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.

Space-worm Caenorhabditis elegans may lead the way to Mars.

Researchers at the Ningpo, China campus of the University of Nottingham (UNNC) have created a new heat-regulating material that could be used to cut the heating and cooling costs of buildings.

Scientists have managed to bring cancer cells back under control by reactivating the cells’ cancer suppressor genes using an extract from axolotl oocytes.
