UK scientists have played a key role in solving a neutrino mystery that has challenged researchers for decades. Scientists, including researchers from several UK universities, working on the MicroBooNE experiment have found no evidence of a long-suspected fourth type of neutrino, known as the ‘sterile neutrino’. The experiment was carried out at the US Department […]

Together, they are combining the Hartree Centre’s expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing with Quantum Dice’s cutting-edge quantum random number generator (QRNG) and probabilistic computing technologies. QRNG technology uses the unpredictability of quantum physics to produce true randomness, which is set to become an increasingly important factor in critical decision making for industry. […]

We’re funding up to an additional £8.5 million to expand our ‘early independence’ Career Development Award (CDA) and Clinical Scientist Fellowship (CSF) schemes. This will make it easier for international researchers to build independent careers in the UK. MRC fellowships Fellows are central to the UK’s research ecosystem; they bring fresh ideas and drive curiosity-led […]
