  A university researcher has been given a prestigious award for her pioneering work on the production of a computer algorithm to precisely pinpoint the location and size of cancerous tumours in the human body.

Researchers from the Cardiff Catalysis Institute have devised a way of increasing the yield of biodiesel by using the waste left over from its production process.

  At the recent 20th International Conference on Composite Materials (ICCM) and in conjunction with Haydale, researchers from Cardiff University presented the results from an in-depth study titled Developing Component-Scale Hierarchical Composites Using Nanocarbons.

Experts from the Welsh School of Architecture have designed and built the UK's first purpose-built, low-cost energy smart house, capable of exporting more energy to the national electricity grid than it uses. The house, designed by Professor Phil Jones and his team based at the Welsh School of Architecture, has been built as a prototype to meet tough new targets for zero carbon housing set by UK Government.

A £17.3m award that will put Cardiff University at the cutting edge of semiconductor technology has been announced by the UK Government. Funding unveiled on 25th March by Universities Minister Greg Clark MP will underpin the Compound Semiconductor Research Foundation - the first of its kind in the UK, with potential to become one of the leading clusters in Europe.

Growth is expected to drive up energy demand in Bangladesh, however domestic reserves of conventional fuels are dwindling. A web-based computer model to help the country to get to grips with its energy needs has been developed by Cardiff University. An open, interactive computer model will enable policy makers in one of the world’s most densely populated countries - or anyone else - to consider different approaches to the country’s en...
