A breakthrough in the development of a new generation of plastic electronic circuits by researchers at the Cavendish Laboratory brings flexible and transparent intelligent materials - such as artificial skin and interactive playing cards - a step closer.
Some plants go to extraordinary lengths to attract pollinators. A unique collaboration between plant scientists and physicists is revealing the full extent of botanical advertising.
A collaborative project between physicists, oncologists and computer scientists at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, launched last month, will develop improved tools for the planning of high precision radiotherapy. Accel-RT will also help overcome time constraints that currently limit the use of complex radiotherapy treatment.
In the eighth of a series of reports contributed by Cambridge researchers, we hear about Dr John Richer's night-time research activities at the ALMA observatory in Chile's Atacama desert.
Scientists discover why buttercups reflect yellow on chins - and it doesn't have anything to do with whether you like butter. The new research sheds light on children's game and provides insight into pollination.
Progress in electronics has relied heavily on reducing the size of the transistor to create small, powerful computers. Now spintronics, hailed as the successor to the transistor, looks set to transform the field.
