Research at the Gordon Laboratory is opening up an important new area for the surface engineering of materials.
Because of their unique structure, biological tissues exhibit physical and mechanical properties that are unlike anything in the world of engineering.
Taking their cue from the building blocks of life, Cambridge chemists are assembling polymers that move.
Creating circuits from multiple components is routine in engineering. Can living systems be constructed using similar principles?
Cambridge’s new NanoPhotonics Centre is creating novel properties of light and matter at the nanoscale.
At the Cambridge Centre for Medical Materials, a highly interdisciplinary approach is meeting the challenge of bioengineering new materials for the human body.
Only a single class of engineering materials can withstand the extreme conditions deep within a jet aeroplane engine – the nickel-base superalloys.
An industrial-grade aerospace gas turbine combustion simulator – the first of its kind in the UK and one of only a dozen worldwide – is...
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has signed its first agreement with the University to optimise the early clinical development of new GSK medicines for obesity and addictive disorders.
Many UK manufacturers have transferred their production to low-cost regions to reduce costs. But a new study has discovered that these savings are not as...
