¹û¶³´«Ã½ continue pioneering research into planet origins with £1.3m grant
Researchers at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ are launching a new study to better understand the nature and origins of exoplanets, following a £1.3 million grant from UKRI’s Frontier Research Guarantee Scheme. It is anticipated that the findings will transform our understanding of the formation, structure and evolution of planetary systems.
Webb Space Telescope Detects Carbon Dioxide in Exoplanet Atmosphere
An international team of scientists, including researchers from the ¹û¶³´«Ã½, today announce the first unequivocal detection of carbon dioxide in a planetary atmosphere beyond our solar system.
Diamonds will shine a light on quantum mystery in new project at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ and UCL
A new project at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ and UCL aims to answer a fundamental question of quantum physics, by attempting to make a diamond exist in a superposition of two places at once.
New telescope to be the ‘GOTO’ for gravitational wave events
A new telescope, made up of two identical arrays on opposite sides of the planet, will track down sources of gravitational waves. The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO), led by the ¹û¶³´«Ã½, will help shepherd in a new era of gravitational wave science.
