How magnetic waves heat the Sun

Scientists at Queen’s University Belfast have led an international team to the ground-breaking discovery that magnetic waves crashing through the Sun may be key to heating its atmosphere and propelling the solar wind. The Sun is the source of energy that sustains all life on Earth but much remains unknown about it. However, a group of researchers at Queen’s have now unlocked some mysteries in a research paper, which has been publ...

Supercapacitor could power pacemakers

Experts at Queen’s University Belfast have designed a flexible and organic alternative to the rigid batteries that power-up medical implants. Currently, devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators are fitted with rigid and metal based batteries, which can cause patient discomfort. Dr Geetha Srinivasan and a team of young researchers from Queen's University Ionic Liquid Laboratories (QUILL) Research Centre, have developed a flexi...

Converting dirty aluminium foil into a biofuel catalyst

A researcher at Queen's University Belfast has discovered a way to convert dirty aluminium foil into a biofuel catalyst, which could help to solve global waste and energy problems. In the UK, around 20,000 tonnes of aluminium foil packaging is wasted each year - enough to stretch to the moon and back. Most of this is landfilled or incinerated as it's usually contaminated by grease and oils, which can damage recycling equipment.

Belfast sends a DeLorean 'Back to the Future'

Tomorrow, 21st October 2015, will be the exact date that Marty McFly visited in a modified DeLorean in the second of the Back to the Future movies. While we are still waiting for flying cars, Mr. Fusion and Jaws 19 (this time it's really really personal), we now have hoverboards and something that even Robert Zemeckis didn't imagine would exist in 2015: an electric DeLorean.
