The team behind the UK’s first female urinal have raised £250,000 in their first funding round, as they strive to pioneer ‘pee-equality’ for women and make long queues for the ladies a thing of the past.
In conversation with Professor Tom Scott (School of Physics) and Dr Paul Harper, theme leads at the Cabot Institute
Angus Siberry, a PhD student from the School of Physics, was awarded the Best Presentation prize at the recent TRANSCEND consortium conference, sponsored by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
The University of Bristol has been awarded £505,000 R&D funding, as part of the UK Japan Civil Nuclear Programme to develop laser contamination cleaning techniques for nuclear industry applications.
On Wednesday 27th of October we hosted a training and collaboration session for a group of Undergraduate Physics Students who have volunteered to help with upcoming Circus & Physics workshops.
A big congratulations to Dr Siân Fussell, a recent BCFN graduate, who has recently been awarded the Faculty Doctoral Prize for best doctoral thesis.
Associate Professor Jonathan Matthews has been awarded the 2021 Philip Leverhulme Prize for physics.
The University of Bristol is among fifteen organisations who have secured UKAEA contracts to demonstrate how their innovative solutions and technologies can contribute to the development of commercial fusion energy.
A UK-Ukraine team will implement a low-cost environmental and aerosol monitoring provision inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone for fire monitoring and risk management.
Physics researchers will lead one of six new projects looking at novel ways to reduce the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions, by advancing tritium technology for fusion power stations.
Superconductivity in cuprates: ‘from maximal to minimal dissipation’ - a new paradigm? Researchers from the School of Physics used some of Europe’s strongest continuous magnetic fields to uncover evidence of exotic charge carriers in the metallic state of copper-oxide high-temperature superconductors (high-Tc cuprates). Their results have been published last week in Nature [1]. In a related publication in SciPost Physics the week before [2], members from the same team postulated that it is these exotic charge carriers that form the superconducting pairs, in marked contrast with expectations from conventional theory.
The School recently had its audit for the Students Organising for Sustainability (SOS-UK) Green Impact awards for 2021 and we are very pleased to announce that we have achieved a Gold award for HH Wills Physics Lab this year.
The University of Bristol has become the first University in the world to achieve institutional Green Labs certification – this is an incredible achievement for the University and the wider STEM community.
Jonathan is a Physics Ph.D. student at the University of Bristol and focuses on an alternative method to assessing coral health using Hyperspectral Reflectance and Fluorescence Imaging. Read more about his work below.
Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, SweGaN AB, and the University of Bristol are partnering in the European Space Agency funded Kassiopeia project. The teams join forces to develop high-performance Ka-band GaN MMICs (monolithic microwave integrated circuits). Applications for these devices include beam steering antennas for satellite communications and radar applications.
Professor Tom Scott has been appointed as Royal Academy of Engineering Research Chair in Advancing the Fusion Energy Fuel Cycle.
As part of the University of Bristol's activities for the Climate Day of Action on Friday 26th Feb 2021, the School of Physics held a panel discussion on Physics and Climate.
A U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) award is empowering the Centre for Device Thermography and Reliability (CDTR) at the University of Bristol to create a resilient and sustainable electricity grid with the use of next-generation ultra-wide bandgap materials and devices.
A new paper, released online this week and to be published in Materials and Design, discusses an investigation of the microstructure and mechanical behaviour of simulant “lava-like” fuel that contained materials from Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant reactor unit 4.
A new paper, published today in Nature Physics, reports a new aspect of high temperature superconductivity.
A new paper, published today in Nature NPJ Materials Degradation, discusses the use of in -situ High Speed Atom Force Microscopy (HS-AFM) observations in combination with complementary techniques to measure in situ stress corrosion cracking.
