On the 4th of March at 6.30pm in G05, Western Gateway Building, UCC, three distinguished women in STEM will visit UCC to speak about their experiences and achievements in the world of physics and science. The event is open to all. The confirmed speakers are: 

The  IOPI spring meeting 2020 at University College Cork has been postponed until further notice. 

Retirement reception for Dr Pádraig Mac Cártaigh was held last night in UCC and went off with a hit with some traditional irish music to celebrate! 

Professor Richard Milner, 2020 Bonner Prize Winner, Former UCC Physics Graduate. 

A big thanks is owed to all the exhibitors and visitors who helped make ESLW such a success! 

Make sure to add 'Above and Beyond' to your Culture Night itinerary!

Last week an international project which has been ongoing for 2 years has seen the UCC Campus recognised as part of a global network - The International Gravity Station Network (IGSN).

A unique exhibition which showcases some of the most significant and surprising astronomical breakthroughs over the last century.

Had a great week helping organising Experimental Physics experiments for CTYI. We definitely saw some future physicists in the bunch!

Had another great day exploring the weird and wonderful parts of Physics as part of the Eureka Camps! ️

Huge congratulations to physics postgrad student Stephen Murphy who received the '2019 College of SEFS Student Nominated Teaching Demonstrator Award'!

UCC Astronomy Graduate, Mark Kennedy, current Newton International Fellow at The University of Manchester, was in Chile recently, by chance during the eclipse!!

A fantastic time was had yesterday with the students from Eureka Camps. We hope we both excited and attracted them to exploring more physics in the future!

A big congratulation to PhD graduates Dr. Daniel Carey, Dr. Ludovic Caro and Dr. Shane Duggan!

Superconductors are quantum materials that are perfect transmitters of electricity and electronic information.

One of the world’s leading scientists will give an inaugural public lecture on the emerging second quantum revolution next week (Thursday, 6 June) at University College Cork (UCC).

Big thanks to Loise Shanahan for running the physics portion of CTYI in UCC this year! We love sharing our fascination with light, electricity and magnetism! 

We had a blast with transition year students, from all over Cork last week, building these gummy bear wave machines. This just goes to show that Physics can be fascinating and delicious!

Congrats to Dr. Pádraig Mac Cárthaigh who gave his final lecture today. Nuclear and Particle Physics won't be the same without you!

Big congrats to our own Killian Long for winning the best publication of the year award!

A fantastic seminar given by Micheal O'Gorman and Áine Davis about Careers in Industrial Physics.

FameLab is the world's leading science communication competition. It is designed to inspire, motivate and develop scientists and engineers to actively engage with the public and last night it achieved exactly that. 

Congratulations to our own Professor Frank Peters for his new appointment as leader of the Rockley Photonics R&D centre in Tyndall National Institute!

Monitoring stations have successfully been installed on UCC North Mall campus after calls from researchers for extra stringent monitoring the severity levels for air pollution within Cork City. The new facility is one of the most advanced and best equipped centres of its kind in the country.
