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 Oxford’s Department of Physics have demonstrated a new way to control a robot using brain-inspired computing hardware based on physical waves.

We work among extraordinary people doing extraordinary things; get to know some of them by reading these quick-fire interviews. We meet Rachael, Programme Director for the Oxford Quantum Institute.

Graduate students at the cutting edge of physics were able to share their work earlier this year at the 2026 Graduate Condensed Matter Physics Conference.

Physicists at Oxford have developed a new approach in the search for a 'quantum spin liquid', a long-sought state of quantum matter resembling a magnetic liquid whose quantum properties mean it never freezes.

Industry and research partners joined doctoral students and supervisors in Oxford for a day of talks, panel discussions and networking as part of the Superconductivity CDT Residential Week 2026.

Researchers from the University of Oxford, Diamond Light Source, and ShanghaiTech University have developed an advanced X-ray method that, for the first time, enables scientists to observe the complete three-dimensional motion of magnetic waves.

An international team led by Oxford physicist Dr Dumitru Călugăru has directly identified an 'obstructed atomic band' in a two-dimensional quantum material for the first time, opening new possibilities for understanding and designing quantum materials.

Having celebrated the International Year of Quantum last year, here we speak to people across the Department of Physics to find out how they found their way into quantum, what their days look like now, and how they see the field changing.

A new study has shown that certain magnet materials, when excited by microwaves to move in oscillation, emits a wireless signal that can drive nearby magnets to move in sync.

Scientists at Oxford have found a simple and effective way to control magnetism at the nanoscale, opening a new route to engineering advanced materials for next-generation low-energy technologies.
