Lancaster University (legally the University of Lancaster) is a collegiate public research university in Lancaster, Lancashire, England
Drones show the evidence that the Greenland ice sheet is getting more unstable as it fractures
The world’s second-largest ice sheet, and the single largest contributor to global sea level rise, is potentially becoming unstable because of fractures developing in response to faster ice flow and more meltwater forming on its surface. Using custom-built drones strong enough to withstand the extreme Arctic conditions, researchers led by the University of Cambridge made
Real-time insight into wearers’ emotions provided by new smart materials
Smart wearable technology that changes colour, heats up, squeezes or vibrates as your emotions are heightened has the potential to help people with affective disorders better control their feelings. Researchers from Lancaster University’s School of Computing and Communications have worked with smart materials on wrist-worn prototypes that can aid people diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and
The invention of universal computer memory could solve the digital technology energy crisis
A new type of computer memory which could solve the digital technology energy crisis has been invented and patented by Lancaster scientists. The electronic memory device – described in research published in Scientific Reports – promises to transform daily life with its ultra-low energy consumption. In the home, energy savings from efficient lighting and appliances have been completely
Nuclear decommissioning robots
Lancaster University engineers are developing computer systems for robots dealing with hazardous nuclear waste. The software will make the robots semi-autonomous – simplifying human control, which has to be done remotely due to the highly radioactive environments in which the robots operate. The software has the potential to significantly speed-up decommissioning operations, while also retaining
Superfast data processing using light pulses instead of electricity
Superfast data processing using light pulses instead of electricity has been created by scientists. The invention uses magnets to record computer data which consume virtually zero energy, solving the dilemma of how to create faster data processing speeds without the accompanying high energy costs. Today’s data centre servers consume between 2 to 5% of global
