#ThrowbackThursday: celebrating 150 years of the Clarendon Laboratory back in 2022 with members of the department. Join us on 11 November as Timothy Baker presents his new book on the history of physics at Oxford. More info, link in bio/events.

Alumni: Join us at Oxford & Cambridge Club on 23 Oct - only a few places left, book soon. The evening will be hosted by Professor Andrew Boothroyd (Head of Physics) and our guest speakers will be Professor Kimberly Palladino and Dr Saqlain Choudhary. To book, check link in bio.

Oxford Physics is proud to be part of IceCube, the collaboration behind this year's Nobel Prize-winning discovery of high-energy cosmic neutrinos 🧊 We've been members since the collaboration formed in 2004, and are its only UK institution. Congratulations to Prof Francis Halzen and the whole team!

Precision engineering for science – and for beauty. Our skilled mechanical workshop team took time out from making parts for telescopes and particle detectors to craft new signage for the Oxford Quantum Institute, led by Prof Ian Walmsley. The result? This precision-crafted copper beauty.

We're delighted to welcome our new cohort of graduate students to the Department of Physics. This week they began their inductions with a lecture from Prof Ard Louis. To all our new students: We're delighted you're here, and we can't wait to see where your research takes you.

Dr Richard Nies has been awarded the APS Marshall N. Rosenbluth Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Award. His research on plasma turbulence and flows in fusion reactors addresses a key barrier to energy confinement in nuclear fusion. More via link in bio.

Oxford physicists used a hybrid quantum computer to simulate a core quantum phenomenon called the Aharonov-Bohm effect. The setup shows how hybrid quantum systems can model complex particle interactions beyond classical computing limits. More via link in bio.

A University of Oxford study in Nature Cities reveals that while economic growth expanded access to cleaner cooking in India, coal power reliance drove a 30% rise in urban pollution deaths between 2000 and 2020. Findings have wide global implications. Read more via the link in bio.
