Professor Tom Stallard, a Planetary Astronomer from Northumbria University, has been granted access to the James Webb Space Telescope to study and capture images of the auroras on gas giants Saturn and Uranus. This unique opportunity will provide unprecedented insight into these spectacular light shows and planetary atmospheres.
Researchers are delving into the evolutionary mystery of early bacterial life on Earth, investigating why most bacteria have two membranes surrounding their cells. This new project, funded by the BBSRC, aims to recreate ancient microbial evolution in a laboratory setting to shed light on this important question in biological history.
Dr Andy Smith, a solar physicist at Northumbria University, has been honored by the Royal Astronomical Society for his work in using artificial intelligence to predict space weather. His models are used by the Met Office for space weather forecasts. Smith was awarded the Winton Award for his use of AI techniques to monitor and predict solar eruptions and their impact on Earth.
Space health experts at Northumbria University have won a global competition that will enable them to explore blood flow restriction training among astronauts during spaceflight.
Investments from Lockheed Martin, the UK Space Agency and Northumbria University forge pathway for NESST’s global prominence.
After more than 30 years scientists have finally been able to confirm that the icy planet Uranus has an infrared aurora.The discovery will provide insight into how magnetic fields on ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune behave and could even help astronomers use NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to identify similar aurorae from planets outside our solar system.The findings were made b
In an article written for the Conversation, Jan De Rydt, Associate Professor of Polar Glaciology and Oceanography at Northumbria University, along with Ocean-Ice Modeller Kaitlin Naughten and Ocean and Ice Scientist Paul Holland, both from the British Antarctic Survey, discuss their recent research findings on the warming of the West Antarctic ice sheet.
