[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Physics to John J. Hopfield and Geoffrey E. Hinton “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

[Chandra Observatory @chandraxray]

25 new images to celebrate Chandra's 25th anniversary! Launched into space on July 23, 1999, Chandra continues to discover new phenomena and examine old mysteries from within our Solar System out to nearly the edge of the observable Universe. 🎉https://t.co/8tqJTvR7Dn #Chandra25

[CERN @CERN]

#OnThisDay twelve years ago, two experiments at CERN announced the existence of a particle with characteristics consistent with those of the #HiggsBoson.

Named after the late theoretical physicist Peter Higgs, its discovery crowned the #StandardModel of particle physics. In 2013, the @NobelPrize for Physics was awarded to François Englert and Peter Higgs for their 1964 proposal of the Brout–Englert–Higgs mechanism.

To mark 60 years since Peter Higgs published his now famous paper predicting the existence of the boson named after him, here we see 60 event displays from @ATLASexperiment and @CMSExperiment, showing collisions where a Higgs boson is produced and then decays into various particles.

#FunFact: in the audio, you can hear Peter Higgs speak about the discovery in his own words.

Find out more about the #Higgsboson https://t.co/1aC5mOpmQh

Meet one of our graduates, Amy, who has gone on to become a Secondary School Physics teacher! 👩🏻‍🏫☄️

There are many places a Physics degree can take you, where will you take yours?

[UEA Physics @UEAPhysics]

Rob is one of our current final year MPhys students, last year we spoke to him about his experiences studying Physics at UEA.

👆🏻 Read all about Rob’s experience joining us as a mature student after 30 years working in IT, to pursue his curiosity for Physics!

[Ben Humphries @BS_Humphries]

It was amazing to be able to present some research from my PhD, in collaboration with @SpinVector, from @UEA_Chemistry @UEAPhysics in the Mathematical physics session of #BAMC2024. So great to be able to attend. More details can be found at https://t.co/OKjSDNc4ZS
