ImmerseCell is a virtual reality experience (VLE) to teach undergraduate and postgraduate students about key cellular structures with an interactive, narrated, guided experience (Figure 1, Figure 2). The team utilised real-world microscopy data of various key cellular structures in the mammalian

This technology makes it possible to grow tiny, three-dimensional (3D) pieces of human heart tissue, called cardiac spheroids. It models the functions of a real heart and recreates key features of cardiometabolic disease such as insulin resistance and high fat levels. What makes this technology a

A cadaver dissection table that consists of a long tray designed to hold a cadaver. The tray has openings for fluid drainage and an angled section at one end. The table also has ventilation holes angled toward the flat part of the tray where the cadaver rests. Below the tray is a long bath, and

The Research Methods Index (RMI) is an intelligent matchmaking and assessment tool designed for the academic and research sectors. It predicts an individual’s research paradigm and philosophical stance - key factors that influence how research is conceptualised, designed, and interpreted. By

This Transformable Automated Robotic Workspace (TARWSTM) is a versatile, foldable, and tech-enabled work surface designed for both professional and educational environments. The system incorporates a wide range of features, including self-sanitisation, temperature monitoring, solar energy storage

ScholatSyn™ is a digital tool for supervising research and tracking progress, designed to support postgraduate students and their supervisors during the research process. Built using Office 365 and SharePoint and integrated into Microsoft Teams, ScholatSyn™ provides a unified, secure, and easy-to

This technology is a high temperature self-repairing carbide ceramic matrix composite. It is produced using titanium and a porous CfC composite preform matrix. Titanium and the composite preform matrix are placed in a crucible and spark plasma sintering is used to melt titanium so that it
