An electronic glove that enables movement in the paralysed hand of stroke survivors - supporting their rehabilitation - has been invented by a team from the University of Southampton.

The new collaborative base for over 500 researchers in chemical, environmental and biomolecular sciences has opened at the University of Birmingham.

Researchers at The University of Warwick are among four world-class teams receiving a share of £18 million to pursue transformational bioscience research programmes.

A company specialising in expanding organoids at scale is preparing to leave Cardiff Medicentre. Cellesce, a spin-out from Cardiff and Bath Universities, has been a tenant at the Medicentre since 2017.

Research by Cardiff scientists that could radically reduce greenhouse gas emissions that result from the chemical synthesis sector has been shortlisted for an IChemE Global Award. The team from the Max-Planck-Cardiff Centre on the Fundamentals of Heterogeneous Catalysis (FUNCAT), have reported a brand-new method of creating cyclohexanone oxime - a pre-cursor to the plastic material Nylon-6.

In a pioneering application of operando spectroscopy, researchers at The University of Manchester at Harwell (UoMaH), in collaboration colleagues at Diamond Light Source, University College London, Un

The Institute for Digital Molecular Design and Fabrication (DigiFAB) hosted a hackathon themed around large language models in science.

Network will find and investigate materials for applications in renewable energy, drug delivery, water purification and more Renewable energy, manufacturing, drug delivery and water filtration are some of the wide-ranging challenges researchers are aiming to make impacts in, following the launch of a new materials research network.

A greener, faster and more effective way of recycling plastics is being developed by researchers at Cardiff University.

Common drugs such as paracetamol and ibuprofen can be made from a chemical from pine trees instead of crude oil products. A team of scientists, from the University of Bath's Department of Chemistry and Institute for Sustainability have found a way to create two of the world's most common painkillers, paracetamol and ibuprofen, out of a compound found in pine trees, which is also a waste product from the paper industry.

A new chemical process that removes chlorine in drinking water has reached the final of a £4m innovation competition. Researchers from Cardiff University have teamed up with the water filtration systems specialists, Origin Aqua , to develop a product that disinfects water, kills viruses and bacteria and removes chlorine by-products.

Two research teams at The University of Manchester have won a prestigious Royal Society of Chemistry Horizon Prize.

Six Oxford University academics have been honoured in the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)'s annual Research and Innovation Prizes - more than any other institution this year.

Researchers will explore a new method for creating fusion power that they hope could eventually be scaled to provide safe, clean, and abundant energy.

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.

A Chemical engineer has won a European Research Council Proof of Concept grant to scale-up new technology for redox flow batteries.

Birmingham researchers have devised a -closed loop- carbon recycling system that could radically reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the steelmaking industry Researchers from the University of Birmin

A new way of using colour to detect disease, inspired by the bright blue of certain corals and mushrooms, has been developed by chemists at Bath Stains that make specific components of a live cell light up under a microscope have become powerful tools for detecting disease and monitoring biological processes, but the choice of available stains is severely limited and all options on the market are imperfect.

Bath chemists have been awarded funding on two £1.5 million national projects on monitoring and improving water quality.

Two Imperial academics have won European Research Council grants to accelerate their ground-breaking research into materials and chemical engineering.

Here's a batch of fresh news and announcements from across Imperial. From flexible clothing sensors that detect body movement, to a newly-discovered toxin that can kill bacteria, here is some quick-read news from across the College. Flexible movement sensors researchers have developed flexible clothing sensors that can detect body movement, with potential applications in injury rehabilitation, human-computer interaction systems, and athletic training.

Imperial and BASF, the world's largest chemical producer, have begun a new phase in their strategic partnership to advance modern chemical production.

Three scientists from The University of Manchester have been awarded with prestigious prizes by The Royal Society of Chemistry for their research.
