The MANDELA project has officially launched at UWC and UniZulu, in collaboration with the University of York, to open nuclear physics laboratories in South Africa. The construction of two nuclear physics laboratories in South Africa has been completed. The laboratories...

Researchers at CERN announced on 22 April 2022 that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has restarted after a three-year break for maintenance, consolidation, and upgrade work. What has the Large Hadron Collider observed since it restarted? On 22 April 2022, two...

The CMS Experiment at CERN has successfully measured the mass of the top-quark with greater precision than ever before. In order to understand the world at its smallest scale, it is vital to have an accurate assessment of the top-quark...

Researchers from the University of Tokyo use muon particle technology to observe and detect tsunami waves. Highly energetic particles called muons are ever present in the atmosphere and can pass through large objects with ease. Sensitive detectors installed along the...

Scientists at the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) have attained the most precise measurement yet of the mass of the W boson.  After a decade of research and analysis, researchers working with the CDF collaboration at the US Department of...

A new centre for science in the North East – which will be ran by Northumbria and Newcastle Universities – represents a significant boost for the region.  Big data is the special application of data science, in which the large...

Researchers at PSI have utilised nanomagnets to analyse their behaviour under certain temperature changes, to allow a better understanding of processes that take place within artificial spin ice. When water freezes to form ice, the water molecules, alongside their hydrogen and...

A collaborative group of engineers have created a material that prevents inexpensive catalysts from degrading in cell-powered vehicles. A collaborative team, including engineers at the University of Illinois Chicago, has developed a material that has the potential to give fuel...

The UK Government is providing a £3m support package for Ukrainian research community involved in academic research in Britain, in order to facilitate the continuation of their important work. On 27 March 2022, the Government announced that the Ukrainian research...

Researchers with CERN’s ATLAS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider have achieved the first observation of electroweak top-quark–photon production. The top quark is incredibly unique; it is the heaviest known particle and thus interacts with the Higgs boson. The top...
