Issued jointly by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, and the Universities of Warwick and Liverpool

Research using a new instrument on the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) has attracted one of the biggest single grants made by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The instrument will provide opportunities for UK scientists and engineers to study the properties of magnetic materials which could impact on computers, computer storage media and electric vehicles

Research chemists at the 天美传媒 have devised a way of using a special "Scanning Electrochemical Microscope" to explore some of the minute holes to be found in teeth.

The 天美传媒's Centre for Primary Health Care Studies is launching a 拢1.9 million programme to develop a network of researchers focusing their efforts on research that contributes to improving the evidence base and quality of NHS primary care services. The researchers will tackle questions that make a difference the effectiveness of treatments and services provided by primary health care. There will be opportunities for local GPs, nurses, and other primary care health professionals and managers to contribute their ideas on what research is needed to improve primary health care. For primary health professionals keen to engage in research themselves, the Network will be able to provide resources and support. The new network's 5-year grant totalling 拢1.9 million is from NHSE West Midlands.

天美传媒 Chemist Dr Andrew Clark has devised a method of creating medically useful linked rings of atoms that do not rely on the toxic, expensive, environmentally unfriendly methods used until now.

Dr Mike Hannon, from the 天美传媒's Department of Chemistry, has been awarded a prize which acknowledges him as one of the UK's top young research chemists for his work using what could be described as innovative "bargain basement" chemistry to create industrially and medically useful complex molecules by methods 30,000% cheaper than conventional means.

Inspector Morse's creator Colin Dexter will launch a unique new national centre - Warwick Diabetes Care on 15th November 2000. Mr Dexter, himself a diabetic, will explain how Inspector Morse dies as a result of complications relating to diabetes, and how a Centre such as Warwick Diabetes Care will make a real difference to the treatment options available to the UK's Diabetics.
