For more than a decade, the world of digital currency has been built on a single foundation: the blockchain. This complex, code-based system of distributed ledgers was a revolutionary approach to ...

With software development becoming ever more important in physics research, Arfon Smith argues that we need to adopt better ways of recognizing those who contribute to this largely unrewarded activity ...

In the worlds of high performance computing (HPC) and physics, seemingly straightforward challenges are frequently not what they seem at first glance. For example, doing justice to an outwardly simple ...

This summer, seven young coding whizzes contributed to CERN projects through the Google Summer of Code program. Anyone in the world with a computer can contribute to research at CERN. Through the ...

Two-dimensional projection of a quantum spherical code composed of two copies (black and red) of the four complex dimensional Witting polytope. This code can correct up to five photon losses of any ...

In this tutorial, I simulate bouncing balls inside a circle using Python and physics principles! Watch as I demonstrate how to apply collision detection, gravity, and movement in a circular space.

Our Code of Conduct was developed by a team of volunteers from across the School of Physics. It is based on discussions at the Physics staff away day in May 2019 and aims to represent the School and ...
