Physics

Oxford Martin School: Public Lectures and Seminars

Nano comes to life: how nanotechnology is transforming medicine and the future of biology

In this book talk, Professor Sonia Contera will talk about how Nanotechnology is transforming medicine and the future of biology.
Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

Cosmic acceleration revealed by Type la supernovae?

In this talk Subir Sarkar will explain how deflagration supernovae have been used to infer that the Hubble expansion rate is accelerating, and critically assess whether the acceleration is real and due to `dark energy’.
Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

Supernova Explosions and their Role in the Universe

In this talk, Philipp Podsiadlowski will explain how this energy (sometimes) creates a visible fireball, before going on to explain the role of supernovae in the production of the heaviest elements in the periodic table.
Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

What makes stars go bang?

In this talk, James Binney will outline the physics that leads to prodigeous release of energy in core-collapse and deflagration supernovae.

Cherwell-Simon Memorial Lecture: The XENON Project: at the forefront of Dark Matter Direct Detection

What is the Dark Matter which makes 85% of the matter in the Universe? We have been asking this question for many decades and used a variety of experimental approaches to address it, with detectors on Earth and in space.

Particles in space

Join Dr Donal Hill for a tour of the invisible, as he describes how particle detectors measure 3D information to help uncover the secrets of tiny fundamental particles.

Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures: Graham Farmelo - The Universe Speaks in Numbers

An old-fashioned tale of tale of romance and estrangement, of hope and despair.
Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

... from collisions to the Higgs boson

To study the Higgs boson at the LHC we also need to understand how highly energetic quarks and gluons interact, among themselves and with the Higgs.
Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

From protons to collisions…

We learn about the Higgs Boson and its interactions at the LHC by examining the debris produced by colliding protons head-on at unprecedented high energies.
Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

What the Large Hadron Collider is telling us about the Higgs sector and its new interactions

Over the past two years, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has started to directly probe a qualitatively new class of interactions, associated with the Higgs boson.
Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

Why the world is simple - Prof Ard Louis

The coding theorem from algorithmic information theory (AIT) - which should be much more widely taught in Physics! - suggests that many processes in nature may be highly biased towards simple outputs.
Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

Topology in Biology - Prof Julia Yeomans FRS

Active systems, from cells and bacteria to flocks of birds, harvest chemical energy which they use to move and to control the complex processes needed for life.
Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

Welcome from the Head of the Physics Department

Ian Shipsey delivers the welcome speech for the Saturday Mornings of Theoretical Physics.

Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures: Hooke Lecture - Michael Berry - Chasing the dragon: tidal bores in the UK and elsewhere

In some of the world’s rivers, an incoming high tide can arrive as a smooth jump decorated by undulations, or as a breaking wave. The river reverses direction and flows upstream.
Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

Entropy from Entanglement

Siddharth Parameswaran, Associate Professor, Physics Department.
Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

Entropy: two short stories

John Chalker, Head of Theoretical Physics, gives a talk on entropy.
Theoretical Physics - From Outer Space to Plasma

Entropy: Gaining Knowledge by Admitting Ignorance

Alexander Schekochihin, Professor of Theoretical Physics, gives a talk on entropy.

Roger Penrose in conversation with Hannah Fry - Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures

In our Oxford Mathematics London Public Lecture Roger Penrose in conversation with Hannah Fry reveals his latest research, a veritable chain reaction of universes, which he says has been backed by evidence of events that took place before the Big Bang.
