Cancer researchers in the UK may have stumbled across a solution to reverse antibiotic drug resistance and stop infections like MRSA. Experts warn we are decades behind in the race against superbugs having already exploited naturally occurring antibiotics, with the creation of new ones requiring time, money and ingenuity. But a team of scientists at the University of Salford say they may have found a very simple way forward – even...

Physicists at the University of Salford, along with 12 international partners, have launched a research project that aims to develop novel types of photovoltaic (PV) cell. The cells will use so-called perovskite PV technology, which has the potential to be both low-cost and extremely efficient. The €5 million project, entitled CHEOPS, aims to upscale promising initial trials of the technology to industrial and commercial levels.
