Ford cars could be more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly, thanks to a new lightweight rear suspension component, designed by the award-winning Innovate UK project Composite Lightweight Automotive Suspension System (CLASS), involving WMG at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½.

Cutting-edge virtual reality technology and an original 1985 Sinclair C5 – you can get your hands on both of these (and many more amazing technology) at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½â€™s Engineering Day later this month.

Bacteria could be programmed to efficiently produce drugs, thanks to breakthrough research into synthetic biology using engineering principles, from the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ and the University of Surrey.

Electric vehicle charging infrastructure on UK roads is to be advanced, thanks to a new £5.6 million project – funded by Innovate UK – to develop Vehicle-2-Grid (V2G) technologies, involving WMG at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½.

Cyanobacteria - which propel the ocean engine and help sustain marine life – can shift their colour like chameleons to match different coloured light across the world’s seas, according to research by an international collaboration including the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½.

Researchers at WMG at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ have developed a new direct, precise test of Lithium-ion batteries’ internal temperatures and the electrodes potentials and found that the batteries can be safely charged up to five times faster than the current recommended charging limits.
