🔬⚛︎ How can a particle that passes straight through your body help explain why the universe exists?
Around 100 billion neutrinos are passing through your thumbnail right now and you won't notice a thing. Yet these elusive particles may hold the key to one of the biggest mysteries in physics.
Watch Fellow in Physics Dr Kirsty Duffy explain how neutrinos challenge our understanding of the universe and how the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) could transform particle physics.

🏆 National champions. Varsity winners. Sports Team of the Year.
These are impressive achievements, but they're not what Aidan will remember most. As he prepares to graduate from Queen's, the Biology student reflects on captaining Oxford's ice hockey team through an unbeaten season and why the friendships and shared challenges mattered most.
"I think what will stay with me the most is all the people I have met and the relationships made here."
