We study exploding stars, growing galaxies and feeding black holes in an expanding Universe.
Our research covers a wide spectrum of activities, from fundamental physics to technological applications.
We study exploding stars, growing galaxies and feeding black holes in an expanding Universe.
We research how quantum mechanical and thermodynamic properties of molecules, nanostructures, multilayers and glassy materials can be modified.
We study how components of complex systems interact with each other, and how this leads to unusual behaviour and novel applications.
We carry out world-leading research in the science and technology of light.
We are involved in a number of cross-disciplinary research centres.
