The School of Physics recently welcomed a group of school students for a varied week of work experience. 

The students had a busy week including attending talks and working in the undergraduate laboratory, and met researchers working in fields such as astrophysics, particle physics, theoretical physics and nanoscience.

To find out more about the work in which the students were involved, and to find out how their experiment with a Wimhurst machine led to a hair-raising experience, please read their Work experience report .
