LOOP converts agri-food waste into biopolymers for sustainable packaging, coatings and biofertilizers, reducing food waste, fossil materials and emissions through circular biotechnology.

The project aims to develop robust thin film piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems (TFPMEMS) for future advanced micro- and nanotechnological applications, implementing mitigation strategies to increase tolerance and prevent critical...

Increased use of large floating closed cages by increasing understanding of interactions between fish density, behaviour and hydrodynamics, and assessing failure mechanisms to ensure structural integrity.

Wildlife fences and wildlife crossings are expensive – and they have mixed results. Now researchers have studied what is needed to prevent cars and trains from colliding with animals.

Huge amounts of clothing are simply discarded, and almost nothing goes to reuse or recycling. But with sensors and artificial intelligence, textile waste can be sorted so carefully that far more could be recycled – and turned into new clothing.

The substructures for fixed offshore wind turbines weigh thousands of tonnes. If you are planning to install them at sea, only about five vessels in the world can lift that much weight. So now researchers are testing a completely new alternative.
