  1. Bringing research to life

    LJMU’s School of Sport and Exercise Sciences regularly undertakes outreach activity to ensure members of the public are aware of the work researchers are carrying out, and the positive impact it has on everyday lives.

  2. Is this the face of Robert the Bruce?

    Scientists and historians have joined forces to create detailed virtual images of what could be the head of Robert the Bruce, reconstructed from the cast of a human skull held by the Hunterian Museum.

  3. Gigantic giraffids

    Using the latest imaging technology, researchers have revealed more information about a prehistoric mammal, previously thought to be an elephant-sized, moose-like creature, which was actually a close relation to modern-day giraffes.

  4. Record-breaking supernova discovered

    Astronomers scanning the sky to make new discoveries in the universe have witnessed a record-breaking cosmic explosion about 200 times more powerful than a typical supernova - and more than twice as luminous as the previous record-holding supernova.

  5. Light Night 2016

    LJMU has again been announced as the principal sponsor of LightNight, Liverpool’s one-night arts festival, with the University supporting the event for the third year running.
