Recent results from EUROfusion’s JET experiment have demonstrated sustained high fusion power for the first time. These ground-breaking results could pave the way for fusion energy to play a key role in tackling climate change.
Ages: 14-16, 16-19;
Why is food sold in packaging? Do we really need it? And if so, what materials are best? These questions are more complex than they seem and the answers may surprise you.
Ages: 11-14, 14-16, 16-19;
Clearing up chemistry: household products like nail polish remover and laundry detergent can be used to demonstrate chemical concepts like intermolecular forces and redox reactions.
Ages: 11-14, 14-16, 16-19;
Blinded by the light: We rely on lights to see in the dark, but did you know that light pollution has serious environmental consequences?
Ages: 11-14, 14-16, 16-19;
From ancient bacteria to humans, cyclic dinucleotide second messenger signalling molecules are key to lifestyle regulation and disease. This makes them an attractive target for new medicines.
