​Researchers have developed a groundbreaking technique that uses sound rather than light to see inside live cells. The new technique provides insight into the structure and behavior of cells that could rival the optical super-resolution techniques that won the 2014 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

​One of the more likely doomsday scenarios may be a future where our antibiotics become useless against a rising tide of “superbugs.” According to new research, predatory bacteria could be injected into the body to work with the immune system in hunting down harmful, antibiotic-resistant bugs.

Scientists have uncovered an alarming decline in the male dog fertility in a study that suggests sperm quality may have been impacted by contaminants in dog food. The scientists say the findings could possibly have some parallels with human fertility, as well.

Twenty years ago, the famous Dolly the sheep, the first large mammal successfully cloned from an adult cell, was born. Now four of her cloned​ offspring (twin sisters?) are providing science with a better understanding of the cloning process and showing that clones can live to a healthy old age.

​​A new, portable imaging system could have a big impact on doctors’ abilities to study patient tissue, both on a surface level, and further down. The technology combines optical and gamma imaging, and has already been successfully tested in a clinical pilot study.​

A team of researchers in the UK has found that a group of drugs currently used to treat conditions such as depression might also prove an effective means of combating emerging viruses.

A collaborative team of ESA and University of Nottingham (UK) researchers has used satnav sensors to monitor small movements in the Forth Road Bridge in Scotland, providing real-time information to help make the decision whether to close the bridge during extreme weather conditions.

Medical researchers from Keele and Nottingham Universities claim that coating magnetic nanoparticles with proteins and magnetically directing them to the site of an injury can help stimulate stem cells to regenerate broken bones without further surgery or external mechanical growth stimulation.

Researchers have discovered a new way to increase plant growth by suppressing the natural response to environmental stress. The scientists have found a modifier protein which can be used to interfere with the plants growth repression proteins.

A new process known as N-Fix allows virtually any plant to obtain nitrogen from the air, which could result in a huge reduction in the amount of fertilizer required to grow crops.

Scientists from Nottingham have announced that they've drafted in Sony to help with I-BiT, a research project seeking to treat lazy eye with video games and specially designed 3D glasses.

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have developed a new porous material called NOTT-300 that they claim is cheaper and more efficient than existing materials at capturing polluting gases from flue gas.
