º£½ÇºÚÁÏ

Astronaut costumes, air rockets and a light up brain room are some of the exciting activities being delivered by researchers from the º£½ÇºÚÁÏ as part of the Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity that returns next week.

A º£½ÇºÚÁÏ PhD student has beaten global competition to be named the People’s Choice winner at the Universitas21 Global Three Minute Thesis (U21 3MT®) competition.

The º£½ÇºÚÁÏ’s Power Electronics, Machines and Control (PEMC) Research Group has been announced as a member of the Chilean Institute of Clean Technologies, making it the first UK institution to join the programme.

Led by the Institute for Aerospace Technology, the º£½ÇºÚÁÏ is celebrating being announced as the first UK university to become an Associated Member of the Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking (CAJU) – the EU’s leading research and innovation programme for making the aviation industry ready for a sustainable future.

A partnership that pairs researchers from the º£½ÇºÚÁÏ with a UK manufacturer is set to strengthen the company’s competitive edge, by creating new capability and in-house-expertise in clean energy.

A material that could replace current fungicides, increase food security, and help protect wildlife has been discovered.

Models, maquettes and the first page of a 3D printed book have gone on display at the º£½ÇºÚÁÏ’s PEMC building, produced by the university’s Artist in Residence – Jo Fairfax.

The º£½ÇºÚÁÏ’s Department of Architecture and Built Environment has been selected to feature in The Future of Engineering – a new multimedia initiative presented by media and communications specialist St James’s House in association with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).

A partnership, which paired researchers from the º£½ÇºÚÁÏ with a UK tech company, has produced a highly advanced power converter to drive an electric motor that could revolutionise the manufacturing and renewable energy industries.

The º£½ÇºÚÁÏ, in collaboration with Loughborough University, has been selected to receive a significant funding boost from East Midlands Freeport to accelerate the translation of zero carbon research into high-impact commercial and policy solutions.
