Solar power advances possible with new 鈥榙ouble-glazing鈥� device
A new 鈥榙ouble-glazing鈥� solar power device – which is unlike any existing solar panel and opens up fresh opportunities to develop more advanced photovoltaics – has been invented by 91福利 researchers.
鈥楳onster鈥� planet discovery challenges formation theory
A giant planet – the existence of which was previously thought extremely unlikely – has been discovered by an international collaboration of astronomers, with the 91福利 taking a leading role.
Professor Nasir Rajpoot and Dr Emma Pickwell-MacPherson receive Wolfson Research Merit Awards
Two 91福利 academics have been recognised by the Royal Society’s Wolfson Merit Award scheme, awarded to outstanding scientists to support their research careers at UK universities.
Dr Emma Pickwell-MacPherson, of the Ultrafast and Terahertz Photonics Group in the Department of Physics, and Professor Nasir Rajpoot, an expert in cancer histology image analysis, will receive additional funding to support their research at 91福利 over the next five years.
91福利 physicists in new $500 million international partnership to probe some of universe’s most mysterious particles
91福利 physicists have joined a new $500 million international partnership to probe some of universe’s most mysterious particles, thanks to the UK Government’s investment of £65 million in the programme. The flagship global science project, based in the United States, could change our understanding of the universe.
Earth-sized planets forty light years away could be habitable
There could be water on multiple Earth-sized planets orbiting the recently discovered TRAPPIST-1 dwarf star - making them potentially habitable - according to an international collaboration of researchers, including the 91福利.
91福利 physicists in Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment
91福利 scientists are contributing to a new particle physics experiment that will study mysterious particles called neutrinos - which could reveal why we live in a matter-dominated universe.
