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.

Congratulations to Dr Ingrid Pelisoli who has been awarded the 2026 Royal Astronomical Society Fowler AwardLink opens in a new window for her noteworthy discoveries related to binary star systems and stellar mergers.

Astronomers Professor Andrew Levan and Professor Danny Steeghs, founding members and part of the key ENGRAVELink opens in a new window committees, have been awarded the 'Into Change'Link opens in a new window award which honours outstanding European research that drives scientific breakthroughs.

The team have shown how the universe's heaviest elements are forged in rare and powerful involving neutron stars, known as kilonovae, and their results were recently showcased in our annual Christmas Lectures.

An international collaboration of scientists, including Warwick physicists Drs. John Marshall, Andy Chappell and Ryan Cross, have shown that a fourth type of neutrino can't explain anomalous results from earlier neutrino experiments.

The Quantum Information Science group has developed a new technique to evaluate the fundamental limits to the precision of estimating parameters of a quantum matter system probed by light, even when some of the light is lost. The work has been published in PRX Quantum.

Recent research by Snehalata Sahu Link opens in a new windowon the discovery of a hot white dwarf merger remnant has attracted the attention of Astronomy Now magazine editor Stuart Clark. Impressed by her unique blend of science and creativity, they reached out to feature her astronomy-inspired artwork in the magazine's October issue.
