A British charity just announced a bold five-year plan to invest £24.3 million in brain tumour research, building on 17 years of progress that's already contributed nearly £80 million to finding cures. One in three people knows someone affected by this devastating disease, and now there's a clear roadmap to accelerate breakthroughs.
A PhD researcher recorded nearly 100 hours of interviews with government scientists from Britain's once-thriving public research centers, capturing a forgotten era when 5% of science graduates joined prestigious labs that changed the world. These recordings now live in the British Library, preserving stories of innovation, curiosity, and purpose-driven work.
A major tech partnership will accelerate AI-powered breakthroughs across medicine, climate science, and engineering while strengthening Britain's AI independence. AMD and Imperial College London are joining forces to help researchers solve some of the world's biggest challenges.
Since the United Kingdom rejoined Horizon Europe in 2024, cross-border research is delivering breakthrough technologies that make automated vehicles safer in bad weather and create brain-inspired AI that uses a fraction of normal energy. These collaborations are proving that complex global challenges need international expertise working together.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham personally responded to a 25-year-old swimmer's tearful plea for brain cancer funding, inviting him to meet at Downing Street. Archie Goodburn's passionate advocacy is pushing for real change in how the UK treats rare cancers.
The UK just funded 12 teams building AI scientists that design and run experiments on their own, from chemistry to battery research. These systems could speed up scientific discovery by handling the grunt work while human researchers focus on the big questions.
Ten years after Brexit threatened to shatter European research collaboration, UK scientists are finding their way back into the fold. Funding shares are climbing, exchange programs are restarting, and the bridge between British and European labs is rebuilding.
New research from UK universities shows that switching to electric buses works best when done route by route, not all at once. The breakthrough could help cities worldwide save money while cutting emissions.
Babies born with Hirschsprung disease face a lifetime of surgeries because they're missing vital nerves in their digestive system. Now a UK research team has created a revolutionary stem cell therapy that could offer a permanent cure.
Half a million Britons who volunteered for a groundbreaking health study two decades ago can finally help researchers solve medical mysteries. After years of bureaucratic delays, their complete medical records are now accessible to scientists studying diseases and aging.
Babies born without vital gut nerves may soon receive a permanent cure instead of repeated surgeries. UK researchers created lab-grown stem cells that restore digestive function in just six days.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
Bruno Peek, who served as Queen Elizabeth II's pageant master for 40 years, is auctioning six historic royal ceremonial items to raise money for Cancer Research UK. The collection includes torches and artifacts from milestone celebrations expected to fetch up to £180,000 total.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
A new AI system from China's Zhejiang University just claimed the top spot on an international test for autonomous scientific research, beating out major competitors. The breakthrough shows how AI is getting better at thinking through complex research problems independently.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
Billions in private donations are accelerating life-saving medical discoveries that might otherwise take decades or never happen. From cancer treatments to brain disease research, philanthropic funding is helping researchers pursue bold ideas with the flexibility government grants can't provide.
A major review of vaccine trials reveals that care home residents, despite being most vulnerable to infections, have been systematically excluded from the very trials testing vaccines designed for them. Scientists are now calling for mandatory inclusion to ensure safety and effectiveness for this at-risk population.
