From small particles to the secrets of the universe
What remains unexplored in particle physics?
Rebeca Gonzalez Suarez
By smashing subatomic particles together in colliders, researchers have discovered a wide range of new particles and exotic physical phenomena, but the story doesn’t end there. What is still to be discovered? And what can upgraded and next‑generation colliders tell us about the fundamental building blocks of the Universe? Join Associate Professor Rebeca Gonzalez Suarez in a conversation about hidden sectors in particle physics.

The Universe beneath our feet
Erin O'Sullivan
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a powerful telescope, not located in space, but buried deep within the Antarctic ice. It searches for tiny particles called neutrinos, which open up an entirely new window into astronomy. Join Associate Professor Erin O’Sullivan in a conversation about how we can explore the Universe in a new way, not by looking up at the stars, but by looking down beneath our feet.

When the smallest things transform the universe
Eliel Camargo-Molina
Meet Eliel Camargo-Molina, a theoretical physicist and fellow at SCAS who is passionate about the usefulness of useless knowledge. He will tell us about phase transitions and how they describe from boiling water to the transformations of a young universe. He will also share his journey in the AI revolution, including being hired to write a Hollywood screenplay with a human and GPT-3.
