The study, led by the Department of Biology and published in Science Advances, is the world\u2019s first randomised controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of an incentive-based marine conservation programme conclusively.
Researchers from the Department of Engineering Science and NDORMS engineered ultrasound-activated, antibiotic-loaded nanoparticles that disrupt biofilms and deliver drugs directly to infection sites \u2013 advancing non-invasive targeting of infections.
An impressive feat for Colossal Biosciences would be re-engineering large animals to provide lost ecological functions writes Professor Tim Coulson in The Conversation.
Department of Earth Sciences researchers have helped overturn the popular theory that water on Earth originated from asteroids bombarding its surface. Instead, the material which built our planet was far richer in hydrogen than previously thought.
Dr Jacob Blackmore from the Department of Physics and Dr Zhenyu Cai from the Department of Engineering Science have been awarded Quantum Technology Career Acceleration Fellowships by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
A collaborative study between the Medical Sciences Division and the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division has been awarded the 2024 PNAS Cozzarelli Prize in Biomedical Science.
Researchers from the Departments of Computer Science and Engineering Science are leading two major projects as part of the UK Government\u2019s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) Safeguarded AI programme.
Professor David Macdonald, who founded the Department of Biology\u2019s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU), has been awarded the Linnean Medal for long-standing and significant contributions to natural sciences.
The Department of Materials celebrates a new chapter in its microscopy facilities with the arrival of the JEOL GrandARM300F. The new instrument will support cutting-edge research across the University and play a role in teaching the next generation of microscopists.
Oxford Advanced Materials Network officially launched last week. The interdisciplinary hub brings together researchers, industry partners and policy makers to address the key challenges in developing critical, next-generation materials.
Researchers from the Department of Chemistry have developed a method to destroy fluorine-containing PFAS (sometimes labelled \u201cforever chemicals\u201d) while recovering their fluorine content for future use.
The University of Oxford has strengthened its long-standing partnership with JEOL, a leading global manufacturer of scientific instruments, with a generous gift. This funding secures the JEOL Professorship of Electron Microscopy until 2030, ensuring the continued advancement of cutting-edge research in the field.
The University of Oxford has risen to second place in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025 for Engineering and Technology, cementing its position among the world's leading institutions in the field.
Department of Physics researchers have been at the forefront of studies working with thousands of members of the public to sift through the immense quantities of data from Euclid to shed light on how mysterious forces shaped the evolution of the Universe.
The Oxford EARTH programme (Ensuring equitable Access to sustainable Resources for a Thriving Habitat) aims to address the challenges in natural resources underpinning the net zero energy transition, including critical raw materials needed for the generation, storage and transmission of renewable energy, and the social license needed to extract them from the Earth.
New research from the Department of Biology has provided fresh insights into how bird songs evolve over time, revealing a significant role for population dynamics in shaping song diversity and change. The findings \u2013 based on an analysis of over 100,000 bird songs \u2013 have been published today in Current Biology.
The University of Oxford's ZERO Institute (Zero-carbon Energy Research Oxford), dedicated to pioneering research in zero-carbon energy systems, is delighted to announce the establishment of a new PhD/DPhil scholarship funded by the Ezgi and Michele Attisani family foundation. Mr. Attisani, an active tech investor and founder of the world's largest e-sports platform, FACE IT, has donated to support emerging talent in the field of zero-carbon energy.
