    To conduct the experiment, the researchers took the blended phone and mixed it at almost 500°C with a powerful oxidizer, sodium peroxide. They were then able to do a detailed analysis of the resulting solution in acid to determine its precise chemical contents. #BSW19

    Our researchers have been monitoring the impact of the Lyme Bay MPA since it was designated in 2008. They found the number of different fish species inside the controlled zone is now more than four times (430%) greater than found outside the MPA’s boundaries.

    We have been deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic events that happened in Keyham yesterday, and our thoughts go out to the families impacted at this difficult time. Plymouth is a very safe, friendly and close-knit community which makes this incident all the more distressing.
