We interface with our environment via the air we breathe, the food and water we eat and drink, and through physical contact via our skin. This lecture explores how these biological barriers act to ...
Astronomers are like time travellers. They scan the night sky for the outermost galaxies that first came into being when our universe was a mere fraction of its present age. Join Richard Ellis as h...
Perhaps the biggest question Stephen Hawking tried to answer was how our universe could have created conditions so perfectly hospitable to life. He worked with his friend and collaborator Thomas Herto...
Astronomically speaking, there are a number of ways in which life on Earth could be wiped out. For example, a giant asteroid could hit Earth with such energy that the oceans are boiled off. This le...

...physics and free will. Join Tim Palmer as he explores how the geometry of chaos provides the means to predict the world around us and provides new insights into some of the most astonishing aspects...
Want to inspire the future generation of Scientists.. then this is your event. I am looking to provide our children with hands on, exciting science across lots of different jobs. We would love to get ...
Einstein’s theories predict black holes and gravitational waves, which have now been discovered in spectacular fashion. But do they predict dark energy driving an ever-accelerating universe, gradually...
Fusion energy—the power of the stars—offers us the possibility of a clean, sustainable energy future for all. Melanie Windridge gives a comprehensive overview of fusion energy, from its theoretical fo...
Career fair to run all day, (estimated timing 8:30-3:00, Thursday 11th May) with different year groups attending the fair following the school timetable, years 7-10. Pupils will have activities to enc...
Journey through the history of our understanding of gravity and explore the latest breakthroughs in the field, with Tessa Baker. Tessa reveals how Albert Einstein's theory of gravity predicted the exi...
Particle physics is the study of nature at the highest energies and shortest distances that we can probe in a laboratory, an ambitious attempt to construct a fundamental picture of what the universe i...
Join Prof David Ricketts to explore the amazing world of high voltage science, discovering the secrets behind some powerful machinery. David will use demonstrations to explore the developments of this...
...physics. Drawing upon decades of research and observation, the scientific consensus based on current evidence supports the theory of a single Big Bang event. Join renowned cosmologist Brian Keating on...
For years, there has been a broad consensus in the cosmology community that the 'hot big bang' was the central point in the history of the Universe. But the question remains, what came before the big ...
Join us for an in-depth exploration of the elusive world of neutrinos. James Riordon guides us through the history and science behind the pursuit of the ghostly subatomic particle, the neutrino. With...
What exactly is the Metaverse? And is it really that new? This talk will explore our emotional connections to cyberspace, our feelings of presence and immediacy in online environments, and what thi...
