I am news editor of Physics World magazine. I also contribute regularly to the website and work on the Physics World special report programme. I joined Physics World in 2008 after completing a PhD in condensed-matter physics at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart, Germany. I mostly cover the development of physics facilities around the world. Outside work, over the past couple of years I have become particularly adept at changing nappies.

New facility at the University of Reading will carry out meteorological research and forecasting
Giaever made pioneering progress in the late 1950s on electron tunnelling in superconductors
The model is 275,000 times smaller than the real Sorbonne Chapel
The model will now go on display at the University of Manchester's Schuster Building
Pictures include the Trifid and Lagoon nebulas and the Virgo cluster
The work is an important step to understanding the physics at the heart of inertial confinement fusion
The image revealed around 500 planetary nebulae that can be used as distance markers to their host galaxies
ispace was attempting to become the first non-US firm to land on the Moon
The cash will be used to establish a Leinweber Institute for Theoretical Physics at five US institutions
