New analytical work by Cavendish Laboratory researchers shows how true energy gaps can arise in quasicrystals, answering a longstanding open question about these extraordinary materials. Quasicrystals sit between ordinary crystals and fully disordered materials: their atoms...
As fascinating as physics is, it can feel abstract, yet every discovery begins with a person seeking to understand the world they live in. Join us on the first Thursday of every month as we get up close and personal with the researchers, technicians, students, teachers, and people that are the beating heart of Cambridge University’s Physics Department. Listen from our website or your favourite podcast app.
We are delighted that our new home, the Ray Dolby Centre, has won Best New Building (over £3m) at the Greater Cambridge Design and Construction Awards 2026, and received a High Commendation for the David Mackay Award for Engineering and Sustainability. Follow us on Instagram (@cambridgephysics) for the latest updates on Cavendish life: our people, our spaces, and the stories that shape our community.
