The computer that could change our lives
Sussex scientists have invented a ground-breaking method that places the construction of a large-scale quantum computer within reach of current technology.
Physical Sciences research
Features
Alan Dalton, professor of Experimental Physics, describes how silver nanowires could be used to create bigger and more flexible touchscreens.
A radical new approach to technology
A tiny microchip with a big name has the potential to revolutionise mass spectrometry and quantum sensors, and to push the boundaries of knowledge about the fundamental laws of physics.
Professor Kathy Romer, Reader in Astrophysics, describes how her involvement in an international project exploring the mysteries of dark energy may help explain why the Universe is expanding.
