New grant awarded in collaboration with WMG to develop fusion shielding
Dr Jessica Marshall has been awarded £236,000, out of a possible £250,000 for a six-moth research project funded by the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA)Link opens in a new window, marking a significant step forward in the development of Novel shielding materials and technologies for fusion shielding.
The project launched in collaboration with Dr Shubham Sharma and Professor Darren Hughes from Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) aims to explore low-activation radiation-dense shielding solutions for practical fusion reactors.

Warwick physicist helps achieve observation of rare particle interaction
An international analysis team within the ATLAS collaboration, led by a scientist from the University of Warwick, has observed WWγ production — a rare process where two W bosons and a photon are produced together. This discovery provides new insight into the electroweak force, one of the fundamental forces governing particle interactions.
