A low-cost, durable, highly sensitive robotic 'skin' that enables robots to detect information about their surroundings in a way that's similar to humans has been developed by researchers from UCL and the University of Cambridge. The study, published in Science Robotics , details the development of the flexible, conductive skin, which is easy to fabricate and can be melted down and formed into a wide range of complex shapes.

We have made some important changes and improvements to UCL's Report + Support system to enhance support for staff and students We believe that no one should ever have to experience bullying, harassment, or sexual misconduct, and that, if you do, you deserve to be supported and taken seriously.

Patients who received a one-off gene therapy to treat haemophilia are still doing well up to 13 years later, proving that the therapy is safe and long-lasting, finds a new study from researchers at UCL, the Royal Free Hospital and St Jude Children's Research Hospital, Tennessee. The study, published in New England Journal of Medicine , is the longest reported follow-up for any gene therapy for haemophilia B, a rare genetic disorder caused by insufficient levels of a protein in the blood, called factor IX (nine), that promotes clotting after injury.

Writing in The Conversation, Professor Katherine Twamley (UCL Social Research Institute) explains her research into why fathers do not believe the UK government or their employers view their participation in childcare as important.

Cambridge researchers urge public health bodies like the NHS to provide trustworthy, research-driven alternatives to platforms driven by profit.

Cells taken from the lungs of people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have a larger accumulation of soot-like carbon deposits compared to cells taken from people who smoke but do not have COPD, according to a study led by University of Manchester researchers.

Policy subsystems are comprised of competing advocacy coalitions, in which public and private political actors with shared belief systems learn from each other and coordinate their strategies in the pursuit of influencing policy making in their favour.

Opening any new North Sea oil and gas fields is incompatible with achieving the Paris Climate Agreement goals of limiting warming to 1.5°C or holding warming to "well below 2°C" relative to preindustrial levels, finds a new report published by UCL academics.
