£3.6 Million to examine competitive advantage in the Global Economy
The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) has awarded Warwick £3.6 million to create a new Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy (CAGE).
Nanoparticles Double Their Chances of Getting Into Sticky Situations
Researchers have found that tiny nanoparticles could be twice as likely to stick to the interface of two non mixing liquids than previously believed. This opens up a range of new possibilities for the uses of nanoparticles in living cells, polymer composites, and high-tech foams, gels, and paints.
University of Warwick ranked in top ten in UK for research
The results of the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) again reiterate the University of Warwick’s position as one of the UK’s leading research universities, with Warwick ranked at 7th overall in the UK and top in the Midlands.
University Warwick installs head of CBI as new Chancellor
The University of Warwick will formally install CBI Director-General Richard Lambert as its new Chancellor, on the evening of Wednesday 10th December in the Theatre of Warwick Arts Centre.
Warwick drives forward new bone implant technology for tissue engineering
A method of producing synthetic bone, using techniques normally used to make catalytic converters for cars, is being developed by researchers at WMG at the University of Warwick.
Polymers “battered” with nanoparticles could create self healing paints and clever packaging
Research chemists at the University of Warwick have devised an elegant process which simply and cheaply covers small particles of polymer with a layer of silica-based nanoparticles. The final result provides a highly versatile material that can be used to create a range of high performance materials such as; self healing paints, and clever packaging that can be tailored to let precise levels of water, air or both pass in a particular direction.
