Back in March we wrote about Warwick University’s WUSAT-2 satellite (see Warwick University readies WUSAT 2 cubesat mission). Well, it has successfully launched, writes Richard Wilson.

A team at Southampton University has developed a new technique called CiELO (debris Cloud Evolution in Low Orbits) to assess the collision risk to space missions from small-sized debris.

The University of Sheffield has submitted plans for the next phase of its Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with Boeing.

Here’s an interesting one. The University of Surrey is adopting a a crowdfunding platform to give enterprising students and staff the opportunity to get their ideas off the ground.

Devon-based Alpha Contract Engineering is partnering Nokia Technologies and Oxford University in a research programme to make sensitive data communications, such as cash transactions, more secure. The 12 month project will investigate the feasibility of quantum key distribution (QKD) from handheld devices to make the use of cash machines and other highly sensitive and important data transactions secure. QKD uses ...

A team from the University of Bath, collaborating with scientists in Germany and The Netherlands, is addressing some of the existing problems associated with using organic semiconductors, traditionally less efficient at conducting electricity.

The University of Bristol has officially opened its new Quantum Engineering Technology (QET) Labs.

Artificial neural networks can learn more than one task if neurons are encouraged to clump, and clumps are encouraged to specialise, according to research at the University of Wyoming. The discovery may be related to the formation of animal brains, which have specialised regions. A combination of learning and evolution over 20,000 generations has been used by the team to ...
