Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Cardiac lymphatics in Heart Failure
Molecular profiling of cardiac lymphatics in health and disease reveals potential new targets to improve lymphatic drainage in the heart
Hydrogel–elastomer-based conductive nanomembranes for soft bioelectronics
With a total thickness of 350 nm, THIN remains structurally hard and self-supportive, yet upon hydration immediately self-adapts to microscopic topologies and directly integrates with living organisms, thereby bypassing the limitations of previous approaches.
Testing a nature-based family activity intervention for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
“In nature children find space to breathe"
We are exploring whether a nature activity box can be used in NHS Neurodiversity services following a child's ADHD diagnosis. We are working with families and staff members to see how easy it is to use and how it might help quality of life and wellbeing.
Molecular Electrolyte Design Enables Sodium Batteries with LIBs-parity Energy-Density and Improved Sustainability
The research landscape of metal (Li, Na, K) batteries has long been hindered by a paradox between ether and carbonate solvents, which hampers their development. This motivates us to explore new electrolyte chemistries that reconcile the conflicting requirements without sacrificing sustainability.
