Loughborough University (abbreviated as Lough or Lboro for post-nominals) is a public research university in the market town of Loughborough, Leicestershire, in the East Midlands of England. It has been a university since 1966, but the institution dates back to 1909, when the then Loughborough Technical Institute began with a focus on skills and knowledge which would be directly applicable in the wider world. In March 2013, the university announced it had acquired the former broadcast centre at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park which opened as a second campus in 2015.

Scientists demonstrate terahertz wave camera can capture 3D images of microscopic world in major breakthrough

“Loughborough University scientists are the first to demonstrate that a terahertz wave camera can capture 3D images of microscopic items hidden inside small objects. Lead researcher Dr Luana Olivieri says though the research is in the early stages, the team …

New hybrid 3D printing technique will add a fourth dimension to additive manufacturing

“A new chemical process for additive manufacturing suggests exciting possibilities for 4D printed components – such as properties that change over time. Researchers at Loughborough University have developed a hybrid method called Material Treatment Extrusion Additive Manufacturing (MaTrEx-AM), which uses …

New graphene amplifier has been able to unlock hidden frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum

“Researchers have created a unique device which will unlock the elusive terahertz wavelengths and make revolutionary new technologies possible. Terahertz waves (THz) sit between microwaves and infrared in the light frequency spectrum, but due to their low-energy scientists have been …

Breaking Coulomb’s law: Scientists find a way around the rule that ‘opposites attract’

“Scientists have taken a big step towards creating the next generation of batteries, as well as more effective water treatment and better alternative energy after defying one of nature’s most fundamental rules on an atomic scale. An international team …
