To raise awareness about climate change, a UCL researcher teamed up with one of the most popular mobile games, updating it to show science-based predictions of what will happen to Earth after a century of global warming.

Our focus for the coming academic year and beyond will be on taking a student-led harm reduction approach to all'addictive behaviours, including drug use.

The real world was brought into the laboratory on a scale never seen before, for an experiment where over 100 people were tracked walking through a custom-built network of moveable 'walls', in a UCL-led research project investigating how people move through spaces. The project attracted participation from professionals in architecture, hospitals, transport, AI, property, video game design, dance, and museums.

A fingertip device that closely mimics the sensation of interacting with real objects, developed by a team led by UCL researchers, paves the way for applications in diagnosing loss of touch, video calls, robotic surgery and hazardous waste handling.

A lack of diversity in genomic studies for dementia could limit the effectiveness of targeted therapies across underrepresented populations, finds research by UCL experts. Results from two papers that explore regions of the genome associated with Alzheimer's disease and dementia in African populations will be presented at the Future of Dementia in Africa conference.

The first satellite in the European Space Agency's Cluster quartet safely came back down to Earth on Sunday, marking a successful end to a decades-long mission involving UCL researchers.

Writing in The Conversation, Professor Graham Sheilds and Elias Rugen (both UCL Earth Sciences) discuss their discovery of rocks proving the polar ice caps once expanded so far they joined up around the equator. More than 700 million years ago, the Earth was plunged into a state that geologists call  "snowball Earth" , when our planet was entirely encased in ice.

Professor Ian Hamilton (UCL Energy Institute), with colleagues from Australian universities, cast a critical eye across the quality and condition of the Australian housing stock and the policies that govern it in The Conversation.

Two new interdisciplinary research projects investigating how to prepare for epidemics and volcanic eruption are receiving funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

A new law aimed at the protection of migratory fish in Brazil's Pantanal wetlands will harm thousands of local and Indigenous fishers, and puts the environment at greater risk from infrastructure development, finds a new study by a UCL researcher and collaborators in Brazil.

Over the past decade, the number of NHS general practices in England has decreased by 20% with 15% fewer qualified fulltime equivalent (FTE) general practitioners (GPs) per 1,000 patients, finds a new analysis involving a UCL researcher.

VPEE Student Journalist Caroline Coyer reflects on the highlights of the Research and Industry Showcase and Industry Reception, from the development of robots with a sense of touch to the possibility of using AI to enhance public safety at global events.

At the Festival of Engineering, VPEE Student Journalist Caroline Coyer attended the 'Interstellar Engineering' event and shared her insights on the exciting overlap between space exploration, medical advancements, and engineering.

Mothers under the age of 20 are at the greatest risk of being involved in care proceedings in the 10 years after having their first child, finds a new study report led by UCL researchers.

Five research projects at UCL are benefiting from over £800,000 in total funding announced by Muscular Dystrophy UK, to improve diagnosis, monitor progression and test potential new treatments for muscle wasting and weakening conditions.
