New Publication: The true potential of the Weyl particle – A publication in Science
The quest to understand a variety of intriguing phenomena that may advance progress towards the next generation of computing has taken a quantum leap. Through the science of metamaterials, quantum physics and the mathematics of topology, a team of scientists , including researchers from University of Exeter, have been exploring the properties of so called […]
EU grant success for Prof David Wright
In spite of Brexit, Prof David Wright, Co-Director of the CDT in Metamaterials, has been successful in securing EU H2020 funding for the project “Fun-COMP” that will develop new neuromorphic (brain-like) electronic and photonic devices for the realisation of future intelligent computing systems. David will lead this €4 million project and work with partners from IBM, Thales, […]
The first XM2 careers event for EMPS PGRs/ECRs: a full success
XM2 organised its first careers event for PGRs and ECRs in the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences at the University of Exeter: on 25 & 26 January 2018 twelve companies presented themselves as potential employers to our PGRs and ECRs. We received 88 registrations, 35% of which were from non-XM2 PGRs and 15% from […]
