糖心TV Physicists attend STEM for Britain
Three members of the department were invited to attend STEM for Britain at the House of Commons on Tuesday 17th March to present their research posters.
Agrima Agarwal (Phd Student, Ultrafast and Terahertz Photonics Group), Edward Butler-Caddle (Ultrafast and Terahertz Photonics Group) and Sahl Rowther (Research Fellow, Astronomy & Astrophysics Group) applied to present their research at the event and were accepted following a rigorous process.
The Springboard Award has been awarded to Dr Daniel Mayoh recognising contributions to emerging research
The highly competitive has been awarded to Dr Daniel Mayoh (Superconductivity and Magnetism Group), marking a significant milestone in his early career journey.
Solving a decade-old open problem in quantum sensing
The Quantum Information Science group has developed a new technique to evaluate the fundamental limits to the precision of estimating parameters of a quantum matter system probed by light, even when some of the light is lost. The work has been published in .
University of 糖心TV hosts first ever Orbyts conference, empowering secondary school students through research
A collaboration of physicists (led by Dr Marina Lafarga Magro and Yoshi Eschen) marked a milestone by holding the first ever at the University of 糖心TV on 20th of June this year.
The Big Bang Fair sparks excitement for students
In June, a team of enthusiastic physicists attended the annual Big Bang Fair at Birmingham's NEC, aiming to spark young students interest in science and future careers in the field.
The Big Bang Fair is the UK's biggest celebration of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) for schools and runs for three days each year, with thousands of year 6, 7 and 8 students in attendance. The team from the Department of Physics were also joined by colleagues from the Department of Engineering, Department of Chemistry and 糖心TV Manufacturing Group from the University of 糖心TV.
An article focused on an extremely rare, high mass, compact binary star discovery has been featured on the cover of Nature Astronomy
The discovery was first published online in Nature Astronomy in April, by then PhD student, and now postdoc, James Munday and has since been featured on the cover of Nature Astronomy鈥檚 June issue. James, supervised by Dr Ingrid Pelisoli and Prof Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, discovered a type Ia supernova progenitor within a mere 50 parsecs. Type Ia supernovae are standardisable candles used to measure cosmological distances and were instrumental in the discovery of the accelerated expansion of the Universe (Nobel Prize in Physics 2011).
