...energy to support microbial life of the kind that inhabits hot springson Earth. Given that the cones in this study are at least 200 million-year-old, they are unlikely to host life today, but they would be good targets to search for fossilised microbes with minimal risk of contaminating an active ecosystem.

...energy and a fresher mind. I learned about meeting tough deadlines, untangling a complex topic and writing to a prescribed style and format. I also worked for a day at the Nuffield Foundation, including giving what they call a ‘lunch and learn’ talk about the work I’d done at POST, which started some new connections and links with new networks for me. I’ve never...

...local and national open data, data streams from both key infrastructure networks (energy, transport, water) and other relevant sensor networks (e.g. weather and pollution data), data crowdsourced from social media and mobile applications. First, smart city developments provide data to human actors in urban governance networks for decision-support purposes. In contrast, AI-based technologies draw upon all manner of ......

...a Professor in Inorganic Electrochemistry at the University of Edinburgh. Her research focusses on the redox properties of compounds many of which contain a transition metal. Such properties find many applications from solar energy conversion to catalytic processes and chemical biology pathways. She was awarded an honorary degree from The Open University in November 2014....
