The strange space object ‘Oumuamua took the scientific community by storm nine years ago. In the wake of its passage close to our planet, many questions have been raised. Recently, an international initiative was launched to search for more visitors from other solar systems. One night in October 2017, a telescope in Hawaii is carrying out its routine task of scanning the night sky. The following d

Our work on Global Dynamic Engagement this year has shown us that in many ways, the University already has an impressive track record of global engagement. At the same time, our international impact is wavering, especially in relation to the number of citations of our publications in top-ranked journals. This development, which we share with many other universities, is worrying as it can make the

Net zero emission pledges by countries and companies are everywhere at the moment. Most of these pledges rely on massive amounts of carbon removal, yet details on how this will transpire remain largely absent. The COP26 agreement suggests that markets will play a central role, but there are significant problems with this approach. Carbon removal, also known as “negative emissions”, is the process

Export control are regulations used to govern the export of military and dual-use goods—items with both civilian and military applications. While these rules are often associated with industry and defence, it’s increasingly clear that they also affect the research world—especially in fields involving advanced technologies and international collaboration. In some cases, data or research results may
