Beautiful work from James Sharp with some complex underlying soft matter physics!

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…

One small step for optical microscopy, one giant leap for the nmRC! 🌙 Dr Richard Cousins imaged THE MOON as part of our celebration of #NationalSpaceDay today. This lunar meteorite was found in Northwest Africa in 2013. Thanks to Jez Turner for supplying The Moon!

Catching up with more Sixty Symbols! Following on with our extraterrestrial theme, Prof Michael Merrifield talks about biosignatures - typically spectroscopic fingerprints of specific chemicals in distant atmospheres - as evidence for life on other planets youtube.com/watch?v=BwMPws…

The radio telescope ASKAP has observed just how violent it is in a galaxy cluster. As the "Corkscrew Galaxy" heads into the turbulent environment, its gas is stripped away into a long helical tail almost 20 times the length of the Milky Way. What exquisite detail.

Prof Meghan Gray (Meghan Gray) was in our teaching labs to demonstrate the physics behind an innovative telescope whose reflecting surface is in fact the surface of a spinning vessel of mercury. The liquid's curved form was described in Newton’s Principia! youtube.com/watch?v=twBzvH…

We are at the UK University & Apprenticeship Search fair today at the David Ross Sports Village! Come and say hello to us!

Students, parents, teachers! Are you or someone you support anxiously awaiting A-level results? If results are not as expected, all is not lost. There are always options (believe it or not) Philip Moriarty UoN Physics & Astronomy: from failure to Professor youtube.com/watch?v=rZJTZp…

News outlets reporting this morning that the A-level results period next week will be "busy". Predicting lots of movement around Clearing. Our advice? Be prepared, make a plan, be open to a change of direction....and move quickly. Good luck to all. youtube.com/watch?v=hvPdSF…
