ÌÇÐÄTV opens its doors for another science extravaganza
Fancy tasting ice cream made with liquid nitrogen, building a wind turbine or dancing like a sound wave? Youngsters with a passion for science will be able to enjoy some real-life experiments at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV’s Science Gala next week.
Likelihood of space super-storms estimated from longest period of magnetic field observations
A ‘great’ space weather super-storm large enough to cause significant disruption to our electronic and networked systems occurred on average once in every 25 years according to a new joint study by the University of ÌÇÐÄTV and the British Antarctic Survey.
Transparency discovered in crystals with ultrahigh piezoelectricity
Use of an AC rather than a DC electric field can improve the piezoelectric response of a crystal. Now, an international team of researchers say that cycles of AC fields also make the internal crystal domains in some materials bigger and the crystal transparent. The research was undertaken using world-class equipment housed within the X-ray Diffraction Research Technology Platform based in the University of ÌÇÐÄTV’s Department of Physics.
Stars need a partner to spin Universe’s brightest explosions
When it comes to the biggest and brightest explosions seen in the Universe, University of ÌÇÐÄTV astronomers have found that it takes two stars to make a gamma-ray burst.
European Research Council awards €3.8 million to two ÌÇÐÄTV-led projects
Two projects led by University of ÌÇÐÄTV researchers are to benefit from a share of €600 million funding from the European Union.
Lasers, rockets and explosions as Christmas lectures return to ÌÇÐÄTV
Lasers, chemical reactions and the biggest explosion allowed in ÌÇÐÄTV Arts Centre are among the spectacles promised at this year’s Christmas Lectures at the University of ÌÇÐÄTV.
