Artificial Intelligence is transforming all aspects of our lives, from healthcare and education to public services and policymaking. But the unregulated speed of AI development risks leaving marginalised communities behind, embedding historical bias and discrimination, and deepening global inequalities.

Imagine a future where your health is monitored continuously, effortlessly, without physical contact. Where early signs of illness are detected even before symptoms appear. And care is delivered proactively, rather than reactively, to optimise patient outcomes.

Global failings in waste disposal have left a toxic legacy, polluting our air, water and soil with pharmaceuticals, heavy metals and microplastics. But what if the tiniest organisms could solve the biggest problems? What if community science sparked global action? What if environmental damage could be undone?

A large proportion of people living with diabetes may have undiagnosed heart failure, according to results from a recent trial.

A tiny crystal chip which uses terahertz radiation to see clearly through a wide range of materials could find applications in healthcare, biological research, and security screening.

Involving people without AI expertise in the development and evaluation of artificial intelligence applications could help create better, fairer and more trustworthy automated decision-making systems, new research from the University of Glasgow suggests.

Researchers have found more evidence that microplastics are impacting freshwater wildlife in different countries around the world

The link between high engagement in gambling and suicidality is stronger than previously thought, according to a new study by the Universities of Glasgow and City St Georges, University of London.

The University of Glasgow is to lead a new project which aims to improve fish welfare in the global ornamental fish trade, while strengthening incomes for traditional fishing communities in the Brazilian Amazon.

New research may have solved an American mystery which has baffled geologists for a century and a half: how did a river carve a path through a mountain in one of the country’s most iconic landscapes?

A new research collaboration, led by the University of Glasgow, which fuses fashion and science is set to send harmless bacteria into space with the aim of creating radiation-sensitive fabrics capable of protecting space explorers and preventing skin cancer on Earth.

Researchers from the University of Glasgow and across the UK are banding together to tackle one of the largest unmet clinical needs in inflammatory arthritis, pain reduction, in a new £3m research programme funded by Arthritis UK.

University of Glasgow research, with the Cary Institute in the USA, suggests that, with enough nitrogen in their soils, recovering tropical forests could absorb an additional 820 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year for a decade.

A University of Glasgow study on how runners may choose to interact with self-driving cars is challenging assumptions on how automated vehicles will navigate safely on the roads of the future.

An international team of academics led by the University of Glasgow’s Professor Garrick Allen has successfully recovered 42 lost pages from one of the world's most important early New Testament manuscripts: Codex H.

A tool originally designed to monitor the erosion of Scotland’s coast has proven its worth on a tropical island the other side of the world.

A new experimental treatment for children with a hard-to-treat form of epilepsy is safe and can reduce seizures dramatically, helping them lead much healthier and happier lives, according to a new international clinical trial

The UK’s first comprehensive evaluation of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in breast cancer screening found that it can increase breast cancer detection by 10.4% and has the potential to reduce the workload of healthcare workers by more than 30% compared to the current clinical process.
