Feeling the heat: understanding the impact of high temperatures on future tree functioning under elevated CO2

University of Birmingham

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Photosynthesis is a process vital to plant growth and is highly sensitive to temperature (Crous et al. 2022). When CO. 2. is high, plants close their leaf pores (stomata) to save water - but this traps heat and makes increases leaf temperatures (Fauset et al. Read more

Bioresorbable intestinal devices with embedded resorbable sensors for gastrointestinal monitoring

University of Birmingham

Department of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering

Swallowable sensors are limited by how long they stay in place. A capsule passes through the gut within a day or two, so it can only take a snapshot when conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease need to be tracked over weeks without the risk of obstruction. Read more
