Explore our campus, meet lecturers and current students, and learn more about what it's like to study at Manchester. The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Manchester is one of the largest and ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory. This rare particle—never seen before and predicted not ...

This course examines energy as a fundamental concept in physics and an essential element of human society. Basic principles of energy conservation and transformation are developed to understand ...

The double-slit experiment is the most famous and probably the most important experiment in quantum physics: individual particles are shot at a wall with two openings, behind which a detector measures ...

It came from deep space, moving at the speed of light, and crashed into Antarctica. Deep below the ice, it met its end. It wasn’t an asteroid or alien spacecraft, but a particle that rarely interacts ...
