New ‘universal vaccine’ technology could protect us from future virus outbreaks

A Cambridge-led team has developed a way to engineer better vaccines that could provide broad protection from thousands of variants of viruses - such as coronaviruses or Ebola - in a single vaccine. This represents a fundamental new vaccine technology that could prevent future pandemics before they begin The first human clinical trial of a…

Worried about how online firms use data they get from you?

Berkman Klein researchers unveil new tool to verify identity, let users limit information they share, where it is stored In our increasingly online lives, convenience has come at a cost.

Efficient cooling method could enable chip-based trapped-ion quantum computers

New technique could improve the scalability of trapped-ion quantum computers, an essential step toward making them practically useful. Quantum computers could rapidly solve complex problems that would take the most powerful classical supercomputers decades to unravel. But they’ll need to be large and stable enough to efficiently perform operations. To meet this challenge, researchers at…

Technology for a more transparent approach to sharing, visiting and processing data

The EU-funded RAISE project is helping researchers make their data available securely. This means sensitive data is protected, research work is recognised and more data is available for open science Today’s researchers are wary about making their data publicly accessible. Their reluctance is justified, since after all that time and effort spent, sharing this data…
