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…


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…


This Sixty Symbols video has a really unique style - I love the direct narrative to camera and the demos look great.


I was really happy to visit Loughborough University yesterday to give a talk on thermoelectric materials in the impressive AACME school Loughborough Engineering Loughborough Science - a warm welcome and some great questions!


We have an EPSRC-funded PhD studentship available in the School of Physics and Astronomy to explore new materials and techniques for energy harvesting. If you think that is you (& have or will receive 2:1+ in a 4 year course) please get in touch at [email protected]


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

New paper - using spin-echo SANS to reveal micro structures in nanocomposite materials. This long(est?)-running work made heavy use of the expertise and instruments at TU Delft and ISIS Neutron and Muon Source. Well done Lassi V. Tiihonen and thanks to Soft Matter doi.org/10.1039/D4SM00…
