¹û¶³´«Ã½

Warm winter spells have increased in frequency and duration two- to three times over since 1878, according to scientists led by the ¹û¶³´«Ã½.

21^st century X-ray technology has allowed ¹û¶³´«Ã½ scientists to peer back through time at the production of the armour worn by the crew of Henry VIII’s favoured warship, the Mary Rose.

Four academics at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ have been awarded a UKRI Future Leader Fellowship, providing world class research in topics ranging from stellar explosions, medieval medical texts for modern medicines, synthetic biology and climate –related financial risks.

Scientists are a step closer to determining whether neutrinos and anti-neutrinos behave differently – potentially solving a key question about the creation of our universe – thanks to new results from an international experiment involving particle physicists at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½.

A ¹û¶³´«Ã½ researcher will be one of the first nine Stephen Hawking Fellows, announced today, who will continue Professor Stephen Hawking’s legacy by furthering our understanding of the universe and communicating the wonders of science to the public. They will tackle major scientific questions such as the nature of the early universe and dark matter and whether string theory really is a ‘theory of everything’, engaging with the public through stand-up comedy, art and music.

Fancy learning about space science, making protein jelly, and lighting up a few LED circuits – all before you enjoy tea and cake?

An event at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ this weekend (Sunday 8 March) will allow visitors to do just that.
