Recent progress in kilojoule-scale high-intensity lasers has opened up new areas of research in radiography, laboratory astrophysics, high-energy-density physics, and fast-ignition (FI) laser fusion.

What is the purpose of prescribed practical P4? To investigate experimentally the relationship between the mass and volume of liquids and regular solids, and analyse and interpret the data gathered.

New scientific results confirm an anomaly seen in previous experiments, which may point to an as-yet-unconfirmed new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino, or indicate the need for a new ...

The acoustic properties of an ultracold fermion gas have been measured either side of the superfluid transition temperature in an experiment that has been described as “near perfect” and “beautiful”.

Visualizing the mechanism of charge transfer between two oxides. (Courtesy: W Gao, UC Irvine) Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) can be used to detect electric charge density as well as ...

In the research field of the history and philosophy of physics, Professor Emeritus Allan Franklin studies the long-term impacts of physics discoveries on the scientific community and the greater ...
