ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´

Scientists have discovered how a small protein in plants that acts like a molecular form of velcro helps stick to other target proteins, creating new connections that enable plants to respond better to environmental stresses like drought, salt and pathogens.

A physicist from the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ has had her work to engage more girls with Physics recognised with a prestigious award from the Royal Society.

Researchers have successfully produced antibodies that kill the parasite carried by the ‘kissing bug’ that causes the potentially deadly Chagas disease. The research is a vital step towards the development of the first effective vaccine.

Researchers have identified key factors that influence the flavour of chocolate during the cocoa bean fermentation process, a discovery that could offer chocolate producers a powerful tool to craft consistently high-quality, flavour-rich chocolate.

Researchers from the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ have been awarded funding to further explore heat tolerance and resilience in rice, helping towards the development of drought/heat resistant crops.

Training and development for the food and drink sector will be enhanced with a new partnership that will bring together sector leading industry and academic expertise.

A new science and art collaboration will explore people’s responses to cuddling a robot. ‘Embrace Angels’ is unique live experience at Nottingham Contemporary that will explore how people and robots can interact.

A plant scientist from the ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ has been recognised for his pioneering research into root biology that is helping to understand how plants react in soil to challenging climate conditions.

A ‘public restaurant’ will be piloted in Nottingham as part of a new research project that will evaluate if this approach can help improve public health and wellbeing by providing everyone with access to high-quality food.

A ÌÇÐÄÔ­´´ Technical Manager has received a prestigious award for excellence in sustainability, recognising his work to embed environmental practice into research.
