The 'Meat the Future' exhibition at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, which draws on research from LEAP, an interdisciplinary programme involving MPLS zoologists, ecologists and physicists, has won 'Partnership of the Year', while Oxford's History of Science Museum won the 'Visitor Welcome Award'.
Four \u2018excellent research leaders\u2019 at Oxford, three of them from MPLS Division, have today been awarded major European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grants to fund boundary-pushing research projects in Biology, Linguistics, Mathematics and Physics.
Six institutions, including the University of Oxford, are leading efforts to deliver computational systems that will enable the world\u2019s largest radio telescope
An international collaboration of scientists has performed the most precise measurement of the W boson yet \u2013 asking questions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
Professor Myles Allen, University of Oxford and Hugh Helferty, Queen's University Ontario discuss whether Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine makes it harder to stop climate change.
Research recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Oxford-led scientists suggests that Mother Nature plays favourites and that she believes in the elegance of simplicity.
The programme will establish a cross-disciplinary community of researchers in quantum computing and computer science, who will collaborate to address the global challenge of delivering quantum computing that is robust, reliable, and trustworthy.
Researchers provide the first plausible explanation to why one of the most massive black hole pairs observed to date by gravitational waves also seemed to merge on a non-circular orbit. Their suggested solution, now published in Nature, involves a chaotic triple drama inside a giant disk of gas around a super massive black hole in a galaxy far, far away.
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and Wellcome have announced a \u00a318 million investment for nine multidisciplinary research projects through the Physics of Life Strategic Priorities Fund. Two of these projects are co-led by academics in MPLS departments.
Scientists from the University of Oxford are field-testing seismic sensors in the bitter conditions of Antarctica to simulate the solar system\u2019s icy moons.
Researchers studying giant Amazonian waterlilies grown at the University's Botanic Garden have unravelled the engineering enigma behind the largest floating leaves in nature.
Congratulations to Professor Myles Allen, Professor of Geosystem Science in the Environmental Change Institute, School of Geography and the Environment and Department of Physics, who has been appointed CBE in the New Year Honours 2022 for services to climate change attribution, prediction and net zero.
Six scientists from the Department of Physics have been recognised by the Institute of Physics in this year\u2019s IOP awards along with a seventh physicist from Oxford\u2019s Department of Education. Two academics have also be made Honorary Fellows, the highest accolade presented by the IOP.
The Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division pays tribute to the extraordinary Sir Martin Wood FRS who died on 23 November 2021. Read the obituary by Professor Steve Blundell, Professor Robert Taylor and Professor Ian Shipsey on the Physics website.
Quantum Dice's founders include the Department of Physics\u2019 Ramy Aboushelbaya and Marko Mayr; the company is developing the world\u2019s first compact source-device independent quantum random number generator set to play a key role in the cybersecurity market.
\u2018There is no way we are going to be able to ban the entire world from using fossil fuels in time to meet our climate goals,\u2019 warns Professor Myles Allen, the Oxford expert credited with first demonstrating, 15 years ago, the need for \u2018Net-Zero\u2019 carbon dioxide emissions to stop global warming.
Six young academics from across the University of Oxford have today been given Philip Leverhulme prizes \u2013 the largest number awarded to researchers of any university.
Recent research (joint between the University of Oxford, Rockefeller University, and Princeton University) has found that the way tardigrades coordinate their 'walking' motion mirrors the stepping patterns of larger panarthropods such as stick insects and spiders.
