UK politicians’ approach to climate change has shifted dramatically over time from cautious support delivered ‘by stealth’ to a more open approach described as ‘pragmatism’.

Dr Lefteris Danos of @LancUniChem has reviewed the development of photosensitised silicon solar cells, a technology that merges the robustness of silicon with the light-harvesting ability of molecular dyes.

Farmed salmon has become the UK’s most eaten seafood, but new Lancaster University research reveals its popularity has been driven by deliberate strategies from retailers and industry, and has not raised overall fish consumption.

Researchers have found the first direct evidence that tiny particles of air pollution stick to our red blood cells, meaning they can travel freely around the body.

Lancaster University has created a new spinout company, Photarix, to pioneer secure communications in the quantum era. Quantum Key Distribution is a super-secure way to encrypt data that makes eavesdropping impossible.
