Scientists rule out fourth neutrino particle in search for new physics

04 December 2025

UK scientists have played a key role in solving a neutrino mystery that has challenged researchers for decades.

‘Beautiful energy sandwich’ could power next-generation solar and lighting

13 November 2025

Researchers have achieved a new level of control over the atomic structure of a family of materials known as halide perovskites, creating a finely tuned ‘energy sandwich’ that could transform how solar cells, LEDs and lasers are made.

JWST's grism mode captures faint light from ionised hydrogen gas in distant galaxies

‘Messy’ galaxies in the early universe struggled to settle

22 October 2025

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have captured the most detailed look yet at how galaxies formed just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang – and found they were far more chaotic and messy than those we see today.

Solar-powered method lights the way to a ‘de-fossilised’ chemical industry

10 October 2025

Researchers have demonstrated a new and sustainable way to make the chemicals that are the basis of thousands of products – from plastics to cosmetics – we use every day.

Four Cambridge innovations awarded UKRI proof of concept funding

09 October 2025

Four cutting-edge University of Cambridge research projects are to receive funding from UKRI to grow into market-leading products and services.

Representative images of two Parkinson's Disease patients stained for alpha-synuclein.

Parkinson’s ‘trigger’ directly observed in human brain tissue for the first time

01 October 2025

Scientists have, for the first time, directly visualised and quantified the protein clusters believed to trigger Parkinson’s, marking a major advance in the study of the world’s fastest-growing neurological disease.

Cambridge researchers awarded UKRI Future Leader Fellowships

16 September 2025

Three Cambridge researchers are among 77 early-career researchers who have been awarded a total of £120 million to lead vital research, collaborate with innovators and develop their careers as the research and innovation leaders of the future.

UK-wide birth cohort study to follow lives of new generation of babies

09 September 2025

Cambridge is to co-lead a new UK-wide scientific study that will follow the lives of 30,000 children born in 2026, helping provide evidence to improve the lives of future generations.

‘Artificial cartilage’ could improve arthritis treatment

09 September 2025

Researchers have developed a material that can sense tiny changes within the body, such as during an arthritis flare-up, and release drugs exactly where and when they are needed.

Brain cancer cells can be ‘reprogrammed’ to stop them from spreading

02 September 2025

Scientists have found a way to stop brain cancer cells spreading by essentially ‘freezing’ a key molecule in the brain.
