The funding boost, announced today by universities and science minister David Willetts, represents an increase of more than £50m from last year. Technology areas that will benefit from the investment include renewable energy, future cities, advanced materials, satellites, digital tech...
The panels rely on actuators made of a piezoelectric material to measure the sound approaching them. They then convert changes in pressure into electricity to cancel it out. The researchers believe the panels could replace the heavy insulation materials currently used in aircraft fuse...
Now in their fifth year, the Awards aim to promote the quality of British engineering design and celebrate the UK companies and individuals that have demonstrated the skills, invention and dedication to succeed and compete on an international stage. The judging panel will this year be...
"The ideal scenario would be to have a charger powerful enough to charge a car in five to ten minutes, but this would cost over $100,000," said principal researcher Saeid Haghbin. "The question we posed was: how can we reduce the size, weight and price of the on-board charger." Since ...
Dear Paul, I appreciated your article today and the perspective you presented on the scarcity of women in engineering. What I didn't agree with was your conclusion that at 7% it is a "stark and shameful fact." I have three daughters and a son, and all are wired differently from me. Th...
The finished ear consists of a coiled antenna inside a cartilage structure made up of 3D printed cells, nanoparticles and cell culture. Two wires lead from the base of the ear and wind around a helical cochlea – the part of the ear that senses sound – which can connect to electrodes. ...
Of the 2,000 members of the public surveyed, 75% said that increasing the supply of science and engineering professionals was essential to the economic wellbeing of the UK, while some 72% said that boosting the UK's engineering, manufacturing and science sectors would help bring the U...
The initiative is part of the Royal Academy of Engineering's new Enterprise Hub, which launches today (29 April). The aim is to provide early stage companies with training and bespoke support to boost their business and the UK economy as a whole. Ian Shott, chair of the Enterprise Com...
