Leading UK researchers will work with international collaborators to develop the technologies of tomorrow through 12 projects announced today. They include: ultracold molecule quantum computing advanced emission sensors cyber-secure electric vehicles.
The National Innovation Centre for Data (NICD) has hosted a recording of a prestigious BBC Reith Lecture on the control of increasingly sophisticated AI systems. The fourth and final BBC 2021 Reith Lecture was recorded at the NICD and will be broadcast on the BBC on 22 December 2021.
Seven new feasibility studies will explore how digital technologies, business model innovation and analysis can reduce energy demand and carbon production. The studies, supported with a £340,000 investment from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Siemens, include using digital technologies to monitor and ultimately reduce emissions at ports and supermarkets.
One of the UK’s most eye-catching economic success stories has been south-west England’s emergence as a world-renowned powerhouse in the creative industries.
Researchers funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) are driving innovations in semiconductor disk laser technology, combining physics and optical engineering techniques.
Decades of EPSRC support for pioneering work at the University of Southampton has been vital to drive a thriving photonics cluster in and around the city – a cluster crucial to the UK’s ability to punch above its weight in this here-and-now yet firmly future-focused sector.
