All eligible postgraduate taught master's offer holders in the Department of Physics will automatically receive the scholarship.

A team of researchers led by an Indian-origin engineer in the UK has created an electronic skin capable of feeling "pain" and according to them it could help create a new generation of smart robots with human-like sensitivity.

A University of Glasgow researcher has made a device that will enable pet dogs to communicate with their owners over long distances. Dr. Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas, a specialist in animal-computer interaction at the university's School of Computing Science, has been building devices for her 10-year-old Labrador for a while now.

Lonely dogs could soon be able to call their absent owners using a new device invented by animal-tech scientists in Britain and Finland, they said Wednesday.

A 'giant' spider recently hijacked a live interview on BBC News. On Friday, several viewers were astonished to see an eight-legged creature on their television screens when Glasgow City Councillor Graham Campbell was being interviewed.

The research, in partnership with Glasgow University, has created a sensory steering wheel, parts of which can be quickly heated and cooled to inform drivers where to turn, when to change lane or to warn of an approaching junction.

British police said a suspect package found in Glasgow on Wednesday is likely linked to three small explosive devices discovered in London the previous day.

An Indian-origin scientist working on creating a robotic hand covered in so-called "brainy skin" that mimics the human sense of touch has won 1.5 million pounds in funding for the project.

The Calcutta University, IISER Pune and the University of Glasgow have secured a joint funding of Rs 1.4 crore from an international credit mobility scheme for encouraging collaboration between the three institutes.

Is it possible to hear a silent GIF? That's the question many are asking after a GIF first created in 2008 by Twitter user @IamHappyToast resurfaced and went viral. Dr Lisa DeBruine, a researcher at the University of Glasgow, tweeted and asked her followers whether they could "hear" the GIF. Surprisingly, even though the GIF has no audio, many rep...

A university in the United Kingdom is offering a new course next month on philosophy based on the popular Game of Thrones fantasy TV series. Over two six-hour sessions, John Donaldson from the University of Glasgow will introduce key philosophical principles by using themes from the popular show.

After receiving an honorary doctorate at the University of Glasgow recently, Apple chief executive Tim Cook took questions from the capacity crowd. The first student had two for the leader of the world's most profitable company. He wondered, to laughter, whether he could have a job. And then he asked about Apple's "next big thing" - not just as far...

Smoking is bad for pets too, the University of Glasgow said Tuesday, citing an ongoing study into the effects of second-hand smoke on dogs and cats.

The discovery hints at the possibility that methane could be used as a food source by rudimentary forms of life beneath the Martian surface.

A foodies bucket list of what to eat in Glasgow.If you ask any Glaswegian to sum up Glasgow in a few sentences you're most likely to hear the words university, pubs, cider, whisky, beer, a lot of beer and most importantly food. The Glaswegian's don't...
