Transforming global health equality with synthetic antibodies
The University of Warwick’s new STEM Connect programme marks a bold step forward in interdisciplinary research and global impact. STEM Connect is part of the wider Connect Programme harnessing our power in research, education, and innovation across Social Sciences and STEM to ignite real-world progress - within our region, for our nation and at a global scale.
Powering a greener future with silicon carbide
The University of Warwick’s ambitious STEM Connect programme, part of a landmark investment in its West Midlands campus, is shining a spotlight on pioneering research shaping the future. One such innovation lies in a material that may be unfamiliar to many, but is quietly powering a revolution in clean energy and electric transport: silicon carbide (SiC).
WMG’s research helps ensure a ‘second life’ for Nissan’s EV batteries
Even batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) have a limited lifespan, so what happens once they can no longer be used in cars? Well, thanks to The University of Warwick’s WMG technology experts, these Lithium-ion batteries, which still retain sufficient energy and power capability after usage, can be graded quickly and used for ‘second life’ applications – some of which are in renewable energy sources.
Digital scanning brings ancient Venetian artefacts to life
‘Holding history in your hands’ may be the ideal way to understand the past more closely, but only a lucky few will have the opportunity to physically touch and experience ancient artefacts. Now, using the latest in digital scanning, 3D printing and virtual reality (VR) technology, researchers from WMG at The University of Warwick have devised an innovative solution.
Groundbreaking technology ‘sniffs out’ infection
For many centuries, physicians used the smell of a patient to diagnose disease – the “fruity” smell of people with diabetes or, more recently, the reported cases of dogs knowing when their owners have cancer.
Now, a team of researchers from The University of Warwick’s School of Engineering are using their expertise in electronically replicating the sense of smell, known as artificial olfaction, to help identify a variety of medical conditions.
