The Royal Astronomical Society’s 2018 Herschel Medal has been awarded to a ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ astrophysicist - Professor Tom Marsh.

A researcher at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ is challenging the theory that ‘Santa got stuck up the chimney’ by suggesting that he uses ‘quantum tunnelling’ to get himself in and out of our homes.

A new ‘double-glazing’ solar power device – which is unlike any existing solar panel and opens up fresh opportunities to develop more advanced photovoltaics – has been invented by ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ researchers.

A giant planet – the existence of which was previously thought extremely unlikely – has been discovered by an international collaboration of astronomers, with the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ taking a leading role.

Two ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ academics have been recognised by the Royal Society’s Wolfson Merit Award scheme, awarded to outstanding scientists to support their research careers at UK universities.

Dr Emma Pickwell-MacPherson, of the Ultrafast and Terahertz Photonics Group in the Department of Physics, and Professor Nasir Rajpoot, an expert in cancer histology image analysis, will receive additional funding to support their research at Warwick over the next five years.

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ physicists have joined a new $500 million international partnership to probe some of universe’s most mysterious particles, thanks to the UK Government’s investment of £65 million in the programme. The flagship global science project, based in the United States, could change our understanding of the universe.
