A team of researchers has found new ways to make it cheaper - and greener - for small food producers to get their goods to customers. The study, led by Alliance Manchester Business School's Dr Arijit De and published in the Transportation Research journal, looked at how local food hubs can work more efficiently.

For ten long years, Australia earned an unenviable reputation as one of the world's climate change 'laggards'.

New research by Dr Laure Humbert from The University of Manchester and Dr Raphaële Balu from Sorbonne University has revealed how Britain's vital contribution to the French Resistance during the Second World War was largely forgotten in France - and why this silence lasted for decades.

New suite of space weather forecasting models focuses on how space weather can influence the thermosphere and ionosphere here on Earth.

Whole genome sequencing offered to breast cancer patients is likely to identify unique genetic features that could either guide immediate treatment or help match patients to clinical trials for over 15,000 women a year, say scientists at the University of Cambridge. The UK is a genuine world-leader in terms of its ability to do whole genome sequencing in the NHS through the Genomic Medicine Service.

A new drug combination could significantly delay the progression of a life-threatening form of prostate cancer in men with specific genetic mutations, finds a major international trial led by UCL researchers. The Phase III AMPLITUDE trial, published in Nature Medicine , tested the addition of niraparib, a type of targeted cancer drug known as a PARP inhibitor 1 , to the standard treatment of abiraterone acetate and prednisone (AAP).

For the first time, the OHCAO team at University of Warwick have published national data for children who suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, underscoring urgent need for CPR training.

A new study co-led by the University of Oxford and Google Cloud has shown how general-purpose AI can accurately classify real changes in the night sky - such as an exploding star, a black hole tearing apart a passing star, or a fast-moving asteroid - and explain its reasoning, without the need for complex training.

The number of children and young people accessing NHS-funded mental health services has increased by nearly 80,000 in the past year, sparking renewed concern over a system already under strain.

Students from less wealthy backgrounds are more likely to attend schools where learning a language to GCSE is treated as optional - and not necessarily strongly encouraged - new research shows. The University of Cambridge study of 615 state schools in England found that while socio-economic background does not have a significant impact on students' desire to study languages, poorer students are disproportionately concentrated in schools that give languages lower priority.

Our researchers are helping young people discover the overlooked stories of Black British communities through art, history and literature.

New detector concept uses cutting-edge optical cavity and atomic clock technologies to sense gravitational waves in the elusive milli-Hertz frequency band. Scientists have unveiled a new approach to detecting gravitational waves in the milli-Hertz frequency range, providing access to astrophysical and cosmological phenomena that are not detectable with current instruments.

Blast fishing causes long-lasting damage to coral reefs, finds new research co-led by former UCL researcher Satrio Hani Samudra (UCL Division of Biosciences).

Dr Elizabeth Rosser (UCL Division of Medicine) explores the symptoms, complications and treatments for lupus, an autoimmune disease which celebrity Selena Gomez suffers from as well as an estimated five million people worldwide.

Women with an inherited risk of developing ovarian cancer because they have the so-called Angelina Jolie gene alteration can now be tested on the NHS thanks to UCL research.

An AI-powered hearing test is reliably able to check your hearing on a computer or smart phone without clinical supervision according to a study by University of Manchester researchers.

Medical trainees are particularly vulnerable to sexual abuse and are often shut down or silenced when they do report incidents, finds ground-breaking research led by the Universities of Glasgow and Dundee. The study, carried out by Professor Rosalind Searle from University of Glasgow's Adam Smith Business School, and Lewis Garippa from the University of Dundee, follows a surgical trainee's sexual harassment and abuse (SHA) reporting journey.
