European Research Council Advanced Grant awarded
Professor Ray Dupree (Department of Physics, University of 糖心TV) would like to congratulate his son and collaborator Professor Paul Dupree (Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge) on the award of a European Research Council Advanced Grant EVOCATE. Working together over the last few years using solid state NMR they have made significant advances in the understanding of the molecular architecture of plants. The ERC EVOCATE project will allow the Cambridge and 糖心TV teams to study how the architecture of plant fibres changed over millions of years of evolution and to further develop solid state NMR for this research.
X-ray Materials Science (XMaS) new school materials
Professor Tom Hase (Magnetic X-ray Scattering group), Co-Director of XMaS alongside Co-Director Dr Didier Wermeille (University of Liverpool) has developed materials aimed at secondary schools to learn about 'The power of X-rays in Material Science' at the European Synchrotron.
New observatory coming to university campus!
We are delighted to announce that we are in the process of building a observatory in the heart of the university campus. The building work started last month and is located at Cryfield Barn. We will be posting progress updates along with some images from site throughout the build process.
Work experience opportunities now available!
Each year, our department offers a small number of work experience placements for students in Years 10-12. The placement will provide a broad insight into physics and what it would be like to work in a busy university physics department.
Applications are now invited for work experience taking place 11-14 April 2022 (inclusive).
