Communities in this Community
- Wide range of research programmes linked to experimental and instrumental programmes at the cutting edge of astronomical technology
- Research centred on the development of understanding of quantum aspects of condensed matter, from atomic Bose-Einstein condensates to semiconductor quantum dots
- Research areas include biophysics, biomaterials, nanoscience and Physics of Medicine, using techniques and inspirations from classical polymer physics, soft matter physics and the study of condensed matter
- A major facility for designing, manufacturing and testing a new generation of superconducting detectors for astrophysics and the applied sciences
- Work based upon experiments at high energy particle accelerators, with group members making up part of international collaborations
- Involved in a wide range of projects in the general area of machine learning and information theory
- New materials are constructed in which atoms are arranged in sophisticated ways on the nanometre-scale; these meta-materials often display properties that are not observed in the constituents they are made from
- Fundamental physics studies in different aspects of organic semiconductor materials, aiming to understand the physics at the detailed quantum mechanical level
- Studies matter under extreme conditions, i.e. at very low temperatures, high magnetic fields and high pressure, using advanced experimental techniques
