The Superconductivity and Magnetism Group

The Superconductivity and Magnetism Group here at Warwick has a range of interests that are centred around the properties of superconductors, magnetic materials, oxide materials and metallic systems.

The Superconducting Maglev train demonstrates one application of the amazing materials researched by the group: superconductivity. In this experiment, we cool a piece of material using liquid nitrogen to −196°C so we can unlock it's superconducting powers. When we do this we can make use of a particularly astonishing property of a superconductor, one which will allow our train to levitate!

Technology Volunteers

Technology Volunteers, from the University of Warwick, are demonstrating some fun and interactive resources that they teach in local schools. Do you think you’d be able to beat their ‘Impossible Game’!? How about a game of the arcade classic ‘Pong’ instead? Visit their stand to discover more about Arduino and Scratch.

WISB

iGEM

Join members of the Warwick Integrative Synthetic Biology (WISB) centre to find out more about synthetic biology and how University of Warwick undergraduate students take part in the annual 'international Genetically Modified Organism' (iGEM) competition.

The WarwickSub project comprises nine students in their third and fourth year of Engineering. Their challenge each year is to design, build and market a human-powered submarine, with the view of competing against other universities on the international stage. In June 2017, the Team will be entering their submarine in the International Submarine Races (ISR).

Attendees will discover the vital concept of ‘neutral buoyancy’. They will start off with a material that sinks and have to make it sit perfectly in a column of water without sinking or surfacing.

WISE enables and energises people in business, industry and education to increase the participation, contribution and success of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

WISE members inspire girls to choose maths, physics and computing. WISE members attract, retain, develop and progress female talent in their companies. Our mission – gender parity in the UK’s scientific, technology and engineering workforce – from classroom to boardroom.
