Extremely Large Telescope
Information on the Oxford involvement in the Extremely Large Telescope Project
Frontiers of quantum physics
Our group researches into applying quantum physics beyond the microscopic domain
Future Colliders
Galaxy formation and evolution
Gene machines
Studies of the mechanisms and machines of gene expression using single-molecule biophysical methods and biochemistry.
Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics
We study and research fluid-dynamical phenomena and processes that occur in geophysical and astrophysical systems, such as planetary atmospheres and oceans, stars, accretion disks and interstellar gas clouds.
Hintze Centre for Astrophysical Surveys
Addressing the major problems of modern physics/astrophysics by augmenting our participation in the major international surveys that are designed to address them.
Ice and Fluid Dynamics
Environmental fluid dynamics, applied to sea ice, ice sheets and ocean interactions.
Ion channels
Our research is focused on understanding the intimate relationship between ion channel structure and function; we are working to understand their molecular mechanism of operation at an atomic level as well as their role in physiology and disease.
Ion trap quantum computing
Testing and developing ideas in quantum computing using laser-manipulated trapped ions.
