Exploring nutritional supplements to enhance coral reslience ( Domestic Only )
In order to thrive and endure environmental challenges, corals, like all living organisms, necessitate exceptional nutrition. Although typically situated in nutrient-poor waters, corals possess the ability to extract nutrients from their surroundings to support their well-being. Read more
How GABA neurones in the DVC control glucose metabolism
The Dorsal Vagal Complex (DVC) of the brain is an important regulator of glucose metabolism and food intake. The Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (NTS) in the DVC senses insulin and triggers a neuronal relay to decrease hepatic glucose production (HPG) in rodents. Read more
Plasmon-Enhanced Electrochemical Nitrate Reduction for Sustainable Ammonia Production and Environmental Remediation
This project aims to revolutionise ammonia (NH3) production by addressing two crucial global challenges. the high energy demand and environmental impact of conventional NH3 synthesis, and the increasing nitrate (NO3-) pollution from agriculture. Read more
