Since its discovery in 2004, scientists have believed that graphene may have the innate ability to superconduct. Now Cambridge researchers have found...

When solids flow like liquids they can make sand dunes sing, and they can also result in a potentially deadly avalanche. Cambridge researchers are...

A new design for transistors which operate on ‘scavenged’ energy from their environment could form the basis for devices which function for months or...

Researchers have built a record energy-efficient switch, which uses the interplay of electricity and a liquid form of light, in semiconductor...

The cities of today are built with concrete and steel – but some Cambridge researchers think that the cities of the future need to go back to nature...

The Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction is building on advances in sensing technology to learn everything possible about a city’s...

In the search for low emission plant-based fuels, new research may help avoid having to choose between growing crops for food or fuel.

Today, we commence a month-long focus on the future of cities. To begin, Doug Crawford-Brown, Robert Mair and Koen Steemers describe the challenges...
