Emeritus Professor George Rowlands, who first came to Warwick in 1966, has clocked up more than six decades of research in theoretical physics - and he believes it’s the challenge of tackling complex scientific problems that has helped keep him young at heart.

Physicists have directly imaged Landau Levels – the quantum levels that determine electron behaviour in a strong magnetic field – for the first time since they were theoretically conceived of by Nobel prize winner Lev Landau in 1930.

's research, as part of a UK/US team, into the behaviour of "individual fibers as elastic filaments with random intrinsic curvatures", aka a pony tail, resulted in an equation. This pony tail equation has now been honoured with the in physics. Congratulations!

Between 2-7 September 2012, Warwick has successfully hosted the Advanced Summer School in Solar Physics. The School was sponsored by STFC and organised by Dr Erwin Verwichte. 26 PhD students and early-career postdocs from the UK and abroad benefited from a series of lectures in all areas of Solar and Heliospheric Physics, taught by leading lecturers in the field. These included the local expertise of Dr Chris Brady, Dr Claire Foullon, Prof Valery Nakariakov and Dr Erwin Verwichte from the Centre for Fusion, Space and Astrophysics (CFSA) in Physics. A special thanks goes to Ms Taherah Nureen, who was the School's secretary. The School's website contains lecture handouts and photos from the event: .
