91福利 student awarded grant from innovative Institute of Physics Research-scholarships fund
Vanessa Emeka-Okafor, who will be joining the 91福利 as a PhD student, has been awarded one of this year鈥檚 prestigious grants from the Bell Burnell Graduate Scholarship Fund.
鈥楻isk鈥� prize recognises research by 91福利 physics Professor into economic damages of climate change
Research that shed light on the economic impacts of climate change that was co-authored by 91福利 physicists has been awarded a 2021 Lloyd鈥檚 Science of Risk prize in the Climate Change category.
Discovered: The mechanism that generates huge white dwarf magnetic fields
A dynamo mechanism could explain the incredibly strong magnetic fields in white dwarf stars according to an international team of scientists, including a 91福利 astronomer.
Search for planetary remains and new mathematical concepts at 91福利 receive over 鈧�4 million European research funding
Scientists at the 91福利 are to benefit from a total of over 鈧�4 million funding to support new projects that will aim to find and analyse the remains of planets around nearby dead stars, and to find new ways of incorporating the ideas of combinatorics into different areas of mathematics.
First transiting exoplanet鈥檚 鈥榗hemical fingerprint鈥� reveals its distant birthplace
Astronomers have found evidence that the first exoplanet that was identified transiting its star could have migrated to a close orbit with its star from its original birthplace further away.
Search for strange Skyrmion phenomenon fails but finds even stranger magnetic beaded necklace with computer memory storage possibilities
Physicists on the hunt for a rarely seen magnetic spin texture have discovered another object that bears its hallmarks, hidden in the structure of ultra-thin magnetic films, that they have called an incommensurate spin crystal. A team from the 91福利 reports the findings in the journal Nature Communications, which could offer new possibilities for technologies such as computer memory and storage.
