Cheap Sensor Measures Skin Friction Drag
Researchers at the University of Surrey have developed the first low-cost sensor that can accurately measure skin friction drag, using off-the-shelf components. The sensor has primarily been designed for the aerospace sector since overcoming skin friction drag accounts for around 50 percent of fuel burn on a commercial airliner in cruise conditions. Another potential application…

Old Star Clusters Could Have Been the Birthplace of Supermassive Stars
New Tool Hastens Design of Wearables
In a paper published by Nano Energy, experts from the Advanced Technology Institute (ATI) at the University of Surrey detail a new methodology that allows designers of smart-wearables to better understand and predict how their products would perform once manufactured and in use. The technology is centered on materials that become electrically charged after they…
Hunting for Dark Matter in the Smallest Galaxies in the Universe
Astrophysicists from the University of Surrey and the University of Edinburgh have created a new method to measure the amount of dark matter at the centre of tiny “dwarf” galaxies. Dark matter makes up most of the mass of the Universe, yet it remains elusive. Depending on its properties, it can be densely concentrated at…
Wile E. Coyote Inspires Silicon Advancements
The essence of the technology — where an object takes a moment to respond to the energy placed upon it — is a staple of cartoons such as Road Runner, where characters run off cliffs and spend a moment in mid-air before falling. Scientists hope that their discovery, detailed in a study published by Nature…

‘Tiny Dancer’ Atoms Could Be a Hit with Quantum Computer Scientists
Quantum computers could be a step closer to practical use thanks to the work of an international team led by University of Surrey scientists. The group, led by Dr Steve Chick and Professor of Physics Ben Murdin, has developed a way of making phosphorous atoms ‘dance’, which could be the next breakthrough in the quest to make quantum…

New Research Reveals Hundreds of Undiscovered Black Holes
New research by the University of Surrey published today in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has shone light on a globular cluster of stars that could host several hundred black holes, a phenomenon that until recently was thought impossible. Globular clusters are spherical collections of stars which orbit around a galactic centre such…
