The bones of people who died up to a hundred years ago are being used in the development of new treatments for chronic back pain. It is the first time old bones have been used in this way.
The research is bringing together the unusual combination…
A prototype computer game has been developed to help improve decision making skills in all aspects of our lives.
Supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), a team at Queen’s University Belfast has developed a pro…
New software has been developed at Queen Mary, University of London’s Centre for Digital Music, giving drummers the freedom to speed up or slow down the pace of any pre-programmed music, the material following their lead.
It means that drummers wi…
New software has been developed that gives drummers the freedom to speed up or slow down the pace of the music with any pre-programmed material following their lead.
It means that drummers will no longer have to keep time with a click track and th…
Engineers have developed a new type of microchip muscle stimulator implant that will enable people with paraplegia to exercise their paralysed leg muscles.
It is the first time that researchers have developed a device of this kind that is small e…
A popular cancer drug could be produced cheaply and sustainably using stem cells derived from trees, a study suggests.
Researchers have isolated and grown stem cells from a yew tree whose bark is a natural source of the anticancer compound paclita…
New research into how music conveys emotion could benefit the treatment of depression and the management of physical pain.
Using an innovative combination of music psychology and leading-edge audio engineering the project is looking in more detail…
Researchers report that they have created tree-like molecules that assemble themselves into precisely structured building blocks of a quarter-million atoms. Such building blocks may be precursors to designing nanostructures for molecular electronics or photonics materials, which “steer” light in the same way computer chips steer electrons.
