The University of Manchester's School of Physics and Astronomy hosts a "Pint of Physics". Featuring a series of flash talks from PhD students across a breadth of physics disciplines, followed by a keynote talk from Professor Anna Scaife, head of the Jodrell Bank Interferometry Centre of Excellence. Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear from the next generation of physicists!

Using galaxy clusters to probe the evolution of the universe

Eunseong Lee (PhD student of Astrophysics)
Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound objects in the universe and the cluster abundance is highly sensitive to the composition of the universe and its evolution. Cluster surveys using Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect allow us to probe the extension of the standard cosmological model.

Nuclear Fission Past and Present

Nikolay Sosnin (PhD student of Nuclear Physics)
This December marks the 80th year since the discovery of nuclear fission (the break-up of heavy nuclei). In light of this anniversary I will present an historical overview of the subject and introduce some of the research that is being done at Manchester.

Tears of Wine

Christian Vaquero-Stainer (PhD student of Physics of Fluids and Soft Matter)
The motion of fluids can be observed everywhere in the world around us, not least in the pub! A common observation down the local is the so called "tears of wine", sometimes known as the wine's "legs". This talk aims to shed some light on why your wine cries - it's not upset, it's physics!

AME in the sky with diamonds

Professor Anna Scaife (Professor of Radio Astronomy; Head, Interferometry Centre of Excellence)
Many star systems and galaxies emit bright anomalous microwave emission (AME) in the high-frequency radio spectrum. This AME may be due to hydrogenated nanodiamonds, tiny diamonds only a billionth of a metre in size. It is possible that these nanodiamonds are in fact ubiquitous in star systems and could even be the reason for AME on a galactic scale.
