Public research university in Bath, England, with active research spanning management, astrophysics, chemistry, and biosciences.
Nine studies find consumers rate businesses as more sustainable for adding eco-friendly items than for removing items, even when removal leads to less waste. The authors say the gap narrows when firms explain what they removed.

The Mach Initiative, a team of University of Bath graduates, flew the Kingfisher, a jet-turbine model whose mostly 3D-printed PETG airframe reaches 205 mph. A larger aircraft built to chase a Mach 0.8 speed record has not yet made an attempt.

Megatron simulations suggest the region that became a Milky Way-like galaxy held thousands of small merging galaxies in the universe's first 2 billion years. Its galaxies come with predicted spectra that can be checked directly against James Webb Space Telescope data.

University of Bath researchers found the most patient of more than 21,000 UK workers were about 50% more likely than the most impatient to start a business. Whether coaching patience would produce more or better founders is beyond what survey data can test.

Harley Katz's team at the University of Chicago ran three years of simulations showing the Milky Way assembling from thousands of smaller galaxies. Published across six papers, the models can now be checked against what Webb actually records.
Reality
University of Bath researchers' boronic-acid probes detected glucose changes in living zebrafish and told insulin-deficient fish from healthy siblings. The work shows sugar can be read optically in a live vertebrate, though the clinical uses the team describes are still untested.
Reality
University of Bath-led MEGATRON team published four papers arguing early-universe models must track starlight, gas and new elements together. Their simulations suggest simpler models understate how stellar radiation and chemistry shape the gas around young galaxies.

Ninety-two percent of cafe customers surveyed could not tell whether a cup was already costing them money, and the behavioural case for a mandated charge rests on a field experiment in three university cafes.
Reality
A new Academy of Management Review paper argues that routing thinking through Gen-AI under time pressure costs managers the practical wisdom only firsthand consequences build. The argument is conceptual, and its two conditions are testable.
