Researchers from the Cavendish Laboratory have uncovered a new realm of topological phases, advancing our understanding of quantum phenomena. Topological phases, characterised by electrons forming intricate collective entangled structures or knots that cannot be undone, have long intrigued physicists for their distinct...

Professor Akshay Rao is the only Cambridge researcher to be awarded an ERC Proof of Concept Grant for turning his groundbreaking battery research into tangible innovation. Charge Photometry could become an indispensable part of battery research and help accelerate the development of new battery technologies fit for a...

Researchers may have identified the missing component in the chemistry of the Venusian clouds that would explain their colour and splotchiness in the UV range, solving a long-standing mystery. Venus is our nearest neighbour, but it remains a mystery. We will have a chance to learn much more about this planet in the coming...

The Cavendish Annual thesis prize recognises outstanding achievements in computational, experimental, and theoretical physics research conducted by PhD students. This year was once again marked by a remarkable number of outstanding nominations. The panel of judges have identified three exceptional candidates who stand out...
