smartphone use, its inventors say. Computing scientists at the University of Glasgow have built the prototype device, which builds a speaker and tactile sensors into an ordinary pillow.

A tool originally designed to monitor the erosion of Scotland's coast has proven its worth on a tropical island the other side of the world.

UCL has announced a new collaboration with Tech Mahindra, a leading global provider of technology consulting and digital solutions to enterprises across industries, to advance joint research in generative AI, quantum computing and next generation digital technologies.

The four-day UCL AI Festival brought together students, researchers and entrepreneurs to explore cutting-edge research and real-world applications across healthcare, climate, quantum computing, robotics and more.

A UCL-led team will receive £19.5 million over five years to provide a powerful, high-speed computing resource for researchers across the UK in areas ranging from medicine to engineering to history.

A new research centre based at the University of Glasgow is setting out to develop the 'cognitive' cities of the future which will revolutionise urban life. The Centre for Integrated Sensing and Communication Enabling Cognitive Cities , or ISAC³, aims to harness the vast amounts of data which will be gathered by 6G communications technologies to create cities which are healthier, safer and more sustainable for residents.
