National University of Singapore (NUS) Assistant Professor Xiaogang He wins the first Global Climate Research Prize (GCRP). 

The first Global Climate Research Prize (GCRP) will be awarded during a glittering ceremony at the University of Cambridge on 10 June.

University of Cambridge alumnus Professor John Clarke has been awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics, jointly with Michel H Devoret and John M Martinis, for their work revealing quantum physics in action.

Tiny copper ‘nano-flowers’ have been attached to an artificial leaf to produce clean fuels and chemicals that are the backbone of modern energy and manufacturing.

Researchers have created the world’s largest ancient human gene bank, and used it to map the historical spread of genes – and diseases – over time as populations migrated. 

Researchers have used isotopes of carbon to trace how carbon dioxide emissions could be converted into low-carbon fuels and chemicals. The result could help the chemical industry, which is the third largest subsector in terms of direct CO2 emissions, recycle its own waste using current manufacturing processes.

Analysis of energy RD&D investment in major economies also found that commitments at COP21 yielded some positives. Ultimately, however, trends over this century are not consistent with the ‘cleantech’ funding levels needed to meet climate goals, say researchers.

A new phase of matter, thought to be understandable only using quantum physics, can be studied with far simpler classical methods.

UC Berkeley, the University of Cambridge and the National University of Singapore to support collaborative projects in themes including Precision Medicine, Cities and Smart Systems.

Some of the world’s leading thinkers and practitioners in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will gather in Cambridge this week to look at everything from the influence of science fiction on our dreams of the future, to ‘trust in the age of intelligent machines’.
