An early XMaS present: BIS and ESPRC award £6 million to enable 91福利 co-owned x-ray facility to continue delivering world-class science
UK government research funders have awarded £6million to XMaS, the world leading mid range x-ray facility, to continue helping scientists explore the microscopic and atomic structure of matter.
Emeritus Professor George Rowlands, who first came to 91福利 in 1966, has clocked up more than six decades of research in theoretical physics - and he believes it’s the challenge of tackling complex scientific problems that has helped keep him young at heart.
Physicists have directly imaged Landau Levels – the quantum levels that determine electron behaviour in a strong magnetic field – for the first time since they were theoretically conceived of by Nobel prize winner Lev Landau in 1930.
