The hydrogen rainbow

Hydrogen production is variable in how eco-friendly it is. This blog explores the various ways in which hydrogen is produced.

Hydrogen power is an exciting technology that is likely to be vital for us to achieve a low-carbon or net-zero society. Hydrogen energy is stored in fuel cells, providing us […]

The cold, dark secrets of the Universe in few-body physics

The AMO physics group at Stony Brook University uses few-body physics, cold and ultracold chemistry as well as machine learning to study fundamental problems in the research field.

Understanding fundamental processes in physics, particularly physics beyond the Standard Model, is no easy task. Experiments and theories looking for new general theories to describe many of the phenomena that […]

Cleft lip simulation: A step closer to achieving surgical excellence

Dr Rogers-Vizena and her collaborators developed a surgical simulation model for cleft lip repair.

Surgical training is a long and laborious process, traditionally performed by learning to operate on actual patients under a senior surgeon’s supervision. However, with surgical techniques getting ever more sophisticated […]

Valuable insights into caring for women with heavy menstrual bleeding

Professor Joe Kai and collaborators study women’s experiences of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and its treatment.

Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common problem for women, but that doesn’t make it necessarily bearable. Its symptoms can be debilitating. Significant research by Professor Joe Kai and a […]

Empowering communities in the face of grand challenges: The critical role of local food systems and democratized science

Dr William Lacy examines how local food systems and democratized science might secure an equitable and sustainable food system.

Feeding a rapidly growing global population is nearly impossible. Food production is increasingly controlled by powerful organizations, climate change is negatively impacting food production, inequality is growing globally, and menacing […]

Back to the future: The Secret of Kells brings the past to life

Lisabeth C Buchelt specialises in medieval and nineteenthcentury British and Irish literary and cultural studies and examines how a modern animation, The Secret of Kells, brings the medieval Irish landscape alive.

It’s tempting to think that our global, multimedia age is the most multicultural and visually literate in history. However, a new study by Lisabeth Buchelt, of the University of Nebraska—Omaha […]

Predicting and managing flood risks from extreme rain events in Japan

Shakti P.C. uses flood inundation mapping, hydrological modelling, and other advanced techniques based on a near real-time approach to improve flood resilience and adaptation to extreme rain events.

Japan has seen an increase in extreme rain events in recent years, resulting in catastrophic flooding with substantial loss of human life and destruction of property. As climate change is […]

When less is more: Downscaling climate data for improved modelling

Fullhart’s primary research interests are in hydrological modelling and hydroclimatology.

Accurate climate modelling requires long-term, high-resolution, and high-quality time series data. However, such datasets are often not available, especially in the Global South. Dr Andrew Fullhart (US Department of Agriculture) […]
