I am an online editor of Physics World. I did a PhD in condensed-matter physics at McMaster University in Canada. I am still fascinated by what is an extremely rich and varied subject that I believe is ignored by the media (Physics World excepted, of course). As a result, I’m happiest when I’m blogging about topological insulators, the latest quasiparticle or some other quirk of condensed matter. So, if you spot something weird and wonderful in solid-state physics, please get in touch. In my spare time I am a Scout leader.
I spent most of this morning filming 60 s interview spots with top physicists...
Individual atoms frozen in a Mott insulator are flipped at will

Evidence mounts for a lighter, more elusive particle

My favourite bit is when Olivia (age 15) removes a piece of americium from a smoke detector
Imagine if you could reach out and grab a microscopic object...
