Paul Mabey

Paul is a Scientific Editor at IOP Publishing. After completing his PhD in plasma physics at the University of Oxford, he moved abroad to work as a researcher at École Polytechnique Paris and then Freie Universität Berlin. He joined IOP Publishing in 2024 and has been working on Reports on Progress in Physics since then. He can often be found on a Saturday morning at one of Bristol's parkruns.

Research highlight

Purity versus scrambling: universal laws in quantum systems

Monitored quantum systems purify according to common laws determined by the symmetry of their dynamics

Research highlight

AI-designed metasurface could make cameras far more light-efficient

A neural-network-assisted search has produced a nanoscale colour router that delivers substantially more light to an image sensor than conventional absorptive filters

Research highlight

New fractional quantum Hall states

Researchers have observed unusual fractional quantum Hall states in very thin gallium arsenide quantum wells

Research highlight

Self-powered electric fields control droplets without complicated electronics

Long-lived electric fields charge and manipulate liquid droplets, while patterned surface charges encode their arrangements and guiding paths

Research highlight

Trapping quasiparticles creates quantum behaviour

New research shows that trapping spinons can create, rather than destroy, protected quantum behaviour at a material’s edges

Research highlight

The paradox of steady-state light diffusion

Researchers have resolved a 30-year debate by showing when the diffusion equation provides a consistent description of light transport, and when it fundamentally falls short

Research highlight

Using AI agents to run quantum simulations

Researchers have developed a multi-agent AI system that converts plain-language research questions into executed, checked and reproducible quantum simulations using several specialist software packages

Research highlight

Controlling four-dimensional monopoles

The first experimental realisation of Floquet tensor monopoles provides a controllable platform for investigating non-equilibrium topology in four dimensions

Research highlight

Real-time multi-gas sensing

Detecting several gases at once is crucial in areas such as environmental monitoring, industrial physics and fault diagnosis in electrical equipment. Methane is a key sign of natural-gas leakage, while acetylene, can indicate high-temperature faults such as arcing in transformer oil. The challenge right now is that many sensitive gas sensors either need separate detectors […]
