AI and big data roadmap could enable superconductor revolution
A new roadmap which lays out how AI and big data techniques could drive advances in superconductivity research and development is aiming to help to spark a tech revolution. An international team of leading engineers, physicists and computing scientists are behind the roadmap, which is the first of its kind for the field of superconductor research.

Opinion: Driverless cars - what we’ve learned from experiments in San Francisco and Phoenix
As "driverless" car companies seek to expand testing, Professor Jack Stilgoe (UCL Science & Technology Studies) takes a look in The Conversation at how tests in San Francisco and Phoenix caused friction within the communities, and how cities might adapt to their widespread use.

Monkey mouths and hands could be key to future interactive enrichment systems
Researchers from a Scottish university have teamed up with monkeys to learn more about how animals prefer to use interactive systems. The researchers, from the University of Glasgow, found that white-faced saki monkeys at Korkeasaari Zoo in Helsinki preferred to use their mouths, teeth and hands to pull switches and swing panels from side to side.

Clinical trial launches for new schizophrenia drug
A potential new treatment for schizophrenia developed by Cardiff University's Medicines Discovery Institute is entering the first phase of a clinical trial. The drug - MDI-26478 - is designed to target specific receptors that play a key role in brain health. Cognitive decline is a core element of schizophrenia and current treatments fail to treat this effectively.

Climate change is hitting the hardest in the world's mountain ranges. We learn how Leeds glaciologist Professor Duncan Quincey is helping locals at the world's highest glacier.
Research captures and separates important toxic air pollutant
Led by scientists at The University of Manchester , a series of new stable, porous materials that capture and separate benzene have been developed. Benzene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) and is an important feedstock for the production of many fine chemicals, including cyclohexane. But, it also poses a serious health threat to humans when it escapes into the air and is thus regarded as an important air pollutant.

Twelve hospitals across country will be part of the network which will support the trial in India Cancer surgery experts today launched a network of hospitals across India to support a country-wide clinical trial exploring how giving colon cancer patients chemotherapy before surgery cuts their risk of the disease coming back.
A new exhibition at the Freud Museum London and accompanying digital archive bring rarely seen antiquities from Sigmund Freud's extensive collection into dialogue with his key theories, co-curated by UCL Professor Miriam Leonard.
Dr Christos Bechlivanidis (Psychology & Language Sciences), with colleagues, writes in The Conversation that presumptions that misinformation leads to bad behaviour isn't empirically supported, and the real relationship between beliefs and behaviour is more complex. "So far as the influence of the newspaper upon the mind and morals of the people is concerned, there can be no rational doubt that the telegraph has caused vast injury." So said the The New York Times in 1858, when the transatlantic cable linking North America and Europe was completed.
’Antisocial’ damselfish are scaring off cleaner fish customers - and this could contribute to coral reef breakdown
Damselfish have been discovered to disrupt -cleaning services- vital to the health of reefs. And climate change may mean this is only likely to get worse.

Imperial experts are calling for more to be done to limit the potentially harmful impact of toxic tyre particles on health and the environment. The researchers, from Imperial College London's Transition to Zero Pollution initiative, warn that even though electric vehicles remove the problem of fuel emissions, we will continue to have a problem with particulate matter because of tyre wear.

Quantum Motion, a quantum computing spinout led by researchers from UCL and Oxford University, has raised more than £42 million from investors to help develop silicon quantum processors from the laboratory to industrial applications.
Juries convict defendants for rape more often than acquit
Once a rape case reaches court, juries in England and Wales are more likely to convict than acquit a defendant, and this has been the case for at least 15 years, according to a large-scale analysis of all jury verdicts by UCL's Professor Cheryl Thomas. The paper also found that the jury conviction rate for rape is increasing alongside an increase in jury verdicts in rape cases.
