  2. Astronomers catch Tatooine multiple star system as it forms

    For the first time astronomers, including Dr Richard Parker, of the Astrophysics Research Institute at LJMU, have caught a multiple-star system as it is created, and their observations are providing new insight into how such systems, and possibly the solar system, are formed. The amazing images taken from a series of telescopes on Earth show clouds of gas which are in the process of developing into stars.

  4. Improving how medicines are managed in the NHS

    The first research collaboration in the UK between a hospital, university and community pharmacist is taking place through a unique project from LJMU, the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust and LloydsPharmacy.

  5. Human-altered ecosystems

    What can fossil bones tell us about the ecology and behaviour of extinct species? In two recent publications, Dr Carlo Meloro from the School of Natural Sciences and Psychology has worked with international teams to demonstrate how we can interpret palaeoecology (the ecology of fossil animals and plants) of extinct wild dogs by looking at their fore-limb and skull shape.

  7. ARI creates simulation of the Universe with realistic galaxies

    An international team of astronomers, including Dr Rob Crain from the LJMU Astrophysics Research Institute (ARI), have developed a simulation of the Universe in which realistic galaxies are created. Astronomers can now use the results to study the development of galaxies from almost 14 billion years ago until now.

  8. Supporting Science and Engineering Innovation

    LJMU has received a £5 million share of HEFCE’s £200 million funding scheme to support an increase in high-quality science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) students.

  9. LJMU main university in China maritime partnership

    A Memorandum of Understanding is set to strengthen a relationship between Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) and LJMU that stretches back over ten years in Maritime, covering extensive research projects and postgraduate opportunities.

  10. Life-saving research into Carbon Monoxide

    LJMU’s research into Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm ownership and the levels of CO in homes has been included in the latest report produced by the All Party Parliamentary Carbon Monoxide Group.
