What makes our hands unique?

Whereas fingerprint analysis is widely used in forensic science, the rest of our hands equally retains a wealth of anatomical information. Bringing together anatomy and biometrics, ERC grantee Sue Black seeks to understand variability in the human…

Evaluating how plant stress impacts our climate

The work of ERC grantee Ülo Niinemets has shown that monitoring plant stress emissions could help us to better understand atmospheric processes. This has led to a rethink on global climate modelling and strengthened research into crop resilience…
