The quantum particle in a box is a hallmark problem in physics, familiar to every physics undergraduate. Somewhat surprisingly, the problem becomes very complex if the particle is kicked around by an external force. Already in a one-dimensional world this leads to chaotic behaviour. In this case, the chaotic state reaches...

A new NetworkPlus to help develop the UK’s capabilities in creating novel and innovative metamaterials will be established with £2.5m of funding secured from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation(UKRI). Expanding on the previous UK Metamaterials Network (funded...

In their latest research on dark matter scientists have collected vital clues about the ‘coldness’ of the mysterious component making up 80% of all matter, revealing a deep connection between dark matter and the formation of galaxies in the early Universe. With the help of powerful telescopes, the researchers based at the...

The excavation of the caverns that will house the gigantic particle detectors of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) in Lead, South Dakota is complete. Final outfitting of the colossal caverns will begin soon and make way for the start of the installation of the DUNE detectors later this year. This momentous...
