A team of researchers at the University of Oxford have unveiled a pioneering \u2018microstent\u2019 which could revolutionise treatment for glaucoma, a common but debilitating condition. The study has been published in The Innovation, Cell Press.
A new study led by the University of Oxford could provide a cost-effective and sustainable solution to help tackle the devastating decline in honeybees. An engineered food supplement, designed to provide essential compounds found in plant pollen, was found to significantly enhance colony reproduction. The results have been published today in the journal Nature.
In a new study led by Oxford University\u2019s Department of Chemistry, chemists have demonstrated the synthesis of a cyclocarbon that is stable enough for spectroscopic characterisation in solution at room temperature.
Researchers from the Department of Materials and Engineering Science will collaborate on a programme led by The University of Manchester, which aims to transform the lifecycle of graphite in nuclear energy \u2013 an essential material for the future deployment of nuclear power.
The Martingale Foundation has announced a major expansion of its postgraduate scholarship programme for STEM students, with a commitment to support 800 Scholars across its partner universities by the end of the decade.
Researchers from the University of Oxford, EleutherAI, and the UK AI Security Institute have reported a major advance in safeguarding open-weight language models. By filtering out potentially harmful knowledge during training, the researchers were able to build models that resist subsequent malicious updates \u2013 especially valuable in sensitive domains such as biothreat research.
Professor Christopher Vogel, from the Department of Engineering Science, sets the record straight on the science and economics of wind turbines, and why these must be a key component of the UK\u2019s net zero energy strategy.
Global multi strategy investment manager Qube Research and Technologies (QRT) has pledged to support students from under-represented and disadvantaged backgrounds at the University of Oxford.
Oxford researchers tracking wild great tits over multiple seasons have discovered that bird couples show clear behavioural signs of impending \"divorce\" months before they actually separate.
A research project led by the IOI to study the cause and impact of antimicrobial resistant sepsis in Nigeria has reduced new-born deaths, improved awareness about neonatal infection prevention amongst parents and strengthened capacity and training for local doctors. The findings have been published in Nature Communications.
Amy Dickman, from WildCRU, is one of the researchers behind a recent Conversation article exploring how upgraded fencing in Tanzania is helping to reduce conflict between people, livestock and large carnivores. The piece looks at how communities can better coexist with lions and other predators while protecting both livelihoods and wildlife.
Seven members of the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division (MPLS) have been recognised for their outstanding research impact at the annual MPLS Impact Awards.
The Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division announces the five recipients of this year\u2019s Teaching Awards, recognising their significant contributions to student learning and academic innovation.
The University of Oxford has received a \u00a36.25 million gift to expand its outreach work with socio-economically disadvantaged students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
Professor Jin-Chong Tan from the Department of Engineering Science has been awarded an European Research Council (ERC) Proof of Concept Grant for his project RESILIENT. The \u20ac150,000 award will help him develop advanced sensing technologies through smart coating systems.
The University of Oxford was delighted to welcome two distinguished ministerial delegations to the Oxford Robotics Institute (ORI) on Friday 11 July, where cutting-edge research and innovation were on full display.
New research led by University of Oxford researchers has found that old age likely impacts the habitual tool-use behaviours of some wild chimpanzees \u2013 although the extent to which different individuals are affected appears to be highly variable.
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.
Nature-friendly farming budgets are increasing through schemes like the ELM programme \u2013 but could cuts elsewhere undermine overall progress? Professor Nathalie Seddon from the Department of Biology investigates for The Conversation UK.
