'Smart' Tattoos
A case study from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) which describes a new simple and convenient way for people with diabetes to check their own sugar levels. 'Smart' tattoos enable constant monitoring of glucose levels without the need for blood samples.
EPSRC is a part of the...
A Bridge Too Many
A Bridge too Many, from the Centre for Science Education, is a set of teaching materials which offer a cross-curricular approach to learning about engineering. The context for the activities is a challenge based on a large model bridge that has been pre-constructed using prefabricated components, with weak pins...
A Clearer Picture of Climate Change
A case study produced by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). More accurate global weather forecasts and a better understanding of climate change are in prospect thanks to a breakthrough by electrical engineers at Queen’s University Belfast.
The team has developed a high...

An Impact! People case study from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
Imagine a cheap, reliable mobile phone you could fold into your back pocket, a TV that just rolled up for storage or electronic paper.
These are just some of the products that are being made possible by...
Avoid Traffic Pollution by Crossing the Street
A case study produced by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). In built-up urban areas, pedestrians could reduce the amount of traffic pollution they breathe in simply by crossing the street, according to joint EPSRC/NERC-funded research. Fresher air can be found on the windward side of...
