A research collaboration between the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge, Queen Mary ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of London and the Institute for High Pressure Physics in Troitsk has discovered the fastest possible speed of sound.

Researchers have developed a method to ‘squeeze’ visible light in order to see inside tiny memory devices. ̽»¨Ö±²¥technique will allow researchers to probe how these devices break down and how their performance can be improved for a range of applications.

Researchers at Cambridge, Imperial and Singapore have developed a method to print ultrathin coatings on next-generation solar cells, allowing them to work in tandem with silicon solar cells to boost efficiencies.

Researchers pinpoint the origin of defects that sap the performance of next-generation solar technology.

Four researchers at the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge have won advanced grants from the European Research Council (ERC), Europe’s premier research funding body.

How do we shift our 'take, make, throw-away' plastic world towards 'recycle, recover, re-use'? It's time for blue-sky thinking plus practical measures in the battle to reduce plastic waste. 

Researchers at Cambridge are working with Rolls-Royce to make aeroengines greener. 

A promising replacement for the toxic and flammable greenhouse gases that are used in most refrigerators and air conditioners has been identified by researchers from the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge.

Sheen Gurrib is a PhD candidate in the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, where she is researching ways to improve chronic lower back pain. Here, she tells us about working with refugees to help them get into Cambridge, the importance of collaboration, and why her research has involved searching through butcher shops.

To mark LGBTSTEM Day, celebrating lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer scientists, engineers and mathematicians around the world, our researchers tell us why celebrating diversity is important – and why identities really do matter.
