We're just catching up on showing you some of our latest videos from the amazing Sixty Symbols! Here Emma Chapman, an academic in the School and author of First Light, discusses the search for extraterrestrial life youtube.com/watch?v=OXMBoz…

I think my favourite part is the pipette sneaking in at the end 😂

One of my main motivations for founding Our World in Data was to overcome the mad reality in academia that much of the most important research and data is locked away behind paywalls.

I wanted research and data to be a public good, accessible to *everyone*.

If you find our work…

Pleasure to present earlier today at the UoN Polymer Symposium.
I can see a great time of collaboration ahead!

Wow! UoN Physics & Astronomy research on the front page of Nasa's X-ray observatory [today] :) chandra.si.edu/index.html

Dr Helen Russell from the School of Physics and Astronomy has led the publication of a paper using data from the @nasa Chandra Observatory Chandra X-ray observatory, with co-authors from the University and international collaborators. chandra.si.edu/photo/2024/h18…

Can blue light be converted to red without loss of energy? Lots of potential applications - e.g. more efficient solar cells.
This paper describes how to overcome one key barrier to achieving this. Needs both photophysics & soft matter expertise Victor Gray Daniel Toolan Mike Weir

Myself and Mike Weir started writing our parts to this manuscript during some neutron time at the ILL in Grenoble in 2019. It's been quite the journey, but a really nice paper linking structure <> function for our quantum dot : organic semiconductor films!

Does anyone out there know if Irish nationals have UK fees status for doing a PhD in the UK?

Our latest experiments were a lot of fun to do! We hole punch inexpensive piezos and suspend membranes across the holes. Piezos drive the membranes and a microphone is used to measure their vibrational spectrum. Peaks tell us about film tension/properties. link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/Ph…

Hey fellow kids.
Young people still call that mobile electronic device in their pocket a 'phone', right?
