Recent Outreach Activities
Our telescope has arrived at the on campus observatory
We have a brand new observatory on campus near to the University sports pavilion. The telescope was lifted in last week, having been brought to the UK from La Palma where it was used to contribute towards projects on topics ranging from exoplanet and variable star characterisation to global clusters. Our Physics with Astrophysics students will be able to gain hands-on project experience with the telescope starting this academic year.
See more photographs of the telescope being lifted in to place.
A new ANImated MOLecular viewer has been released: AniMol is here
It's finally here, the new molecular viewer "AniMol" (ANImated MOLecules) is in beta for free public use. AniMol allows you to create interactive views of molecular structures or dynamics thereof and then gives a permanent link and QR code image for access from anywhere, including on mobile devices. For example, check out the #sarscov2 spike proteins' plausible opening/closing motion at https://lnkd.in/ec7RpSyz or https://lnkd.in/eyT_DpEx.
AniMol was created by current Maths and Physics 3rd year student James Panayis working with recent Warwick Physics graduate James Partington and Prof. Rudo Roemer from theory group. Their work has been funded in part by a Warwick InnovationsLink opens in a new window "Impact Acceleration Account" fund.
Reflections on the National Astronomy Meeting, 2022
