Two Queen's software engineers have been singled out for a prestigious award from the Institute of Physics (IOP) for their work in discovering cosmic explosions, understanding their physics and playing leading roles in major international sky surveys

We are delighted to announce that the School has received an Education Impact Award from Autism N.I. 

Earth’s atmosphere is much more sensitive to ripples of radiation from the Sun than scientists previously believed, new research by Queen’s University Belfast has found.

A pioneering new approach to ‘wave science’, aimed at improving outcomes across global healthcare, the environment, engineering and economics, has been published by a group of international researchers led by Queen’s University Belfast.

The School of Mathematics and Physics at Queen's University Belfast hosts a national laser training course for new start PhD students throughout the UK.

A CQMT based QUB team in collaboration with two US-based institutions & Trinity College Dublin in Republic of Ireland have reported an intriguing finding in a archetypal antiferroelectric material based on first principles density functional theory.

The 2025 MERAC Prize for the Early Career Researcher in Observational Astrophysics has been awarded to Dr Matt Nicholl for his work on explosive transients, compact object mergers and tidal disruption events.

Held at QUB in partnership with the Northern Ireland Science Festival and the Institute of Physics. 

Researchers at Queen’s University Belfast have made a ground breaking discovery – they’ve created a simple way to make high quality proton beams using high intensity lasers.

School of Mathematics and Physics academic and IOP Council Member Dr Dermot Green recently represented the Institute of Physics and QUB at Stormont.
