Picture of the Week
A rose by any other name
The picture represents a "finite energy foliation" of the 3-dimensional manifold S1 x S2 with its standard contact structure. Finite energy foliations are ways of filling 3-dimensional space with smooth surfaces that are solutions to a differential equation arising in string theory. More...

22 May 2013: Rare merger reveals secrets of galaxy evolution
Two hungry young galaxies spotted in the act of colliding, billions of light years away, are rapidly forming a massive galaxy about 10 times the size of the Milky Way, according to new research published in the journal Nature. The research, carried out by an international team in including Mat Page (UCL Space and Climate Physics), answers a long-standing question of how giant elliptical galaxies formed in the early Universe, and why they stopped forming stars soon after.

14 May 2013: New evidence points at easier start for life on Earth
Just how did life on Earth begin? The precise point at which sterile chemical processes came alive is still shrouded in mystery. However, new research by Dr Matthew Powner (UCL Chemistry) and colleagues at other institutions may shed some light on how this happened. More...
10 May 2013: New molecule could offer targeted therapies against tumour growth
Scientists have discovered a new drug with great promise for
the fight against cancer. Called SSR128129E, or SSR for short, it binds to
receptors on the surfaces of cancer cells and stops the growth of blood vessels
within tumours. It offers a targeted therapy that starves tumours of blood without
the side-effects common with many cancer therapies.
