A major new research hub will focus on the development of low-cost, portable devices to identify and visualise cancer using optical, acoustic and photoacoustic imaging. The Optical and Acoustic Imaging for Surgical and Interventional Sciences (OASIS) hub, is one of five hubs that aims to transform healthcare through the...

A new study by an international team of physicists proposes that a mysterious force known as “early dark energy” could solve two of the biggest puzzles in cosmology, and fill in some major gaps in our understanding of how the early universe evolved. The two puzzles in question are the “Hubble tension,” which refers to a...

Cavendish physicists have discovered two new ways to improve organic semiconductors. They found a way to remove more electrons from the material than previously possible and used unexpected properties in an environment known as the non-equilibrium state, boosting its performance for use in electronic devices. Transport in...

The annual Mark Warner Prize for talented theoretical physicists has been awarded to Ziyou Lu for his outstanding work in Experimental and Theoretical Physics in Part II (3rd year) of the Natural Sciences Tripos. The level of mathematics required for the theoretical physics courses are higher than the other courses, but I...
