Whitburn Physics

Two Physics students on a mission. We are here to help with physics. Catch Physics Society every Monday at 1 in S5.

Scientists expected a dynamic star-forming region of a nearby galaxy lower in heavier elements might be low on dust made from such materials, called metals. Instead, new data from @NASAWebb reveals the building blocks of potential planets! https://t.co/GQSia5D0Gm

The Beauty of Physics

[Whitburn Physics @WhitburnPhysics]

Thanks to the Durham Engineering Representatives for the great talk today.
Loved learning all about the vast applications and areas of engineering!
