Experts from our Department of Biosciences think this is a possibility after new research found that some species of trans-Saharan migratory birds, like Nightingales and Willow Warblers, are spending as many as 50-60 fewer days a year in their non-breeding grounds in Africa.

White dwarfs are what most stars become after burning off the hydrogen that fuels them. Now our astronomers have seen one of these galactic objects switching on and off for the first time.

We’re working on a new infrared light therapy that might have the potential to help people with dementia.

We’ve found new evidence of the first known research paper to be published in a British medical journal by an African American.

One of our Law professors will play a key role in the review of professional values, knowledge and behaviours expected of UK medics.

Did you know that the giant galaxies we see today grew from tiny fluctuations imprinted in the very first instants in the life of our universe?

Have you ever wondered what the heart of a galaxy looks like? Or what is really going on in a super-massive black hole? Well now, an international team of astronomers led by our very own Dr Leah Morabito, has revealed the most detailed-ever radio images of galaxies at frequencies around the FM radio band.

Professor Simone Scaringi, from our Department of Physics, has been part of an international study calculating the size of Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) by looking at their feeding patterns.

Our mathematicians are helping to unravel the knotty problem of how solar energy is injected into the Sun’s atmosphere before being released into space.

Our astronomers are part of an international team building a new kind of telescope.

We’ve appointed a leading expert in the safeguarding of young people at risk of abuse as a professor in our Department of Sociology.

One of our professors has used genetics to identify the birthplace of a grey whale which was discovered nearly halfway round the world from its native habitat, a new record for the longest recorded distance for a marine mammal, fish or reptile.
