Applications of Fast Pixel Detectors in Particle Physics, Mass Spectrometry, Atom Probe Tomography and elsewhere
Operating, upgrading, and analysing the physics of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.
We develop laser-based diagnostic techniques, taking advantage of linear and non-linear optical phenomena - primarily in the gas phase.
The theoretical and computational physics of systems with many interacting constituents, from strongly correlated quantum materials to soft and biological matter.
Particle physics is not just huge detectors and collaborations. We study funadmental particles from a different perspective, with small high precision experiments.
Our research focuses on studies of the Interstellar Medium, properties of dust and molecules both in our own and distant galaxies. We investigate the interplay between star formation and AGN activity.
This research area focuses on the detection and characterisation of planets around other stars than the Sun, or exoplanets.
We study the dynamics of galaxies, with emphasis on the Milky Way and other galaxies in the Local Group.
NGC 4414, a typical spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices, is about 55,000 light-years in diameter and approximately 60 million light-years away from Earth. (Image: NASA)
We study the fundamental principles underlying the dynamics of planetary atmospheres using numerical models and laboratory experiments.
Laser development: 73m fibre laser amplifier wound on 10cm square spindle.
Leverhulme International Network on Femtosecond X-ray Sources Driven by Plasma Accelerators
Performing precision tests of the physics of beautiful and charming particles at the Large Hadron Collider.
We theoretically study the dyanmics and nature of quantum correlations and coherence in ultracold matter
The group studies the properties of neutrinos, one of the most abundant particles in the Universe.
We design and build state-of-the-art instruments for a wide range of ground based observatories.
We study the microscopic ordering of electrons within quantum materials, which gives rise to novel material properties of significance in future technology
We study the fundamental nature of matter and forces in the universe ... seeking to explain why the world is the way it is?
We study compact accelerators based on plasma waves, and applications arising from them.
Our group explore experimentally quantum properties of novel electronic and magnetic materials using neutron scattering and thermodynamic probes.
Our goal is to create and understand new quantum states of matter as well as exploit their properties for the next generation of functional devices.
Our research uses high magnetic fields and low temperatures to probe novel phases of matter in a series of quantum materials.
Ultracold quantum gases, strongly correlated systems, quantum optics, cavity QED, nanophotonics
DNA is used as a construction material for molecular scaffolds, as instructions that switch devices between states and as fuel for molecular motors

We study systems in which huge numbers of particles interact through long-range forces.
Exploration of epitaxial thin film quantum materials by molecular beam epitaxy and UHV sputtering
X-ray and neutron scattering are the principal techniques used to study a wide range condensed matter phenomena.
