Higgs Summer Forum

Join us for a Summer discussion devoted to the recognition and celebration of the careers and experiences of physicists with caring responsibilities. After the panel, there will be an opportunity for informal discussions with a buffet lunch*. Our panellists are Dr Yanchuan Cai, Reader and Royal Society University Research Fellow ...

Learn about three critical environmental challenges and how we can address them – with science! We will engage in a timely conversation about three global challenges concerning our environment, natural resources, and human activities. And how physics can come to the rescue! Space pollution, and why it is essential to protect ...

Light from stars is one of the main tools that aids in the exploration of the Universe through cosmic time. To do so a good understanding of the properties of stars in particular their masses and luminosities is required. Detailed measurements of individual stars close to us suggest that the ...

Answering questions such as "What is dark matter?" or "What happened directly after the Big Bang?" requires finding new physics, like not yet known particles or forces. Via quantum effects such new physics will contribute tiny amounts to properties of known particles and could be discovered by observing small deviations ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) were developed by humans in an attempt to aid in their innate limitations to see deep into complex data. In recent years we have seen a momentous expansion of the field, fuelled by exponential growth in computing power. While it was easy to ...
