The Royal Academy of Engineering has awarded its MacRobert Award 2025 to OrganOx, an Oxford biomedical engineering spinout that has developed two of the most complex medical devices ever designed in the UK.
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has today announced a \u00a341 million investment (matched with a further \u00a356 million from businesses and academia) for twenty-three new Prosperity Partnerships to tackle key industry challenges. The University of Oxford, in partnership with Fortescue Zero, will lead one of these to develop safer, more reliable, high-performance batteries for industries such as mining, transport, and construction.
Leading academics from Oxford, Imperial College London, Loughborough, and King's College London launched a \u00a39.5M hydrogen-powered jet engine programme at Oxford's Thermofluids Institute earlier this month. The EPSRC-backed project aims to achieve net-zero aviation emissions by 2050.
Department of Engineering Science DPhil student Honora Driscoll has been named in the Women's Engineering Society's Top 50 Women in Engineering awards 2025, announced today for International Women in Engineering Day.
A new study led by researchers at the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Manchester has achieved a major advance in quantum materials, developing a method to precisely engineer single quantum defects in diamond \u2013 an essential step toward scalable quantum technologies.
Using a brand-new type of satellite altimetry, a study led by the Department of Engineering Science has finally confirmed the theory that the cause of extraordinary global tremors in September\u2013October 2023 were two mega tsunamis in Greenland that became trapped standing waves.
Ten new Fellows have joined the Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship programme at the University of Oxford. Now entering its third year, the programme is helping to accelerate the next scientific revolution by applying artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to research across the natural sciences, engineering, and mathematical sciences.
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.
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.
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.
A study led by researchers from the Department of Engineering Science has developed an advanced physics-based AI-driven tool to aid traumatic brain injury (TBI) investigations in forensics and law enforcement.
Nuclear robotics and artificial intelligence cluster will link Cumbria and Oxfordshire to accelerate the decommissioning of the country\u2019s nuclear legacy and remove people from harm.
The University of Oxford is to share in a \u00a350 million award from the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA), to advance research that could unlock artificial intelligence (AI) hardware at a thousandth of the cost.
Dr Christian Schroeder de Witt (Department of Engineering Science) and Dr Simon Birnbach (Department of Computer Science) have been awarded UK Intelligence Community Postdoctoral Research Fellowship programme to tackle emerging security challenges.
Associate Professor Natalia Ares (Department of Engineering Science), who received the Philip Leverhulme Prize for her work on experimental quantum physics, was one of four Oxford researchers recognised by the Leverhulme Trust.
The Oxford Martin School Programme on Circular Battery Economies aims to deliver a blueprint for a truly circular battery economy, with a focus on leveraging opportunities in the Global South. The programme is led by Paul Shearing, Department of Engineering Science and Director of the ZERO Institute.
At its AGM on 17 September 2024 the Royal Academy of Engineering elected 71 leading figures in the field of engineering and technology to its Fellowship. Professor Tim Denison and Professor Paul Shearing are amongst those elected.
A research team led by the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge have created new \u2018origami-inspired\u2019 brain electrodes that can fold to a fraction of their full size. This advance could significantly reduce the amount of surgery needed to treat conditions such as epilepsy, or to install brain-computer interfaces.
