Secret histories of illuminated manuscripts: the MINIARE project
Duration: 00:06:55
Published Date: 2012/10/12An innovative project at the University of Cambridge will uncover some of the hidden histories of illuminated manuscripts, thanks to the application of techniques more commonly found in scientific laboratories. The MINIARE project will help conservators repair priceless works of art and provide new insights into the cultural, social and economic circumstances of their production. And, crucially -
A dog called Jasper during trial to show spinal cord regeneration
Duration: 00:00:46
Published Date: 2012/11/19In a unique collaboration between the University's Veterinary School and MRC's Regenerative Medicine Centre, scientists used a unique type of cell to regenerate the damaged part of the dogs' spines. The researchers are cautiously optimistic that the work could have a future role in the treatment of human patients with similar injuries if used alongside other treatments.

Affordable Housing
Duration: 00:07:19
Published Date: 2015/02/04This short film examines some possible policy responses to the shortage of affordable housing supply in the UK. It argues that a large increase in house building is needed, much of which should be new dwellings that are affordable to rent by households on low incomes. It explains the use in other countries of policies that link initiatives to increase housing production, ensure that housing is of -
Viruses under the Mathematical Microscope: Deciphering the Code of…
Duration: 01:13:05
Published Date: 2011/05/10Newton Institute Web Seminars: newton.ac.uk/webseminars Cambridge University Science Festival lecture on Saturday 25 March 2011. Viruses, such as hepatitis and the common cold, have highly ordered protein containers that encapsulate the viral genomic material. They act as Trojan horses, transporting the genomic material inside a cell to hijack the cellular mechanism and produce new viruses. -

Forget walking... tiny insect jumps on water
Duration: 00:05:41
Published Date: 2012/12/04An insect not much bigger than a grain of rice is able to repeatedly jump on the surface of water using specialised paddles on their hind legs, new research reveals. The pygmy mole cricket, which is really more closely related to a grasshopper than a cricket, is only 5mm (1/4 inch) long and weighs less than 10mg. They live in burrows that they dig into the muddy banks alongside fresh water, to -
Successful honey-hunters know how to communicate with wild birds
Duration: 00:01:24
Published Date: 2023/12/07A new Cambridge University study has found that wild honeyguide birds prefer to cooperate with people who have learned local cultural traditions, to find and access honey-filled bees’ nests. -
Mathematical analysis of peer to peer communication networks
Duration: 01:03:23
Published Date: 2010/03/29Newton Institute Web Seminars: newton.ac.uk/webseminars Distributed protocols for peer to peer file sharing, streaming video, and video on demand have revolutionised the way the majority of information is conveyed over the Internet. The peers are millions of computers, acting as both clients and servers, downloading and uploading information. Information to be shared is broken into chunks, and -
The eyes have it
Duration: 00:01:44
Published Date: 2014/02/05Researchers in Cambridge and Exeter have discovered that jackdaws use their eyes to communicate with each other -- the first time this has been shown in non-primates. While what humans do with their eyes has been well studied, we know almost nothing about whether birds communicate with members of the same species with their eyes. The new study, published today in Biology Letters, shows that
