28 AprResearchers from the University of Glasgow have found that slag, an industrial waste product produced by the steel industry, is turning into solid rock in as little as 35 years. In a paper published in the journal Geology, the researchers explain how detailed analysis of a two-kilometre stretch of slag deposit, at Derwent Howe in West Cumbria led to their discovery of a new Earth system cycle.

Blair Drummond research sniffs out new possibilities for animal-computer interac
UofG computing science experts teamed up with Blair Drummond Safari Park zookeepers to test ‘SensorySafari’, a prototype interactive system which enabled red-ruffed lemurs and humans to share linked multisensory experiences. The results of the project, set to be presented at a conference this month, suggest that the everyday lives of the endangered red-ruffed lemurs could be enriched by on-demand access to video and sound clips, as well as the distinctive smells of favoured foods and plants. -

UofG spinout aims to transform realtime wireless sensing of train carriages
The new sensors receive power wirelessly from radio waves, directly providing energy to small electronics which collect data including temperature and vibration, which is then sent to the user via a Bluetooth interface. The sensors are designed to be retro-fitted to existing rolling stock carriages, and could significantly reduce the cost and environmental footprint of wiring in modern trains.
