The programme is designed to increase the number of engineering students from socio-economically disadvantaged or under-represented backgrounds and help address the UK skills shortage
A new analysis led by Oxford physicists and published in the journal 'Science' has shown that the devastating Hunga Tonga\u2013Hunga Ha\u02bbapai eruption in January 2022 created the tallest volcanic plume ever recorded.
A new study, involving researchers in the departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Kavli Institute, sheds light on how Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli construct their outer membrane to resemble body armour, which has far-reaching implications for the development of antibiotics.
The grant to Professor Natalia Ares from the Department of Engineering Science will fund the ASPECTS consortium, which brings together leading experimental and theoretical physicists across Europe with the common goal of uncovering the limitations of natural timekeeping devices to assess whether precision measurements can be more energy efficient.
An exceptionally well-preserved collection of fossils discovered in eastern Yunnan Province, China, has enabled researchers to solve a centuries-old riddle in the evolution of life on earth, revealing what the first animals to make skeletons looked like.
In a series of powerful 'hopes' for Egypt, 20 leading researchers from across the University have recorded wishes and warnings in videos and written messages for the delegates to COP27.
In the run-up to COP27, Myles Allen, Department of Physics and Environmental Change Institute, discusses more than two decades of work on climate change.
The Rockefeller Foundation has announced $3 million in new funding for Global.health (G.h) \u2013 a first-of-its-kind, open-source platform for scientific pandemic data.
Following two large meteorite impacts on Mars, near-surface seismic waves have been recorded for the first time on a planet other than Earth. The data, analysed by an international team involving University of Oxford researchers, has revealed valuable new information about the structure of the Martian crust.
Oxford palaeobiologists, working with researchers at the University of Warsaw and University College London, have shed new light on the evolution of lizards using a fossil discovery from Scotland, in research published in the journal Nature.
The University of Oxford is one of nine leading research universities around the world selected to deliver a new global postdoctoral fellowship programme to drive the innovative use of artificial intelligence across science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) research.
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) announced this week that they have awarded more than \u00a320 million for UK theoretical physics. The investment will benefit the Particle Theory group in the Department of Physics as well as the Mathematical Physics group in the Mathematical Institute.
The Nekton Maldives Mission, involving Oxford marine biologists, has found evidence of a previously undescribed ecosystem - \u2018The Trapping Zone\u2019 - that is creating an oasis of life 500 metres down in the depths of the Indian Ocean. The discovery has been hailed as highly significant by the Maldives Government.
New research led by biologists from the University of Oxford, working with partners at Yellowstone National Park and Penn State in the US, may have finally solved why wolves change colour across the North American continent.
'How would an artificial intelligence (AI) decide what to do?', asks Oxford DPhil candidate in Engineering Science, Michael K Cohen, and his co-author Marcus Hutter from the Australian National University, in this article which highlights the potential risks of relying on the 'reinforcement learning' approach in AI research.
Four researchers from across the University of Oxford, including two from the Department of Materials and the Department of Engineering Science, have been awarded Philip Leverhulme prizes \u2013 the largest number awarded to researchers of any single UK university.
The 2022 Oxford Electric Vehicle Summit will focus on growth and investment, as it returns to Oxford University\u2019s Sa\u00efd Business School. The event is in partnership with Oxford City Council, Oxfordshire County Council, Oxford University and Oxford Brookes University and aims to deliver on decarbonised transport in the UK, and beyond.
Professor Tim Palmer, Royal Society Research Professor in the Department of Physics, discusses how noise can improve the accuracy of climate models, and how noise in the brain is the key to creativity, in an article first published on the Conversation.
An article first published on the Conversation by Amy Dickman, Professor of Wildlife Conservation in the Department of Biology, and colleagues Niall Hammond from Griffith University and Duan Biggs at Northern Arizona University.
