Hot, one million K plasma loops in the corona of the Sun, observed with the Solar Dynamics Observatory - [Prof Nakariakov]

Optically detected EPR. Measuring the spin state of electrons in diamond using light and manipulating the spin states using microwaves - [Dr Kemp]

The Rosette Nebula, a region of star formation with molecular gas and dust, lit up by its young stars. The image is part the first detailed map of the galactic plane, in which Warwick astronomers are involved.

Probing nanoscale devices on a strained silicon wafer - [Prof Leadley]

V838 Mon, a star located about 20,000 light years from Earth, captured by Hubble Space Telescope. It underwent a large outburst a few years ago which may have been caused by the merger of two stars - [Prof Marsh]

According to general relativity spinning objects twist the spacetime around them. This could be an explanation for CP violation - [Dr Hadley] more...

Hubble Space Telescope image of the "Cat's eye nebula", which is a star in one of its final stages. At this point it throws off most of its mass and leaves behind an object called a white dwarf, visible as the white point at the centre of the nebula. We do lots of work here on white dwarfs.

Material characterisation is at the forefront of a wide range modern technological innovations and requires the brightest x-ray beams and complex sample environments such as those provided by the XMaS beamline located at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility - [Dr Hase]

DNP and ENDOR probes meet in the middle. Probing and using the electron nucleus interactions from both the nuclei's and electron's point of view.

Quantum mechanics rests on the wave-particle duality. With such graphs of multifractal exponents we study how quantum interference can turn a metal (top sheet) into an insulator (bottom sheet) - [Prof. Roemer]

Funding for Postgraduate positions available.

New academic posts 2012

The University of Warwick is looking to significantly enhance and expand its activities and capabilities in Condensed Matter and Materials Physics by supporting a series of new appointments in Physics.

This initiative builds on significant recent investment, including a new Materials and Analytical Sciences building (joint with the Department of Chemistry) and over £10M of capital investment in Advanced Materials and Energy research from the Science Cities programme. Warwick is now equiped with a wide range of state-of-the-art preparation and analysis facilities that can be applied to bulk and thin film materials and devices.
