Dr Snehalata Sahu featured in Astronomy Now magazine
Recent research by Snehalata Sahu Link opens in a new windowon the discovery of a hot white dwarf merger remnant has attracted the attention of Astronomy Now magazine editor Stuart Clark. Impressed by her unique blend of science and creativity, they reached out to feature her astronomy-inspired artwork in the magazine's October issue.
Official opening of the UK's most powerful NMR Facility
We are excited to share that the UK's first-ever 1.2 GHz magnet was officially opened this summer.
The event marked a milestone in NMR Spectroscopy as the most powerful magnet operational in the UK, and one of less than 15 similar magnets in the world. The facility will allow better resolution and increased sensitivity.

Dr Rebecca Nealon awarded ARC Future Fellowship at Monash University
Congratulations to Dr Rebecca Nealon (previously Astronomy and Astrophysics Group) who has recently relocated to Monash University, Melbourne and has been awarded an ARC Future Fellowship.
Dr Nealon's project titled 'Solving the mysteries of warped discs to reveal how planets are born in evolving star systems' will delve into the origins of planet formation in warped discs. Planets are born in dusty, swirling gas discs called protoplanetary discs. However, the process by which these planets are created is still poorly understood and recent observations of discs show interesting geometries like warps. Dr Nealon's project will use these warps to explain how and when planets are born.
