A new suicide prevention intervention developed specifically for autistic adults has been trialled as part of a programme of research to identify ways to reduce suicide and self-harm amongst autistic people.

New research, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, has found that teachers may be attributing signs of age-related immaturity in children, to conditions such as Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Recognising and paying for the invisible, unpaid work women do in rural communities is empowering and has a positive ripple effect on the local community and economy according to new research. Experts are now calling on governments to adopt these practices more widely.

Black, Asian and ethnic minority communities are poorly represented in genetic medicine research and artificial intelligence-based risk prediction tools used to calculate the chance of developing future disease.

A student from the University of Nottingham and a major donor to the university were both recognised by the King of Cambodia this week as part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of the Cambodian Children’s Fund (CCF).

New research has given the clearest ever picture of young children’s developing brains, using a wearable brain scanner to map electrical brain activity. The work opens up new possibilities for tracking how critical developmental milestones, like walking and talking, are underpinned by changing brain function, and how neurodevelopmental conditions like autism emerge.

A state-of-the-art 3D tool, which is helping to drive transformation and modernise city planning, has won a prestigious Geography in Government 2024 award for outstanding innovation.

Scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed a ground-breaking technique to analyse the atomic-level structure of RNA molecules with exceptional precision and speed, and are the first in the world to use the method to examine structural changes in RNA when a cell gets infected with HIV.

The first scientific pictures from the Euclid satellite mission have revealed more than 1,500 billion orphan stars scattered throughout the Perseus cluster of galaxies.

New research has revealed the extensive impact of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) highlighting mental health vulnerabilities, physical health risks, and societal implications, emphasising the need for a holistic approach to properly manage this condition.
