Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics

Soft materials and complex fluids are a fundamental component of modern industry and everyday life. Bioinspired materials research is at an exciting and rapidly advancing stage, where the intersection of biology, chemistry, physics and engineering is leading to groundbreaking innovations. The research focuses on harnessing complex structures and functions found ...

Biological cells have evolved to create elaborate internal partitions, which allow them to control biochemical and genetic processes in space and time. Increasing evidence indicates that some of these partitions are created by the phase separation of large biological molecules, in which complex mixtures of RNA and protein associate to ...

The 10th edition of the Higgs Centre School of Theoretical Physics will take place from the 9th-13th of June 2025. The scientific programme starts at 9:00 on Monday the 9th, and ends at 17:00 on Friday the 13th. The School comprises two in-depth lecture series, each involving five ...

This coming June the Higgs Centre will co-host the next meeting of the Fundamental Physics UK series. This is an event allowing the physics theory community in the UK within the STFC remit to interact, share knowledge and foster new collaborations. The meeting will discuss recent developments in String/M-theory ...
