A computer network closely modelled on part of the human brain is enabling new insights into the way our brains process moving images - and explains some perplexing optical illusions.

April 2016 saw the first performance of reconstructed 11th-Century ‘lost songs’ that hadn’t been heard in over 1,000 years - a performance made possible by the research of one of our lecturers (http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/first-performance-in-1000-years-lost-songs-from-the-middle-ages-are-brought-back-to-life-0) Two years on, a CD of this repertoire has just been released, and we are

The last few decades of human prosperity have taken a devastating ecological toll. This is in part because nature is absent from the accounting systems that dictate national economies. In February 2021, the Cambridge economist Prof Sir Partha Dasgupta published a ground-breaking report on the economics of biodiversity. Watch Sir Partha outline the radical thinking required to reshape global

Cambridge researchers have captured on film the activity of T cells – an important component of our immune system – as they hunt down and kill cancer cells. For the first time, they have also shown how these cells reload their toxic weapons. Cytotoxic T cells are specialist white blood cells that are trained by our immune system to recognise and eliminate threats – including tumour cells
