Archaeologists from the University of Glasgow and the National Trust for Scotland have recovered more than 100 projectiles, including lead musket balls and cannon shot, from Culloden Battlefield.

A new form of 3D-printed twisting metamaterial which can mitigate the effects of impact could lead to improved crash protection for vehicles in the years ahead. Researchers from universities in Scotland and Italy are behind the development of the material, which has a unique lattice shape that allows it to twist into itself to effectively protect against a range of impact types and severities.

Understanding Animal Research (UAR) has published a list of the ten organisations that carried out the highest number of animal procedures - those used in medical, veterinary, and scientific research - in Great Britain in 2024. These statistics are freely available on the organisations' websites as part of their ongoing commitment to transparency and openness around the use of animals in research.

A project which helps people struggling with low mood during the winter months check out some sunlight from their local library is heading to one of Scotland's most remote communities this winter.

A new development in affordable, open-source mobile networks which enables near-real-time control of robotic arms could help doctors work on patients in remote locations in the years to come.

A powerful 3D microscope, capable of achieving new and more detailed insights into cancer cells, is being installed at the University of Glasgow.

Engineers from a Scottish university are teaming up with industry to develop environmentally-friendly, biodegradable circuit boards for use in wireless communication technologies.

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.

Harnessing the power of AI, a research team at the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research has launched Viro3D - the most comprehensive database of human and animal virus protein structure predictions in the world. A free and searchable AI-powered database, Viro3D offers a completely new, in-depth perspective on viruses, allowing us to learn more and faster about their origins and evolution.

A powerful software tool capable of accurately modelling how cameras capture light could help democratise the development of new imaging systems for use in space.

More outdoor learning is 'essential' for young people in Scotland, whose opportunities to go outside fall far short of what is offered in other countries, says a new study.

Hillwalkers setting out to bag a Munro are being asked for their help to bag a meteorite too, as scientists race against time to recover precious samples of a space rock which lit up the skies over Scotland this summer.

Researchers from the University of Glasgow are celebrating the 10th anniversary of one of the 21st century's key scientific achievements - the first direct detection of gravitational waves. https://youtu.be/SqhFtkQ4f2c On14 September 2015, a signal arrived on Earth from a pair of remote black holes that had spiralled together and merged.

Displaced people seeking to start new lives in Scotland could be helped to settle in the country with the support of a new social robot in development at the University of Glasgow.
