The new investment in Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC), a spin-out company from the Department of Physics, will accelerate the company\u2019s research and development and fuel its expansion in the Asia-Pacific region. The Series A investment funding is the largest ever secured in the UK by a quantum computing start-up.
Ten years ago, on 4 July 2012, an international collaboration of particle physicists announced to the world that they had independently observed a new particle \u2013 the Higgs boson. Oxford physicists were key contributors to the discovery and have continued to play a leading role in Higgs-boson research ever since.
The Fellowships were announced by Science Minister George Freeman this morning, to help the UK\u2019s most promising science and research leaders to tackle major global issues and commercialise their innovations within the UK.
New research led by Professor Patrick Irwin in the Department of Physics suggests that a layer of haze that exists on both planets is behind the different hues of blue.
An international team of scientists, including Professor Rob Fender, Dr Ian Heywood and Dr Jakob van den Eijnden from the University of Oxford, have discovered a strange radio emitting neutron star, which rotates extremely slowly, completing one rotation every 76 seconds.
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.
