How we explore

Apply to a program
01

Theoretical physics

From quantum field theory to general relativity — building the mathematical models that predict what experiments should find.

02

Experimental design

Precision instruments, detectors and measurement campaigns that put bold hypotheses to the ultimate test.

03

Computational science

Large-scale simulations of everything from protein folding to colliding black holes, run on our HPC cluster.

04

Science outreach

Open lectures, school labs and public datasets that make frontier physics accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Symmetry breaking illustration

Why symmetry breaking explains almost everything

From magnets to mass itself — the single idea that keeps reappearing across physics.

Cosmic microwave background illustration

Listening to the universe's oldest light

What the cosmic microwave background still has to tell us after 13.8 billion years.

Quantum entanglement illustration

Entanglement is stranger than you think

Our favourite tabletop experiments that make quantum weirdness impossible to deny.
