If you're a student of the Physics department, you might even see a familiar face from our technical staff, talking about his journey from MH201 undergraduate, to Technical Officer in the Department of Physics. #MUPhysics

Another successful Particle Physics Masterclass here at #MUPhysics this week! This was our 14th annual session and we were happy to welcome so many students to our department for a fascinating day of learning. A big thanks to our demonstrators who make events like this possible.

Here are some pics 📸 of our postgrads presenting their work at the recent IOP Spring Weekend!
Aoife works on Machine Learning for optical modelling of the QUBIC instrument. Gary is working on MKIDs, a type of superconducting light detector for astronomical instrumentation. #MUPhysics

Make sure not to miss this! The MAUVE launch is (hopefully) going ahead today at 6:18PM (GMT) and can be watched live at the link below. We can't wait to get our hands on the data from this telescope in the future! #MUPhysics

Check out this article on the upcoming Mauve launch! Dr Emma Whelan talks about how this will improve our ability to study and understand star formation, giving us a better understanding of the Universe around us! #MUPhysics

Thanks again to IrelandQCI and all those that gave their time yesterday to talk about Quantum Communications! It was a great day with lots of really interesting conversations. #MUPhysics

🌐 Explore Ireland’s Quantum Communications Future!
Join the Interactive Quantum Unit, Dept of Physics @MaynoothUni on Thurs 13 Nov (2–7PM) to see how quantum tech is transforming Ireland’s networks.

Startup pioneers subscription service for space-based astronomy Blue Skies Space will sell data from its tiny, low-cost UV telescope

Check out this article featuring one of #MUPhysics very own researchers Dr Emma Whelan. It talks about the upcoming Mauve launch and the importance of it for observational astronomy! Keep a close watch on our socials to hear more about this over the coming week!

Last week, we had our yearly Pizza Party 🍕 for the Theoretical Physics & Mathematics programme! It was a great opportunity for students of all years to chat with and meet other students and members of staff. We also gave out some awards to some of our exceptional students! #MUPhysics

Tune into Futureproof w/ Jonathan McCrea tomorrow at 12 to catch a familiar voice. Dr John Regan will be talking about asteroid impacts and the Ignobel Prize. Not something to be missed! #MuPhysics

MU Department of Physics joins Mauve science programme Maynooth University, has joined the Mauve science programme. The team from Maynooth will be led by Dr Emma Whelan, Associate Professor in the Department of Physics, who specialises in

We've joined the Mauve Science Programme! This collaboration is led by our very own Dr Emma Whelan here at #MUPhysics. Watch this space for some fascinating research and an insight into how stars are formed! Check out the details below ✨

Department of Physics at the European Astronomical Society Meeting Researchers from Maynooth University's Department of Physics and the Centre for Astrophysics and Space Science Maynooth took part in the European Astronomical Society (EAS) annual meeting, held in

Check out this article written by one of #MUPhysics very own interns, Kelly Menendez, about our recent attendance at the European Astronomical Society Meeting in UCC. It was a great opportunity to meet new people and see what's happening across Europe. Find the article below! @maynoothuniversity.ie

It's the last day of teaching here at #MUPhysics and we're very sad to be saying goodbye to our amazing final year students. We had a great cohort this year and we're wishing them well in their upcoming exams. Here are some highlight from this past year ✨

DID YOU KNOW: that in 2010, Miami graduated more physics majors than any MS-granting institution in America? Very cool! #muphysics
