Physics

Oxford Physics Research

Oxford Astrophysics

A video explaining what is Astrophysics and what's going on in Astrophysics at Oxford
Journey of a Molecular Detective; David Sherratt

Space - The Ultimate Laboratory

What can space teach us about the laws of physics? Space is huge and complicated. This is a challenge, but also gives us the ultimate physics lab. Francesca Day explores this further.

How the Universe Evolved From Smooth to Lumpy -- the Physics of Galaxy Formation

The 2014 Halley Lecture delivered by Professor Eliot Quataert
Oxford Physics Public Lectures

PT-symmetric Quantum Mechanics

Physics Colloquium 23rd May Delivered by Professor Carl M. Bender
Journey of a Molecular Detective; David Sherratt

Ether and Wireless: an Old Medium into New Media

Jaume Navarro (Byrne-Bussey Marconi Fellow, 2013) talks about the influence of the idea of the 'ether', an all-pervading substance, in the history of wireless communication.
Oxford Physics Public Lectures

Turning in the Widening Gyre: Accretion Processes in the Universe

Inaugural Lecture by Professor Steven Balbus looking at the history of the universe

The Fast Track to Finding an Inhabited Exoplanet

The 8th Hintze Lecture by Professor David Charbonneau looking at investigating habitable exoplanets.
Power Structuralism in Ancient Ontologies

Aristotle's Dynamics in Physics VII 5: the Importance of Being Conditional

Henry Mendell (California State) gives a talk for the Power Structualism in Ancient Ontologies series
Journey of a Molecular Detective; David Sherratt

Lab, Camera, Action: Tides

The Bay of St Brieuc in Brittany has one of the largest tides on Earth. Dr Andrew Steele takes some time out of his holiday, on the day of the highest tide of the year, to find out why.
Journey of a Molecular Detective; David Sherratt

Lab, Camera, Action: Transit of Venus

In June of 2012, one of the rarest predictable astronomical phenomena took place: Venus passed directly in front of the Sun, as seen from Earth. For more information, visit transitofvenus.org.
Journey of a Molecular Detective; David Sherratt

Lab, Camera, Action: Maglev Train

Wheels are so last century. We’ve got a train set which doesn’t have any; it just floats around the track in a billowing cloud of steam. Dr Andrew Steele explains how our superconducting magnetic levitation—or maglev—train really works.
Journey of a Molecular Detective; David Sherratt

Lab, Camera, Action: Particle Accelerator

Dr Andrew Steele takes a look inside the ISIS particle accelerator in Oxfordshire, where scientists use neutrons to investigate the structure of materials, and accelerator physicist Dr Suzie Sheehy explains how this massive machine works.
Journey of a Molecular Detective; David Sherratt

Lab, Camera, Action: Make your own CD spectrometer

How do we know what the stars are made of when we've never been to one? Dr Andrew Steele shows us how to make a spectrometer, a device used by scientists to analyse light, using a cereal box and a CD.
Alumni Weekend

Physics in the 21st Century

Dr John Wheater (Head of Physics Department), Emeritus Professor Derek Stacey and Dr Jay Watson (alumnus), give a talk about the Oxford Physics department and the study of physics today.
Chemistry for the Future: Human Health

Lasers, Cell Membranes, and the Basis of Life

Being a chemist doesn't have to mean giving up on biology and physics.
Journey of a Molecular Detective; David Sherratt

How to find a Higgs boson

The discovery of the Higgs boson last summer is widely regarded as one of the most important scientific discoveries of our time.
Journey of a Molecular Detective; David Sherratt

What is a Quantum Computer?

How does a quantum computer work? Why is a quantum computer so much better than a traditional computer? This talk will give you an insight into the strange features of the quantum world that we can exploit to develop a super fast quantum computer.
Journey of a Molecular Detective; David Sherratt

Dealing with Frustration - Order in Disorder

Magnetic particles can get frustrated in their interactions with other particles because of lattice geometry. Lots of new and exciting physics is involved in understanding how they deal with their frustration.
Journey of a Molecular Detective; David Sherratt

Light Fantastic: X-ray Laser Research in Oxford

David LLoyd describes how x-rays can be used for far more than identifying broken bones.
