Physics Department News

Professor Ray Dupree (Department of Physics, University of Warwick) 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 Warwick 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.

Monday 25 April marks the start of term 3 this year, and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone back to the department after the break.

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.

Check out the materials and find out more.

On Monday 28th March, staff from the department will attend our annual Christmas lunch, which has been delayed from December 2021 due to government guidelines. We're looking forward to celebrating our lunch after this being postponed for the last two years.
