Water is often the go-to resource for heat transfer, being used in large-scale cooling operations like data centers that power the internet and nuclear power plants that power cities. Discovering dynamic phenomena to make water-based heat transfer more energy and cost efficient is the ongoing work of Jonathan Boreyko, associate professor and John R. Jones III Faculty Fellow in mechanical engineering. Boreyko and his team have published extensively on the topic of water and the way it can move, with members of his Nature-Inspired Fluids and Interfaces Lab producing water droplets that leap propelled by surface tension and frost that…

Homes in Littlehampton and Wick were damaged as the tornado left a three-kilometre trail of destruction on October 28.

Wonka review and star rating: ★★★★ Don’t take any notice of the saccharine posters for Wonka: the primary-coloured, heavily CGI’d images make this origin story look sugary-sweet.

Bringing back one of Roald Dahl’s most famous characters is a formidable undertaking but Paul King and Simon Farnaby’s new universe does Dahl’s imagination justice. In many ways, Wonka is the pristine golden ticket: sweeping musical numbers set in factories and workhouses where eccentric types produce chocolate or clean linen (wait and see on that last part). If you want to view paradise, you’re definitely…

The Gaelic with Immersion Programme has received a long-term funding commitment from the College of Arts & Humanities at the university. This announcement will establish Gaelic with Immersion as an integral part of the College’s Celtic & Gaelic diverse programme offering. In 2017, the College commissioned a feasibility study to consider an immersion experience in Glasgow and this revealed a demand for more intensive language opportunities amongst students and adult learners. Two years later in October of 2019, the Gaelic with Immersion Programme was offered to students at the university after it was awarded £455,000 from the Scottish Funding Council to…

As if still-image deepfakes aren’t bad enough, we may soon have to contend with generated videos of anyone who dares to put a photo of themselves online: with Animate Anyone, bad actors can puppeteer people better than ever. The new generative video technique was developed by researchers at Alibaba Group’s Institute for Intelligent Computing. It’s a big step forward from previous image-to-video systems like DisCo and DreamPose, which were impressive all the way back in summer but are now ancient history. What Animate Anyone can do is not by any means unprecedented, but has passed that difficult space between “janky…
