Flashback Friday: I was reminded this morning of the fantastic award-winning The Science Show that students from UoN Physics & Astronomy ran on URN for many years. Who remembers the vortex cannon? youtube.com/watch?v=4b2SV3…

Lunch once again proving useful for illustrating the necessity of the cos(δ) term.

And now....the third time! 😲 #LeapYear

Two words: quantum tornado ⚛️🌪️

Absolutely fascinating talk today by @uon_physics alum Stuart Muldrew on plans for a prototype fusion power plant being built in Nottinghamshire. Also great to hear how an astronomy PhD is actually excellent training to become a "Principle Fusion Technologist"! UK Atomic Energy Authority

This was a really fun Sixty Symbols video to make. Special thanks to Paul Munday for the demos

We tutor 220 state school kids EVERY week to increase the number & diversity of excellent mathematicians. In Sept we TRIPLE our cohort, so need more great ONLINE tutors. Can you spare at least 5 hrs/week? £27.50/h & it's a good cause. Pls send note & CV to [email protected]

Delighted to be part of a collective rant against university league tables with Meghan Gray and Philip Moriarty (including my plea at 20:20 for a DORA-style initiative to rid us of these parasitic evil entities once and for all). youtu.be/3zSkxkXkJHE

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…

Sixty Symbols We also want you to hold your head high if things haven't gone to plan. Our cohort has top exam performers, students who applied through clearing, and people who took a gap year or a foundation year. Day One in the lecture theatre is a fresh start. bit.ly/3WCE8xb

T minus 2 days to A-level Results Day and the start of Clearing. See our advice from UoN Physics & Astronomy & good luck 👇

More extraordinary work from Tom Williams (former PhysSoc Nottingham 🚀 @uon_physics AstroSec), winning not one but TWO categories at the Royal Museums Greenwich Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition. Congrats Tom! #APY16 x.com/tw__astro/stat…

Who knew Einstein was an experimentalist with such a cavalier approach to Health & Safety? (seriously though, check out uonphysics on instagram to see what else Einstelf has got up to in the run-up to Christmas) instagram.com/p/DD6oqMjMhGu/…

From now till April 2025, Lakeside Arts will be showcasing "Cosmic Titans", a ground breaking art-science exhibition exploring the quantum universe. Check it out: lakesidearts.org.uk/exhibition/cos…
