Four scientists and a multidisciplinary collaboration have won prizes from the Royal Society of Chemistry in recognition of brilliance in research and innovation. The awards are among the oldest and most prestigious research prizes in the world, having recognised excellence in the chemical sciences for more than 150 years.
As the international community gathers this week to discuss Ukraine\u2019s post-war recovery, a new analysis led by the University of Oxford demonstrates that Green Steel should be top of the agenda.
Professor Coussios is one of eight University of Oxford researchers elected in recognition of their exceptional contributions to the advancement of biomedical and health science, cutting edge research discoveries, and translating developments into benefits for patients and wider society.
Leading AI scientists, including researchers from the University of Oxford, are calling for stronger action on AI risks from world leaders, warning that progress has been insufficient since the first AI Safety Summit in Bletchley Park six months ago.
Professor Tarassenko (Department of Engineering Science) will join the crossbenches with other independent peers, who provide wide-ranging expertise to the House of Lords, enabling it to provide effective recommendations to policy being implemented by the elected members of the House of Commons.
SCGC-FIRST is a major new award scheme to develop novel ideas and nascent research from Oxford\u2019s laboratories into environmental sustainability solutions for the global chemicals industry. The four chosen projects exemplify innovation and promise to accelerate sustainable technology development.
Dr Sara Keller, from Oxford University\u2019s Department of Engineering Science, has been awarded a 2024 Rising Talent Award from the L\u2019Or\u00e9al-UNESCO For Women In Science programme. The initiative recognises exceptional early career women scientists in the UK and Ireland.
Dr Hari, who joined the Department of Engineering Science in February, was one of 32 emerging leaders selected for the network of early career researchers and professionals helping to tackle local and global issues and promote meaningful change.
Researchers from the Departments of Engineering Science and Physics are to join the ZEBAI project. The major new initiative, backed by the European Commission Horizon Programme, aims to revolutionise the way Zero-Emission buildings are designed.
For the new frontier of offshore wind power, the focus is on floating wind turbines \u2013 turbines supported by floating structures that bob and sway in response to waves and wind and are moored with chains and anchored to the seafloor.
Thirteen early career researchers from Oxford were finalists at this year\u2019s STEM for BRITAIN event, held on Monday at the Houses of Parliament, with three winning awards in their categories.
Researchers at the Department of Engineering Science are the only non-US partner in the DARTS project, which will combine the power of artificial intelligence, high-throughput testing and robotics to develop a step-change technology to diagnose antibiotic resistance.
A consortium of European partners spanning research, battery cell manufacturing, testing and system providers has launched the EU Horizon DigiBatt Research Project.
A new Parliamentary report spearheaded by Oxford University researchers has urged the UK Government to introduce a national heat resilience strategy to prepare the UK for the widespread impacts of a warming world.
A study led by the Department of Engineering Science has used the power of machine learning to overcome a key challenge affecting quantum devices. For the first time, the findings reveal a way to close the \u2018reality gap\u2019: the difference between predicted and observed behaviour from quantum devices.
While the lithium-ion batteries in disposable electronic cigarettes are discarded after a single use, they can continue to perform at high capacity for hundreds of cycles, according to new research from the University of Oxford and UCL, supported by The Faraday Institution.
The collaborative project 'Rapid test for Covid-19' by the University of Oxford and Oxsed Limited clinched the top prize, the 'Outstanding Achievement in Chemical and Process Engineering Award.' The team also secured two additional trophies in the categories of 'Innovative Product Award' and 'Business Start-up Award.'
