The wider deployment of wave energy converters (WECs) that convert wave energy into renewable forms of electricity is hampered by challenges such as their efficiency and ability to survive in extreme weather conditions.
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London, in collaboration with the University of Manchester and the University of Exeter, aim to take a ‘whole system’ approach to address issues with WECs such as energy output and reliability.
The project is one of eight new projects launched to develop and test cutting-edge new wave energy technologies to help the UK achieve its net zero goal and continue to play a leading role in marine wave energy.

Being constantly hungry, no matter how much you eat â that’s the daily struggle of people with genetic defects in the brain’s appetite controls, and it often ends in severe obesity. In a study published in Science on April 15, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science, together with colleagues from the Queen Mary University of London and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, have revealed the mechanism of action of the master switch for hunger in the brain: the melanocortin receptor 4, or MC4 receptor for short. They have also clarified how this switch is activated by setmelanotide (Imcivree), a drug recently approved for the treatment of severe obesity caused by certain genetic changes. These findings shed new light on the way hunger is regulated and may help develop improved anti-obesity medications.

An international team of researchers headed by Israeli scientists announced a breakthrough discovery this week. They say they have figured out how “the master switch for hunger in the brain” works and as a result may be able to produce medicines to turn it off, giving a long sought-after medical solution to obesity.
The researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rechovot and Hebrew University of Jerusalem were joined for the project by scientists at Queen Mary University of London. In scientific terms, the team discovered how to handle mutations affecting the melanocortin receptor 4, or MC4 receptor for short, the brain’s internal switch that controls whether or not you feel hungry.
