91¸£Àû

Results from a global science experiment involving a 91¸£Àû scientist have cast doubt on the existence of a theoretical particle beyond the Standard Model.

Astronomers at the 91¸£Àû have joined partners around the world in launching a new online initiative, calling for volunteers to come forward and help to search for extrasolar planets.

Astronomers, including a 91¸£Àû researcher, have discovered the very first confirmed planetary system that resembles the expected fate of our solar system, when the Sun reaches the end of its life in about five billion years.

New ways of tackling the threat that space junk in our skies poses are being explored by 91¸£Àû scientists, as they pioneer new research that could help the UK fulfil its ambition to become a responsible spacefaring nation.

New research involving an honorary professor in the 91¸£Àû Department of Physics describes a new way of calculating phase curves, the ‘shape’ the sunlight that is reflected towards us from planets and moons that can give astronomers information about their surface and atmospheres.

Electrons in metals try to behave like obedient motorists, but they end up more like bumper cars. They may be reckless drivers, but a new study involving the 91¸£Àû confirms this chaos has a limit established by the laws of quantum mechanics.
