    Bonobos are willing to share meat with animals outside their own family groups. This behaviour was observed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is documented in a new study in Springer’s journal Human Nature

  2. Sharing the latest digital technology

    An amazing sample of some of the very latest digital technology from LJMU was on public display recently at Liverpool Medical Institution, at the recent LJMU and LMI Tech Event.

  3. Researching the kingfisher’s iconic hydrodynamic design

    Renowned for their noiseless dive, the kingfisher’s iconic beak-shape has inspired the design of high speed bullet trains. Now scientists have tested beak-shape among some of the birds’ 114 species found world-wide, to assess which shape is the most hydrodynamic.
