🏅 What is it about neutrinos that keeps attracting Nobel Prizes?
The 2026 Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to Francis Halzen for his pioneering work on the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos from space.
This marks the fifth Nobel Prize recognising research into these elusive particles.
Queen’s Fellow and neutrino physicist Dr Kirsty Duffy joins the 'Physics World Weekly' podcast to explore what makes neutrinos so fascinating.

🧠 What if we could map the brain like Google Maps and trace not just individual landmarks, but the connections between them?
Our latest blogpost features DPhil student Sapolnach, whose research explores the rapidly developing field of connectomics: mapping the networks that shape our thoughts and behaviour.
We spoke to him about the big questions driving his research, as well as his work to open up neuroscience to young people around the world and give students the chance to work with real brain data.

𓁈 How did people in Ancient Egypt choose to present themselves and how did they hope to be remembered?
In our latest research blog, Honorary Fellow Prof Elizabeth Frood explores identity and legacy through the extraordinary statue of Wenennefer, a high dignitary under Ramesses II. She also reflects on her recent Visiting Fellowship in Paris, a significant milestone both professionally and personally, and on the power of objects to bring ancient stories to life.
