University of Warwick proposes new quality and safety regulations report for micromobility vehicles
The UK is the last major Western economy not to legislate ‘Powered Micro Vehicles’. The University of Warwick wants to change that and has proposed a new set of regulations for allowing micromobility vehicles, such as e-scooters to operate legally in the UK. The report looks at ways to improve the quality and safety of models available, as well as providing clear guidance for authorities to deal with unsafe behaviour.

World’s most powerful particle accelerator comes back to life
The Large Hadron Collider has been restarted successfully today, after undergoing significant upgrades with contributions from University of Warwick physicists.
Reducing patients’ breathing efforts could be key to success of non-invasive respiratory support in COVID-19 patients
Working with an international team of leading intensive care clinicians, engineering researchers at the University of Warwick have used computational modelling to show that non-invasive respiratory support is more likely to be successful if it allows significant reductions in patients’ breathing efforts.
