ILL soap story achieves clean sweep in world media

Scientists from the Institute Laue-Langevin (ILL), the world’s flagship centre for neutron science, recently explained the origin of magnetism observed for the first time in a soap developed by chemists at Bristol University.

Making a noise about sound measurement

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL), the UK’s National Measurement Institute, provides measurement services to government and industry. Its acoustics team recently undertook a project to develop rapid mapping techniques for soundfields, to better understand how ‘dead spots’ are created by loudspeakers.

Is this the end for electricity?

UK scientists have for the first time measured ‘magnetricity’ in materials. Researchers from the London Centre for Nanotechnology and STFC's ISIS Neutron and Muon Source have dusted off a 1930s theory and demonstrated that in some materials there is a magnetic equivalent of electricity.
