Generating impact from our research
Impact acceleration accounts (IAAs) enable the translation of research into impact through support for commercialisation, engagement, staff mobility and culture change. Our College is home to three of the seven IAAs held by the University with a combined value of over £10 million.
- EPSRC IAA
- STFC IAA
- Photonics & Quantum Accelerator (Photonics in Central Scotland Place-based IAA)

A bright future for high-energy muon beams
In a paper published on 17th July 2024 in Nature Physics, researchers at the international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE) collaboration have shown that muon beams traversing low density absorbers inside strong magnetic fields can reduce their transverse size through the mechanism of 'ionization cooling'. The MICE collaboration consists of many scientists from around the world, including a team from the University of Glasgow led by Professor Paul Soler (P&A). -

Future Leader Fellowship for Dr William Peveler
Dr William Peveler, of the School of Chemistry, will use his Fellowship to develop a new molecular engineering approaches for fingerprinting steroids at the point of need. The project will ultimately deliver a practical prototype of a fast, inexpensive method of steroid profiling suitable for use by medics, researchers, patients and environmental scientists.
