A new paint that makes robust self-cleaning surfaces has been developed by a team led by UCL researchers. The coating can be applied to clothes, paper, glass and steel and when combined with adhesives, maintains its self-cleaning properties after being wiped, scratched with a knife and scuffed with sandpaper.
The fossil of Homo habilis, or ‘handy man’, has undergone state-of-the-art computer reconstruction, revealing new information about its jaw shape which indicates the species has older evolutionary roots than previously thought.
“ I need not say how strongly I feel that it is the business of U. C. to be boldly first in recognising fully any new and real want of the time.”
“It all started with questions. I am deeply attached to organised scepticism: the questioning of ideas, frameworks and assumptions. The appeal of academic life lies in the really big challenges: why we live and think as we do. For me, that’s all about what we can learn from others. It drew me to anthropology and it’s what inspires my work here at UCL.”
“I was inspired to become an academic while conducting a research project for my Master’s dissertation, which saw me evaluate an intervention designed to increase fruit and vegetable consumption among pre-school children. I realised that academia extended far beyond the confines of a desk and I could be involved in work that had a direct impact on public health.”
