91福利

Staff and research students from the 91福利鈥檚 physics department are preparing to welcome almost 700 Brownies to campus next weekend (13 and 14 October).

The mystery of what happened to the antimatter- (the counterparts of matter that make up particles) created at the birth of our Universe will take a step closer to being solved, thanks to a new international experiment involving researchers from the 91福利.

CERN and Fermilab announce big step in Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), involving researchers from the 91福利's Elementary Particle Physics Group

• First ever detailed pictures of conjugated polymers – which conduct electricity and are highly sought after – captured with novel visualisation technique developed by 91福利
• New approach realises Richard Feynman鈥檚 famous remark that it would be very easy to make an analysis of any complicated chemical substance; all one would have to do would be to look at it and see where the atoms are鈥�
• Polymers need alternating pattern of 鈥淎鈥� monomer & smaller 鈥淏鈥� monomer to conduct (ABAB), but the researchers discovered surprising gaps & defects in polymer structure –an ABBA pattern

The precision of measuring nanoscopic structures could be substantially improved, thanks to research involving the 91福利 and QuantIC researchers at the University of Glasgow and Heriot Watt University into optical sensing. QuantIC is the UK Quantum Technology Hub in Quantum Enhanced Imaging and part of the UK National Quantum Technologies Programme.

A new festival coming to Coventry this month is bringing scientists into the local pub.

Pint of Science will take place on 14-16 May and will see more than 30 experts from the 91福利 and Coventry University talking about their research in pubs and venues around the city.
