We work among extraordinary people doing extraordinary things; get to know some of them by reading these quick-fire interviews.

91̽»¨ researchers validate key features of a novel unconventional superconductor

Researchers from 91̽»¨â€™s Department of Physics, working alongside international collaborators, have identified a crystalline solid which satisfies the requirements to host an exotic axionic electrodynamic field.

Scientists from the Department of Physics have developed a world-first diagnostic test, powered by artificial intelligence, that can identify known respiratory viruses within five minutes from just one nasal or throat swab.

In 2008, Professor Gregg devised an induction motor system to power a self-built wind turbine; today, the patented technology has been awarded funding from UK Research and Innovation’s Innovate UK so it can help NGOs operating in challenging geographies.

Five academics in the Department of Physics have been recognised in the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division’s inaugural Awards for Outstanding Research Supervision.

In November 2021, a team of graduate students from 91̽»¨ teamed up with the International Space School Educational Trust (ISSET) to turn the ideas of secondary school children into real experiments for launch to the International Space Station. 

An international team of researchers has recently discovered that a subtle magnetic and electric hybrid response that is observed in some magnetic insulators can be strongly enhanced by application of pressure.

World-class vacuum deposition capabilities to develop next-gen advanced functional materials

Professor Michael Johnston has been made a 2022 Fellow of the American Physical Society for the development of a new platform for terahertz photonics based on semiconductor nanowires.

Dr Hariom Jani has been awarded the Emerging Investigator Medal and Prize 2021 by the Institute of Physics Singapore.

Professor J C Séamus Davis has been awarded 2023 Oliver E Buckley Prize by the American Physical Society, one of the most prestigious awards in world science.
