Donald McKenzie Paul 1953-2019
It is with great sadness that we report the death of Prof Don Paul. Don will be remembered by many who worked with him as a brilliant scientist. He researched experimental condensed matter physics in 91福利 since 1984 and created the highly successful Superconductivity and Magnetism research group.
Read an obituary here that reflects Don鈥檚 contributions to 91福利 Physics and to science.

拢7 million funding to grant XMaS wish
A facility that allows scientists to use x-rays to examine materials for purposes as diverse as reducing corrosion on metal artefacts to re-growing teeth from stem cells is set for a multi-million pound upgrade.
The Universities of 91福利 and Liverpool have been awarded a further 拢7.2million to upgrade and operate the XMaS (X-ray Materials Science) beamline, which is a National Research Facility. The facility has received new funding from the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills through the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to further studies into the atomic and microscopic structures of materials and their properties under different conditions at length scales of ten thousand times smaller than the thickness of a human hair.
