Physicists at the University of Oxford have led a breakthrough study which has recorded the first observation of carbon-neutrino interactions; the findings open new frontiers in nuclear and particle physics.

Researchers from the University of Oxford have played a major role in one of the most precise studies yet of the Higgs boson — the mysterious particle that helps explain why everything in the universe has mass.

UK scientists, including from the University of Oxford, have played a key role in solving a neutrino mystery that has challenged researchers for decades.

An international team of scientists, led by the University of Oxford, has achieved a world-first by creating plasma 'fireballs' using the Super Proton Synchrotron accelerator at CERN, Geneva, to study the stability of plasma jets emanating from blazars.

Professor Peter Norreys has been recognised for his outstanding contributions to fundamental studies of high energy density plasmas using high power petawatt-class lasers.

We work among extraordinary people doing extraordinary things; get to know some of them by reading these quick-fire interviews.

Researchers at the University of Oxford and the MicroBooNE collaboration have recently performed the first ever measurement of electron neutrino interactions on argon producing outgoing charged pions.

Oxford Sparks looks to explore and discover the scientific research happening at the University of Oxford, and in this episode, they ask the question, how do you detect a particle that emits no light - in other words, something invisible?

Physicists have successfully simulated how light interacts with empty space – a phenomenon once thought to belong to science fiction; the findings pave the way for real-world laser facilities to experimentally confirm bizarre quantum phenomena.

Scientists could turn to black holes to complement facilities searching for dark matter and similarly elusive particles that hold clues to the universe’s deepest secrets, a new study by Oxford researchers suggests.

Professor Daniela Bortoletto has been awarded the European Physical Society’s Emmy Noether Distinction 2024 recognising her work in revolutionising silicon detector technology and in supporting women in physics.
