Who knew Einstein was an experimentalist with such a cavalier approach to Health & Safety?. (seriously though, check out uonphysics on instagram to see what else Einstelf has got up to in the run-up to Christmas) .

T minus 2 days to A-level Results Day and the start of Clearing. See our advice from @UoN_Physics & good luck 👇.

News outlets reporting this morning that the A-level results period next week will be "busy". Predicting lots of movement around Clearing. Our advice? Be prepared, make a plan, be open to a change of direction. and move quickly. Good luck to all.

And if it doesn't go as expected, the 2nd video in our higher education trilogy reminds us that failure often just means a different path, not necessarily a dead end. (thanks to all sharing their own stories of failure and resilience in the comments).

Students, parents, teachers! Are you or someone you support anxiously awaiting A-level results? .If results are not as expected, all is not lost. There are always options (believe it or not).Philip Moriarty @UoN_Physics: from failure to Professor.

Absolutely fascinating talk today by @uon_physics alum @stuartmuldrew on plans for a prototype fusion power plant being built in Nottinghamshire. Also great to hear how an astronomy PhD is actually excellent training to become a "Principle Fusion Technologist"! @UKAEAofficial

Scientists from @UoNMaths @UoN_Physics have created a giant quantum vortex to mimic a black hole in superfluid helium showing in greater detail how analogue black holes behave and interact with their surroundings #BlackHole . Full story here:

Flashback Friday: I was reminded this morning of the fantastic award-winning @URNScienceShow that students from @UoN_Physics ran on @URN1350 for many years. Who remembers the vortex cannon? .
