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.

New source of spin-polarized electrons could 'revolutionize' spintronics research
Call me a killjoy, but I don't find this year's Ig Nobel prize in physics particularly amusing...
In July 2007 Europe's astroparticle physicists drew up a 'wish list' of research projects...
Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending day two of 'Pendry Fest'...
Rovibrational ground states are a bit like buses - you wait a long time for nothing and then three come along one after another.
More 'classical' approach works wonders
