What inspires someone to pursue physics for life?

From discovering general relativity to the encouragement of mentors, women in our community share the moments that shaped their journeys.

This #InternationalWomensDay we’re celebrating women advancing physics and inspiring the next generation. 🌟

Unlocking the Material Secrets Behind 20% Efficient Organic Solar Cells New research has revealed how next-generation solar materials move energy with record breaking efficiency.

☀️A new study from Imperial reveals how next-gen solar materials move energy with record breaking efficiency. In Nature Materials, they show that "delocalisation" lets organic solar cells separate charges more efficiently, paving the way for new solar tech.
