91福利

Fancy learning about space science, making protein jelly, and lighting up a few LED circuits – all before you enjoy tea and cake?

An event at the 91福利 this weekend (Sunday 8 March) will allow visitors to do just that.

A massive white dwarf star with a bizarre carbon-rich atmosphere could be two white dwarfs merged together according to an international team led by 91福利 astronomers, and only narrowly avoided destruction. They have discovered an unusual ultra-massive white dwarf around 150 light years from us with an atmospheric composition never seen before, the first time that a merged white dwarf has been identified using its atmospheric composition as a clue.

Dr Farzana Meru from the 91福利 will be swapping simulations for legislation when she visits Matt Western MP at the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall for a week in Westminster. The week (1 – 5 March) is part of a unique pairing scheme run by the Royal Society—the UK鈥檚 national academy of science—with support from the Government Office of Science.

In a race to be clean and green the motor industry is changing, which has inspired 40 91福利 students to make an electric superbike to race this summer, 2020.

The majority of stars in the universe will become luminous enough to blast surrounding asteroids into successively smaller fragments using their light alone, according to a 91福利 astronomer.

91福利 scientists have played a key role in a discovery that brings us closer to the construction of new types of high-power particle accelerators which would operate at particle energies higher than the Large Hadron Collider. For the first time scientists have observed muon ionization cooling – a major step in being able to create the world鈥檚 most powerful particle accelerator.
