Helping world food security by unlocking a key to photosynthesis

Scientists reveal ‘beating heart’ of photosynthesis that is responsible for significantly influencing plant growth. Study shows how an electrical reaction in protein complex cytochrome b6f provides the energy that plants need to turn carbon dioxide into the carbohydrates and biomass that sustain the global food chain. Discovery could allow experts to redesign future photosynthesis

Robotic autonomy takes a step closer to autonomous reality

Practise makes perfect – it is an adage that has helped humans become highly dexterous, and now it is an approach that is being applied to robots. Computer scientists at the University are using the artificial intelligence (AI) techniques of automated planning and reinforcement learning to “train” a robot to find an object in a

Could tickle therapy help slow aging?

Scientists found that a short daily therapy delivered for two weeks led to both physiological and wellbeing improvements, including a better quality of life, mood and sleep. The therapy, called transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS), delivers a small, painless electrical current to the ear, which sends signals to the body’s nervous system through the vagus nerve.

Checking your colon for early signs of disease with a miniature robot

Engineers have shown it is technically possible to guide a tiny robotic capsule inside the colon to take micro-ultrasound images. Known as a Sonopill, the device could one day replace the need for patients to undergo an endoscopic examination, where a semi-rigid scope is passed into the bowel – an invasive procedure that can be

Is this a new weapon against one of the deadliest cancers?

Aggressive brain tumour cells taken from patients were found to self-destruct after being exposed by to a chemical in laboratory tests by researchers. The study could be the first step in tackling cancers such as glioblastoma, which led to Dame Tessa Jowell’s death earlier this year. The research, led by the University of Leeds, found

A textile that disinfects itself – think hospital doors and doorknobs

Scientists have developed a novel weapon in the battle against deadly hospital-acquired infections – a textile that disinfects itself. Tests show it can reduce bacteria levels by more than 90 per cent. By incorporating the specially-engineered textile in a device designed to be used on hospital doors instead of the traditional aluminium door plate, the

Hepatitis B drug treatment gets closer

A major new insight into how Hepatitis B virus works could pave the way for new drug treatments for the infection, which is the major cause of liver cancer worldwide. The team at the Universities of York and Leeds identified an “assembly code” in the genetic material of Hepatitis B virus that allows it to
