Upgrading our view of Growing Older: Mapping Brain Changes across the Lifespan with Ultra High Field Multi-Spectral MRI
The initial data transmitted from the James Webb Space Telescope have recently dramatically reminded the world that scientific understanding can be transformed by the improvement o...
Supporting 19F-centered NMR investigations across a range of biological applications
The fluorine atom is almost never found in the natural molecules of life e.g. peptides, proteins, nucleic acids and enzyme cofactors. Therefore, carefully installing fluorine atoms...
Collaborative Research: NSFGEO-NERC: The history of the Earth's magnetic field strength over the last five million years: Filling in the southern hemisphere gap
Earth's magnetic field, generated in the Earth’s core, plays a vital role in our daily lives. It not only guides compass needles, but it also acts as a protective shield, deflectin...
MAMMOTH ARCTIC PATHS (MAP): Interdisciplinary Research into the Movement Ecology and Biogeography of an Iconic Arctic Animal through Environmental Change.
Information about how Arctic ecosystems in the past responded to changes, like past periods of warming, is exceedingly valuable because it can reveal the results from a series of n...
Collaborative Research: Interactions of Sustainable Urban Design with Gentrification Processes
