Northumbria University has announced a multi-million pound investment in its first university-wide high-performance computing facility which will give researchers access to state-of-the-art technology built to handle large scientific datasets at high speeds.
The North East space sector has received a 2.5 million investment from EPSRC, establishing the North East Space Communications Accelerator (NESCA) to enhance research, innovation, and skills in space technology, aiming to create jobs and stimulate economic growth over four years.
Pupils from schools across the North East have had a taste of out-of-this-world career prospects, thanks to a unique event.
The SAT-Guard project aims to leverage satellite technology to enhance energy management and restore power following extreme weather events. Funded by UK Research and Innovation, it seeks to improve grid resilience and coordination of distributed energy resources across the UK.
Professor John Woodward has been named the North East’s top business person of the year for his work to develop the new £50 million North East Space Skills and Technology Centre at Northumbria University.
A team of scientists have successfully carried out regular measurements of the outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere for the first time – giving us a much better understanding of the magnetic field within this region, known as the solar corona.
The Sun’s magnetic field plays a key role in shaping its atmosphere, with activity such as solar eruptions and the heating of the corona to millions o
A Northumbria University space researcher has received a major award for her research into plasma physics from the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Publishing.
Since the 1960s, astronomers have wondered how the Sun’s supersonic “solar wind,” a stream of energetic particles that flows out into the Solar System, continues to receive energy once it leaves the Sun. Now, thanks to a fortunate line up of two spacecraft currently in space studying the Sun, they may have discovered the answer.
Judges at the North East Business Awards have named Professor John Woodward as the Business Person of the Year for Northumberland and Tyneside for his work to develop the new North East Space Skills and Technology Centre at Northumbria University.
Visitors to Newcastle's Life Science Centre can participate in a study to help astronauts on the Artemis Moon exploration program. By applying K-tape to astronauts’ ankles, it is believed balance on the Moon's surface can be improved. Results will be shared with the European Space Agency. Northumbria University is leading space innovation.
The Summer 2024 edition of Northumbria University’s newspaper is available to collect on campus or read online now.
Scientists using data from the Solar Orbiter spacecraft have made progress in understanding the origins of the 'slow' solar wind, shedding light on how it forms and leaves the Sun. This research helps explain the variability and complexity of the solar wind, providing new insights into its behavior and composition.
