Official opening of the UK's most powerful NMR Facility
We are excited to share that the UK's first-ever 1.2 GHz magnet was officially opened this summer.
The event marked a milestone in NMR Spectroscopy as the most powerful magnet operational in the UK, and one of less than 15 similar magnets in the world. The facility will allow better resolution and increased sensitivity.
The Ogden Trust announced annual award recognising the exceptional contributions of postgraduate ambassadors to Physics outreach
Congratulations to Joe Creegen who received The Ogden Trust award for exceptional contribution to Physics outreach highlighting his dedication and ongoing support of the department's outreach work.
University of Warwick 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 Orbyts conferenceLink opens in a new window at the University of Warwick on 20th of June this year.
Dr Rebecca Nealon awarded ARC Future Fellowship at Monash University
Congratulations to Dr Rebecca Nealon (previously Astronomy and Astrophysics Group) who has recently relocated to Monash University, Melbourne and has been awarded an ARC Future Fellowship.
Dr Nealon's project titled 'Solving the mysteries of warped discs to reveal how planets are born in evolving star systems' will delve into the origins of planet formation in warped discs. Planets are born in dusty, swirling gas discs called protoplanetary discs. However, the process by which these planets are created is still poorly understood and recent observations of discs show interesting geometries like warps. Dr Nealon's project will use these warps to explain how and when planets are born.
