Fascination – The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) electronic newsletter.
Fascination – The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) electronic newsletter.
Some people on this mailing list will already know about Fascination, but for those that don’t I thought I would point it out as it’s a good way to find out how STFC and the 7 UK Science Research Councils work together to produce some really amazing science that is, and has, the potential to make a real difference to people’s lives and global challenges.
The next issue ‘STFC science in Healthcare’ is out now (http://www.stfc.ac.uk/resources/pdf/fascination9.pdf).
Some of the top stories include:
• Why lizards don’t freeze - Understanding the mysterious ‘anti freeze’ capabilities of glycerol used by lizards and in the manufacture of ice cream! Dougan research group, University of Leeds, EPSRC
• Portable X-ray machines - 20 times lighter and no bigger than a laptop! It will allow quick and easy access to patients. STFC, Radius Diagnostics Ltd
• Revolutionising cancer treatment - Confirmation of EMMA’s technology which could revolutionise cancer therapy and lead to cleaner, safer nuclear reactors in the future. EMMA, ASTeC, CONFORM project, BASROC
Fascination is distributed electronically to be environmentally friendly and cost effective. Sign up today at www.stfc.ac.uk/fascination and the next issue will arrive in your inbox as soon as it’s published!
