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.
Dr Ingrid Pelisoli wins early career Royal Astronomical Society Award
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 awarded 'Into Change' award
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.
MicroBooNE experiment publishes in Nature
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.
Solving a decade-old open problem in quantum sensing
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.
