The University of Surrey’s 5G Innovation Centre has published a new Whitepaper exploring a disruptive change in next generation cellular architecture. ‘The Flat Distributed Cloud 5G Architecture Revolution’ discusses how the future 5G network will be designed to always make best use of the resources available at the time of each new communications request applicable to the context of the user at the time. 

Research published in Nature demonstrates carbon nanotubes creating wafer-thin, flat structures that enable the miniaturisation of optical devices. Removing the need for traditional curved refracting lensing systems, which are generally bulky and expensive, will enable new compact optical systems based on this nanotechnology.

The University of Surrey has opened its state-of-the-art 5G Innovation Centre (5GIC), securing the UK’s role in leading the development of next-gen communications technology, 5G. Housing over 170 researchers and attracting over £70m of investment, including £12m from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), the 5GIC is the world’s largest academic research centre dedicated to next gen mobile and wireless c...

By manipulating zinc oxide, a material traditionally used in ceramics, glass and paint, researchers at the University of Surrey’s Advanced Technology Institute have produced an ultra-sensitive UV light sensor which could improve fire and gas detection. The researchers produced nanowires from this readily available material to create a ultra-violet light detector which is 10,000 times more sensitive to UV light than a traditional zinc oxide ...

The 27th Annual UKSEDS National Student Space Conference will take place from 28th February to 1st March 2015, and hosted by Surrey EARS (Electronic and Amateur Radio Society) at the University of Surrey. The UKSEDS National Student Space Conference is an event for space students, bringing together students, academics, and professionals from across the country to share knowledge of space, discuss the challenges facing the sector, a...

The University of Surrey, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge and the University of Southampton, has conducted research demonstrating how glass can be manipulated to create a material that will allow computers to transfer information using light. This could significantly increase computer processing speeds and power in the future, leading to all-optical systems.

According to research from the University of Surrey and Trinity College Dublin, graphene-treated nanowires could soon replace current touchscreen technology. The research, published in the 'Advanced Functional Materials' journal, suggests that using this technology would significantly reduce production costs, enabling more affordable, flexible displays.

Researchers from the University of Surrey and the Ben-Gurion University in Israel have uncovered a new method to detect Majorana particles. Previous attempts to find the elusive Majorana particle have been promising without providing definitive and conclusive evidence of its existence.

Research published today in the 'ACS Nano' journal has identified a new type of sensor that can monitor body movements. Potentially revolutionising healthcare, researchers from the University of Surrey and Trinity College Dublin have treated common elastic bands with graphene for the first time.

New research published Nature’s Scientific Reports, identifies a new type of light sensor that could allow medical and security imaging, via low cost cameras. The team of researchers from the University of Surrey have developed a new ‘multispectral’ light sensor that detects the full spectrum of light, from ultra-violet (UV), to visible and near infrared light.

The University of Surrey is to establish a graphene centre within its Advanced Technology Institute (ATI), expanding and consolidating the University’s graphene research and manufacturing capabilities. Through the Centre, the ATI will further its research into the uses and manufacture of graphene across industries, such as high frequency electronics, flexible and transparent electronics, smart coatings such as emissivity and barrier layers,...

Researchers from the University of Surrey and scientists from Philips have worked together to jointly develop the ‘Source-Gated-Transistor’ (SGT) simple circuit component. They have published a study which identifies a new technology which could see flexible electronics such as roll-up tablet computers, widely available in the near future.
