- New Device Keeps Liver Alive Outside Body
Forbes Magazine online (USA), ‘Singularity University’ section, Peter Murray, 01/05/13
In what’s being called a medical first, doctors have been able to keep a liver functioning outside the body and then transplant it into a patient. The device is much better at preservation than the current method, cooling livers with ice. By extending the health of donated livers, the new device could not only increase the chances those who desperately need the organs will receive them, it could also improve the outcome of recipients. OrganOx was developed by Peter Friend, director of Oxford Transplant Centre, and Constantin Coussios, biomedical engineering professor at Oxford University. It keeps livers alive by keeping them at body temperature and circulating red blood cells through them that deliver nutrients and oxygen.

Oxford Times, 02/05/13, p. 37, Gill Oliver
Engineering entrepreneurs will receive free mentoring to help commercialise technology breakthroughs. Tom Hockaday, a managing director of Oxford University-owned Isis Innovation, was on the advisory panel for the new scheme. He said: ‘The RAE [Research Assessment Exercise] scheme adds to the already incredibly dynamic and active innovation and enterprise network in Oxford and Oxfordshire. In Oxford and Oxford University we already help set up new students coming out of the university’s engineering department.’ - Forget high-speed rail, the golden age of car travel is almost here
Daily Telegraph, Business Section, p. 2, Allister Heath, 01/05/2013
Article on scientists and engineers developing self-driving cars mentions that Paul Newman at Oxford University is developing a system using 3D lasers which he has already tested on cars driving at speeds of up to 40mph and which could be installed cheaply on existing cars.

Daily Mail, p.48, Roger Dobson, 23/04/2013
An article on various research studies looking at the use of tiny bubbles to diagnose, treat and prevent illnesses like stroke, cancers, furred arteries and respiratory diseases. Bubbles coated with a fat-like material are loaded with drugs and blasted with ultrasound to burst the bubble and unload the drug at the area it is needed. Article quotes Dr Eleanor Stride, reader in bio-medical engineering at Oxford University, on the potential of microbubbles.

The Guardian online, Comment is Free, 02/04/13
Text of a live Q&A with Professor Paul Newman of Oxford University, following last month’s Oxford London Lecture in which Professor Newman sought to dispel some of the myths about the field of robotics.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/apr/02/is-the-future-robotic - Keep your dirty lucre, sterling's a lot healthier!
Fears about the dirtiness of currency may be well founded: Professor Ian Thompson of Oxford’s Department of Engineering Science has tested a range of banknotes and coins and found that European banknotes and coins contain, on average, 26,000 bacteria while sterling has 18,200 bacteria. He said: ‘The euros we tested harboured an average of 11,000 bacteria, which for a number of pathogenic organisms is sufficient for passing on infection.’ He suggested that there would be ‘...merit in a wider study tracking the spread of resistant strains through movement of banknotes globally.’ -

Oxford Mail, p.10, 21/03/13
Students from local schools had a chance to inspect cutting-edge technology up close at Begbroke Science Park’s annual innovation showcase last week. The pupils visited the park last week and had a chance to tour the labs and see ‘robot cars’ in development first hand.

Surgeons have carried out the first 'warm liver' transplant using an organ which was 'kept alive' at body temperature in a machine. Usually donor livers are kept on ice, but many become damaged as a result. Professor Constantin Coussios of the Department of Engineering Science, one of the inventors, said: "In experiments we have shown we can preserve a liver and monitor its function outside the body for periods up to 24 hours. By contrast livers kept on ice have to be transplanted with 10-12 hours at most." Five years ago Oxford University set up a spin-out company, OrganOx, to commercialise the technology. - BBC News online, 15/02/2013, Fergus Walsh

- We shouldn't fear robots – they'll do our bidding
The Guardian, 06/03/2013, p.32, Paul Newman
Comment piece from Professor Paul Newman of Oxford University who will deliver this year's Oxford London Lecture on 12 March at Church House, Westminster: ‘Robotics and its sibling disciplines like computer vision and machine learning will, I am sure, offer us better lives. The word "offer" is important as we do get to make choices. Engineers will create the building blocks and innovations that will underpin new artefacts and services – but only if it makes sense to do so. We will be offered better surgery, better security, better warehousing, more efficient ports, safer mines, curated farms with reduced pesticide requirements and higher yields. We'll do science on other planets and at the bottom of our oceans… We'll have cars that can drive you when you are exhausted, sick, ageing or simply unwilling to waste your time in traffic. We'll get new help in cleaning up our nuclear legacy, fighting fires, and rescuing families from collapsed buildings… We can drop the droid talk and replace it with a proper sense of opportunity, benefit and maybe childlike wonder at what our creations will offer us. This is going to be good.’

Radio: Howard Bentham, BBC Radio Hereford & Worcester, 27/02/13, 07:50
A solar-powered oven based on technology developed at Oxford University is being developed and tested by the Malvern company Dytechna. It is hoped that the oven, which can reach temperatures of 200ºC without fuel, and can be flatpacked for easy transportation and storage, could help people in the developing world. The project is a collaboration with Oxford University’s technology transfer company, Isis Innovation. [Dr Mike Dadd of the Department of Engineering Science and Professor Nick Jelley of the Department of Physics led the Oxford team who designed the oven.]
