Twelve University of Cambridge researchers have won advanced grants from the European Research Council (ERC), Europe’s premier research funding body. Their work is set to provide new insights into many subjects, such as how to deal with vast scales of data in a statistically robust way, the development of energy-efficient materials for a zero-carbon world, and the development of new treatments for degenerative disease and cancer. Cambridge has the most grant winners of any UK institution, and the second-most winners overall.

Researchers have found that certain organic semiconducting materials can transport spin faster than they conduct charge, a phenomenon which could eventually power faster, more energy-efficient computers. 

A new class of low-cost polymer materials, which can carry electric charge with almost no losses despite their seemingly random structure, could lead to flexible electronics and displays which are faster and more efficient.

The Royal Society has awarded three University academics for their ground-breaking research that will help to forward the future of science. 

Solar energy company to develop and manufacture high performance, lower cost plastic solar cells.

The path from innovation to impact can be long and complex. Here we describe the fascinating story behind the development of a new type of electronic reader.

A new initiative funded by the Carbon Trust hopes to make solar power an affordable choice for homeowners within 10 years.
