- Bacteria pave the way for paint that produces oxygen whilst capturing carbon
An innovative paint that contains oxygen-producing bacteria capable of capturing carbon dioxide has been created by scientists from the University of Surrey. Researchers suggest this paint, known a... - A sweeter, more environmentally friendly alternative to sugar
Natural sweeteners derived from stevia may produce as little as 10% of the greenhouse gas emissions of sugar while still providing the same level of sweetness, according to new research from the Un...
- More efficient next-generation solar panels could soon be ready for mass production
The Surrey team found that fusing perovskite materials with an element called Ferrocene dramatically increases the efficiency of perovskite-based solar panels. The team found that this focus on the... - Nanoparticles that mimic plant pigment to deliver better solar panels
A team of engineers and biologists from the University of Surrey have synthesised nanoparticles that mimic what chlorophyll does in nature - absorb light and convert it to usable energy with high e...
- Turning wastewater from coffee production into electricity
Delegates at COP26 will drink an estimated 250,000 cups of coffee over the two-week event, according to the caterers, Levy UK. None of us want to give up our daily cup of Joe, yet wastewater from p... - How acid damages teeth
The University of Surrey and the School of Dentistry at the University of Birmingham have developed a new technique to improve understanding of how acid damages teeth at the microstructural level. ... - New insights into the mechanism of nuclear fission
Nuclear scientists from the University of Surrey and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have contributed to an international research collaboration to show how the angular momentum of the two f...
- The world's first neutron-rich, radioactive tantalum ions
An international team of scientists has unveiled the world's first production of a purified beam of neutron-rich, radioactive tantalum ions. This development could now allow for lab-based experimen... - Grapefruit inspires the creation of the world's first non-cuttable material
In an article published by Nature, the team detail how they were influenced by the tough skin of grapefruit and the Amazonian Arapaima fish to create an artificial material that cannot be cut with ... - Experimental fingerprint detection using Mass-Spectroscopy
An experimental fingerprint detection approach can identify traces of cocaine on human skin, even after someone has washed their hands - and the test is also smart enough to tell whether an individ... - Fluor Pilot Plant goes digital
The new app enables the user to learn the whole chemical engineering process by operating a simulated plant environment which matches the real Fluor Pilot Plant at Surrey. On the app, users are abl...
- Green tea could hold the key to reducing antibiotic resistance
Scientists at the University of Surrey have discovered that a natural antioxidant commonly found in green tea can help eliminate antibiotic resistant bacteria. The study, published in the Journa...
- Drug-producing bacteria possible with synthetic biology breakthrough
During this innovative study researchers discovered how to dynamically manage the allocation of essential resources inside engineered cells - advancing the potential of synthetically programming ce...
- 10-second HIV test linked to mobile phones
The University of Surrey, working with colleagues at University College London, the Africa Health research Institute (South Africa), OJ-Bio (Newcastle), QV (holdings (Netherlands) and the Japan Rad... - First large scale study of cocaine users leads to breakthrough in drug testing
Scientists from the University of Surrey have developed a rapid and highly sensitive fingerprint test that can take just seconds to confirm whether someone has used cocaine. This new breakthrough, ... - Monitor and remove pharmaceuticals from water
The research involves the detection and removal of pharmaceuticals in or from water, as contamination from pharmaceuticals can enter the aquatic environment as a result of their use for the treatme... - Environmentally-friendly alternative to genetically-modified crops and chemical pesticide
The breakthrough research could have huge benefits for agriculture and positively impact communities around the world. Plant pests and pathogens are estimated to reduce global crop yields by 30 to ...
