Titanium powder production for additive manufacturing (AM) in commercial aerospace is highly inefficient. The most widely used production route, Electrode Induction Gas Atomisation (EIGA), generates a broad powder size range, but only a small portion is suitable for AM. As a result, **around 75% of the powder produced falls outside specification and becom...

MORSE.02 -- MOFs for Reduction of Ship Emissions is an innovative, collaborative project led by C‑MAT Technologies in partnership with University College London (UCL) and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). The project aims to develop and demonstrate an advanced onboard carbon capture system that significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions...

UK Partners' MapMortar and UCL, as well as South Korea partners', Phase 2 demonstrator builds on an exceptionally successful Phase 1 feasibility study, transforming groundbreaking business-led R&D and proof-of-concept innovations into real-world deployment and testing. Phase 1 proved the technical feasibility of integrating AI with physics-based Urban Bui...

In colorectal surgery, the surgeon removes the tumour-affected bowel section and reconnects the two healthy bowel ends to form an 'anastomosis'. An insufficient oxygenated blood flow to the reconnected bowel can lead to anastomotic leaks (AL). Patients with AL have the risks: * 19.7% being readmitted for further treatment chance * 19.3% getting an infecti...

Leveraging the power of cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI), Navigo combines innovative technology with world-class educational research to create an engaging, adaptive, and personalised learning experience. Build...

The SiQEC (Silicon Quantum Error Correction) project aims to deliver the first demonstration of a spin-based quantum computing system capable of implementing repeated rounds of quantum error correction (QEC) - a critical milestone toward fault-tolerant quantum computing. This collaboration between Quantum Motion and University College London will introduc...

Our network will focus on assisting the efficient and safe availability of medical diagnostic tests in the UK, by building a collaborative network of regulators, industry, people living with disease and users of tests and researchers. Efficient regulation of diagnostic tests not only assists patient and consumer safety, but also improves the nation's heal...

Diabetes is a common co-morbidity among people living with HIV. Since Oct 2021, we have been conducting a phase III randomised placebo-controlled trial of metformin among people living with HIV and pre-diabetes in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (EDCTP RIA2018CO-2513). The aim isto test whether metformin can prevent progression to diabetes among people living wit...

The world is facing the silent “pandemic” of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Central Africa has the highest mortality rate (23.5 deaths/ 100,000) attributable to AMR in the world. Research is desperately needed to better understand the burden of AMR in this region, and it is vital that this work is done by local researchers who will be the future leaders ...

As a contributor of at least 3% of anthropogenic global carbon emissions, the maritime sector is experiencing extreme pressures to decarbonise, from IMO originated initiatives such as EEDI/EEXI/CII to regulatory efforts such as Emissions Trading Schemes and Fuel EU Maritime. While the industry is hoping for a drop-in replacement to fossil fuels, alternati...

The project aims to improve efficiency through the automation of the modelling of the energy performance of buildings in the construction sector and better forecast energy performance through machine learning of past building modelling data.
