According to new research, small, inexpensive fish species caught in seas and lakes in developing countries could help address malnutrition in undernourished individuals, particularly young…
Scientists explore how the scent of food can enable “time travel.” Older adults who were exposed to childhood food flavors had an improved memory of…
Time crystals were long believed to be impossible because their perpetual motion would seem to defy the laws of physics. However, using quantum physics scientists…
As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, one of the questions I am most frequently asked is “When are you…
A Lancaster physicist has proposed a radical solution to the question of how a charged particle, such as an electron, responded to its own electromagnetic…
Engineers have successfully transferred digitally encoded information wirelessly using nuclear radiation instead of conventional technology. Radio waves and mobile phone signals rely on electromagnetic radiation…
More than one in ten COVID-19 patients in 314 UK hospitals caught the infection in a hospital during the first pandemic wave say researchers conducting…
A major drought and forest fires in the Amazon rainforest killed billions of trees and plants and turned one of the world’s largest carbon sinks…
One of the most cherished laws of physics — the conservation of charge — has come under fire in “startling” research by physicists. The paper…
Young people with poor mental health took a turn for the better during the pandemic but those with good mental health saw a considerable decline,…
An outbreak of vomiting among dogs has been traced back to a type of animal coronavirus by researchers. Vets across the country began reporting cases…
Lancaster scientists have demonstrated that other physicists’ recent “discovery” of the field effect in superconductors is nothing but hot electrons after all. A team of…
Why Hotter Clocks Are More Accurate A new experiment shows that the more energy consumed by a clock, the more accurate its timekeeping. Clocks pervade…
A novel technique for studying vortices in quantum fluids has been developed by Lancaster physicists. Andrew Guthrie, Sergey Kafanov, Theo Noble, Yuri Pashkin, George Pickett…
Researchers assessing the impact of solar energy development across Europe have come up with ten ways in which the expansion of solar can be shaped…
Scientists from Lancaster University and the University of Stirling have completed the first detailed modeling of the environmental effects of floating solar installations on bodies…
Researchers looking at miniscule levels of plutonium pollution in our soils have made a breakthrough that could help inform future ‘clean up’ operations on land…
Fast and energy-efficient future data processing technologies are on the horizon after an international team of scientists successfully manipulated magnets at the atomic level. Physicist…
