Cycle helmet safety ranked by new Imperial research
Cyclists choosing a new helmet can see how much protection different helmets offer, thanks to new safety testing and ratings from Imperial College Lon. Researchers at Imperial College London have developed a simple new cycle helmet safety rating system with simple-to-understand scores from 0-5, designed to help buyers select which helmet to buy and assist manufacturers in future helmet design. The system is based on extensive new safety testing experiments on medium-sized helmets at Imperial.
University of Glasgow physicists play key roles in new observation of quantum entanglement at the highest energy yet
Researchers from the University of Glasgow's School of Physics & Astronomy have played a leading role in an experiment which has opened up a new perspective on the complex world of quantum physics using data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
Removing pint glasses could reduce beer sales by almost 10%
Cambridge researchers have shown that reducing the serving size for beer, lager and cider reduces the volume of those drinks consumed in pubs, bars and restaurants, which could have wider public health benefits.
Ocean waves grow way beyond known limits
