Scientific Talks & Demonstrations
We can offer talks on a wide range of topics in physics and astronomy, including:
-
The real science behind Parallel Universes(Dr Tony Padilla)
-
Black holes and Extra dimensions (Dr Tony Padilla)
-
Exoplanets: are we alone? (Dr Frazer Pearce)
-
Cosmology: What do we really know about the Universe? (Dr Anne Green)
-
Gravitational Lensing: revealing the dark side of the Universe (Dr Meghan Gray)
-
Nanotechnology: The Next Industrial Revolution (Prof Philip Moriarty)
-
The Centre of our Galaxy: Black Holes, Rare Stars and Cosmic Mayhem (Prof Michael Merrifield)
-
Patterns in Space and Time: From Nano to Nirvana (Prof Philip Moriarty)
-
Telescopes and why science matters (Prof Ed Copeland)
-
Looking for dark Matter (Dr Anne Green)
-
How to Build a Galaxy (Prof Michael Merrifield)
-
The Solar System (Dr Frazer Pearce)
-
Quantum Molecular Tunnelling: The influence of wave-like properties on the dynamics of atoms (Prof Tony Horsewill)
-
From Star Trek to Medical Imaging’ A lecture on MRI (Professor Penny Gowland)
-
Applications of Medical Physics (Professor Penny Gowland)
We can visit schools and other groups across the country to deliver these talks, or we can present the talk here if you would prefer to visit the University. We also host the Nottingham Physics Centre and the Midland Branch of the Institute of Physics , which deliver a number of physics-related lectures every year. In addition, we can present practical demonstrations of astronomy and physics using experimental apparatus and materials such as liquid nitrogen that are not usually available to these groups.
If you are interested in any of these opportunities, or would like to hear about some other topic in modern physics, please contact our Outreach Coordinator to organize an appropriate talk for your group.
