Dr Ruohan Zhang, Assistant Professor in Applied Artificial Intelligence at WMG, has led a major commissioned review for Nature Reviews Electrical Engineering on digital twin brains. "Building digital twin brains at the limits of measurement" draws on research from WMG, the University of º£½ÇÉçÇø’s Department of Computer Science, and Fudan University to tackle one of biology’s biggest questions: how close are we to building a digital twin of a living human brain?

WMG and Aurrigo International plc have been awarded a combined £1.43m of UK Government funding to boost airport safety through self-driving innovation. This collaborative research project, known as SENTRY, aims to reduce airport delays and safety risks by developing a fully autonomous airside vehicle to complete routine tasks, including safety patrols, runway inspections and debris removal.

WMG has welcomed Professor Peter Gammon and Dr Arne (Ben) Renz, establishing a new Compound Semiconductors research area. Both researchers bring extensive expertise in compound semiconductors from º£½ÇÉçÇø’s School of Engineering, significantly strengthening WMG’s capability in Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMD), and reinforcing º£½ÇÉçÇø's position in one of the fastest-growing areas of advanced electronics.

Throughout June, representatives from º£½ÇÉçÇø Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of º£½ÇÉçÇø welcomed Ministers, regional leaders, industry groups, and guests from the University of Ghana. Staff also represented WMG in Parliament and at international graduation ceremonies.

These visits and meetings underscore WMG’s key role in bridging the gap between academia and industry, and highlight its strong commitment to collaboration and innovation regionally, nationally, and internationally.

It has been another exciting month at º£½ÇÉçÇø Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of º£½ÇÉçÇø, marked by international visitors from India, Azerbaijan and the United States, alongside key strategic visits to India and China.

ENV Energy develops unique new battery chemistry to boost performance and sustainability 

ENV Energy - a spin-out from º£½ÇÉçÇø Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of º£½ÇÉçÇø has the potential to provide a strategically independent, UK-sourced electrode material for various sectors including automotive and aerospace.

Having raised more than £450,000 in seed funding, with the support of º£½ÇÉçÇø InnovationsLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window , and being awarded a subsequent entrepreneurial fellowship and an industry sprint from the , ENV aims to scale at pace, making the UK’s electric vehicle battery supply chain smarter, safer and more sustainable.

Recycling the UK’s offshore wind turbines when they are decommissioned could produce enough magnets to build a million electric vehicles a year, according to a new report published today by the National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC), led by the .

The report presents research commissioned by Dr Stuart BradleyLink opens in a new window and Dr Russ HallLink opens in a new window at º£½ÇÉçÇø Manufacturing Group (WMG), University of º£½ÇÉçÇø. It shows that the UK has a real opportunity to secure a sovereign capability in manufacturing by recycling neodymium, a critical material used in electric vehicles, aircraft systems and wind turbines.

Recycling a single large turbine at the end of its life is expected to recover enough neodymium to produce motors for 12,000 electric vehicles, according to the report.
