This project investigates the sense of whisker touch in mammals. Specifically, trying to understand why whiskers are shaped the way they are, and how this is associated with their function. Read more…
Metal reinforcements to polymer matrix composites (PMCs) provide enhanced architectural freedom and functional capabilities at low costs, however, weak interfacial bonding limits their applications. In our previous work, Plasma Electrolytic Read more…
Conventional x-ray imaging is useful for separating materials according to their density or composition, based on differing levels of attenuation. However, this is averaged within a voxel, and information on Read more…
The thymus plays a crucial role in the human immune system. Thus, characterising its 3D structure is important to improve our understanding. Through the NXCT, we assessed the capabilities of Read more…
Year 10 students, working with a researcher from UCL, learnt about the principles of x-ray imaging. The NXCT facilities were used as a learning tool to produce pedagogical material and Read more…
A key function of healthy peatlands is their ability to sequester and store carbon. It is estimated that peat lands sequester ~500 million annually and store ~550-612 billion tonnes worldwide. Read more…
