Professor Michael Johnston has been given the International Society of Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz) Kenneth J Button Award 2027.

A spin-out from the University of Oxford is set to benefit from a share of £50 million of government funding, part of a wider goal to make the UK a world leader in quantum sensing by 2030.

Teams from Oxford welcomed the University of Oxford’s Vice Chancellor Professor Irene Tracey during the extended shutdown to showcase plans for the future.

The Department of Physics has expanded its series of taster sessions for Year 11 students to include those in Year 10 as well – and instead of one session each year, there are now three: one per term.

The most recent Savilian professor, Steven Balbus FRS, held the chair from 2012-2024 and, last year, co-edited a book on the topic; we spoke with him to find out what it means to hold the title.

Physicists at the University of Oxford have used a quantum network to entangle several atoms across two separate locations; the atoms are two different elements, strontium and calcium.

Oxford graduate student publishes study showing derivations of quantum probability depend on the same assumption: that the probabilities of mutually exclusive outcomes can be summed.

Professor JC Séamus Davis has been awarded the Institute of Physics Michael Faraday Medal and Prize for his discovery and exploration of macroscopic quantum phenomena and states of matter.

Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed a new way to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) that circumvents the need for machine-learning models to rediscover relationships that physicists already know how to describe.

An international team of astronomers including Dr Kaustubh Rajwade from the University of Oxford, have identified the most distant fast radio burst (FRB) seen to date.

Researchers have used an AI technique called equation discovery to derive, directly from observational data, three simple equations that describe how the North Atlantic Ocean, atmosphere and rainfall interact over decades.

We work among extraordinary people doing extraordinary things; we meet DPhil student, Jiaxuan Zhang
