The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) collaboration involving UCL researchers has achieved a new record in its search for dark matter and for the first time picked up signals from neutrinos produced in the Sun's core, a milestone in sensitivity. Analysing data from the world's most sensitive dark matter detector collected over 417 days, the international research team put the best-ever limits on weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for what makes up our universe's invisible mass.

The trial will assess the safety and immune response of the ChAdOx1 NipahB vaccine, developed by scientists from Oxford's  Pandemic Sciences Institute (PSI) , in a region where the virus causes recurrent outbreaks.

A major new global study led by a researcher at The University of Manchester has found that younger generations around the world are embracing a more diverse and fluid understanding of sexual identity than ever before.

Alexis Stones (UCL Institute of Education) writes in The Conversation about how Lego exercises can be a powerful educational tool in helping young people open up about their personal identities as well as their worldviews.

Writing for The Conversation, PhD candidate Wanda Bodnar (UCL Geography) explains how conservation and environmental efforts are restoring life to the once "biologically dead" River Thames.

PhD candidate Raafiah Mussa (UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology) explores the many challenges stroke survivors face in her article for The Conversation.

A comprehensive analysis of 383 U.S. cities reveals a striking pattern: most have rings of isolation in suburban areas and segregated pockets of near the urban core, that are shaped by race, wealth, and proximity to downtown, finds a new study by UCL researchers. Published in Nature Cities , the paper analyses the daily movements of people in cities right across America and found common patterns prevalent in every city analysed.

When ocean waves break, they release energy and can damage coasts - but are hard to predict. Using AI, Manchester researchers discovered a new equation that explains this process, improving offshore engineering and climate forecasting.

Two new studies have found that people affected by the 2017 Manchester Arena terrorist attack showed improvement in mental health after engaging with dedicated support services.

A collection of artefacts showing the earliest evidence of early humans intentionally making fire nearly 350,000 years earlier than previously thought has been uncovered in Barnham, England, by a team of archaeologists including researchers from UCL.

A Manchester team is exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming global research - accelerating discovery, reshaping collaboration and raising urgent questions about responsibility and the future of scientific practice. Artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool for science - it is starting to reshape how science itself is practiced.

Millions of UK social homes are at growing risk from rising temperatures and soaring energy costs and current housing and climate policies are failing to keep up, according to a new research by The University of Manchester.

Manchester researchers are using AI to transform welding into a smarter, faster and safer process. Their system predicts stresses and optimises designs in real time, cutting costly trial-and-error and empowering welders to build stronger structures.

Writing for The Conversation, Professor Jessica Ringrose (UCL Institute of Education) explores whether a social media ban would be beneficial or damaging for British under-16s.

Providing surgeons feedback and education on their performance significantly improved the quality of bladder cancer operations, finds a new clinical trial led by researchers at UCL, UCLH and the University of Edinburgh.

Offering screening for neurodivergence to people detained by the police could help ensure access to appropriate support and fairer treatment in the criminal justice system, say Cambridge researchers.

A new research collaboration which fuses fashion and science is set to send bacteria into space - and the outcomes could create radiation-sensitive fabrics capable of preventing skin cancer on Earth and protecting space explorers on the Moon.

UCL's latest UniForum Service Effectiveness Survey results are in, showing rising satisfaction and valuable insights into how our professional services support teaching and research.
