Studying Physics and Astronomy at UCL
Particle's "wobble" hints at new physics
According to an experiment involving UCL researchers, the "wobble" of the muon particle in a magnetic field is different from what our best theoretical model of the subatomic world would predict.
Largest 3D map of the universe created using UCL lenses
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), designed and built in part by UCL physicists, has created the largest and most detailed 3D map of the universe, cataloguing 7.5 million galaxies in seven months.
New horizons opening in dark matter detection
Professors Chamkaur Ghag and Peter Barker receive a major grant which builds on the work they have been carrying out within the Cosmoparticle Initiative.
UCL students win 2023 IBM Open Quantum Science Prize
UCL Physics and Astronomy students placed first out of over 130 applications to share $30,000.
Euclid's first images: the dazzling edge of darkness
The European Space Agency (ESA) mission Euclid, whose massive optical camera was built by an international team led by UCL researchers, has released its first full-colour images of the cosmos.
Uniting Einstein’s gravity with quantum mechanics
UCL physicists publish a radical theory that consistently unifies gravity and quantum mechanics while preserving Einstein’s classical concept of spacetime.
Experiment could test quantum nature of large masses for the first time
An experiment outlined by a UCL-led team of scientistscould test whether relatively large masses have a quantum nature.
Improving our understanding of expansion of the Universe
The Dark Energy Survey (DES) collaboration involving UCL researchers has achieved one of the most robust measurements of the constraints on the universe's expansion to date.
