The WiRe Research Communication Videos
How can sugar molecules help tackle the antibiotic resistance crisis? What lies beneath the surface of the Earth? How is a nation’s identity formed? Why do social media platforms pose a risk to democratic processes?
Tired of reading? You’re in the right place! Sit back and explore the fascinating and diverse world of research—right on your screen. Our WiRe fellows, many of whom had little experience in research communication before joining the program, poured time, energy, and creativity into producing their own videos—from concept to post-production. And the results? Simply inspiring!

The Magic Of Physics: Identifying Atoms And Atomic Arrangement
Imagine you’re watching the next generation of machines — metals that bend, twist, and then snap back as if they remember their original shape. In this video by WiRe Fellow Yuchen, we dive into the world of “transformers in real life”: the remarkable class of materials known as shape-memory alloys (SMAs) that seem to defy the usual limits of metal. We’ll explore how they work, why they’re revolutionising science and industry — from actuation in aerospace to smart devices on Earth — and what hurdles researchers still face!

Beneath the Surface: How the Tumour’s Ecosystem Holds the Key to Healing
Every tumour lives in a world of its own — a microenvironment that helps it grow and spread. Dr. Arianna Parnigoni’s research dives into this hidden world to uncover how changing its balance could turn cancer’s strength into its weakness. Watch the full story to see how exploring the tumour’s hidden ecosystem could bring new hope for patients!
