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.

The study came to an abrupt end a few years when the building was cleaned...
It turns out that robots used in manufacturing suffer from the same problem...
'Evolution avoids or supresses knots in proteins'
I came across a recipe for wrapping a live bacterium in graphene...
The folks under the pictures are real physicists...
This is the closest I could get to Hosono's talk on pnictide superconductors...
It seems that physics graduates get paid more than others because many of them end up doing engineering jobs...
This could lead to photovoltaics that are more like plants and not solid chunks of semiconductor...
