The University of °Â²¹°ù·É¾±³¦°ì’s pioneering Self-Enforcing E-Voting (SEEV) technology has been successfully used in a real-world election for the first time at the UNITA Students Assembly elections, assuring accuracy and verifiability of the vote tally while preserving anonymity.

A research team led by David Rand at The ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ and James Briscoe at the Francis Crick Institute have been awarded over £1.3 million from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) to establish a rulebook that defines the decision-making processes by which cells determine their fate or ‘type’.

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ research has shown that the cognitive slowness and disjointedness that comes with aging can be better explained as a symptom of a brain that knows too much (‘cluttered wisdom’) instead of the consequence of cognitive decline.

Researchers and alumni from The ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, working as part of an European Space Agency (ESA) led team, have discovered that the magnetar SGR 0501+4516 did not originate from a nearby supernova, as previously thought.

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ astronomers have discovered an extremely rare, high mass, compact binary star system only ~150 light years away. These two stars are on a collision course to explode as a type 1a supernova, appearing 10 times brighter than the moon in the night sky.

The ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½'s Institute for Employment Research (IER) has been awarded £1.5 million by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) to lead a major study on job quality and health.
