Work has started on a new Quantum Communications Hub Optical Ground Station (HOGS), a state-of-the-art telescope which is being built on Heriot-Watt University’s Research Park.

Project CAELUS is continuing to break new ground for Scotland with drones flying laboratory samples across the Firth of Clyde for the first time.

Researchers from the School of Physics & Astronomy have played a leading role in an experiment which has opened up a new perspective on the complex world of quantum physics using data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Researchers are to develop enhanced methods for capturing uncertainties in flood hazard maps, to support targeted protection against the effects of climate change.

At the start of my career, when I worked on a construction site. I was once asked, “why do you only use the top two buttons of your jacket? It’s minus 2, aren’t you cold? “

I responded with, “yes, I’m cold. The jacket doesn’t fit round my waist and the buttons pop open when I move.”

“Why don’t you ask for a bigger jacket?”

I just sighed.

New research exploring the effects of the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) in Glasgow has found that while traffic flow has remained largely unchanged since the Zone was enforced, air quality has improved.

Scotland boasts a rich history of engineering excellence that has profoundly shaped its economic and social landscape, from the innovative designs of James Watt, whose improvements to the steam engine propelled the Industrial Revolution, to the groundbreaking work of John Logie Baird, the pioneer of television. Scotland’s engineers have been at the forefront of global technological advancements. The legacy of these engineers continues to inspire, but the future of engineering in Scotland depends on cultivating a diverse and dynamic talent pool, starting from the earliest stages of education.
