Macroscopic Quantum Matter

Go say hello to our 3 lovely Post-Grad students presenting their posters at @IOP_Ireland #SpringMeeting for the Rosse Medal!

🥳On November 29th, Physics staff, alumni and students celebrated 175 years of Physics at UCC. 🌳 A Rowan Tree, known for protection and luck, now grows on campus for all Physics staff and students. 🌃Thanks to everyone that made the celebrations enjoyable!

Professor Colm O’Dwyer, a leading researcher in electrochemistry and solid-state science, has been confirmed as the President of The Electrochemical Society (ECS), a prestigious international society of scientists and industry leaders. ucc.ie/en/news/2024/s…

#Budget2025 is this government’s final opportunity to deliver a sustainable funding model for higher education in Ireland. Funding higher education and research is an investment in our country’s future. @tcddublin @IUAofficial irishtimes.com/ireland/educat…

UCC @PhysicsUcc TY Week 2025 Applications Now Open 🗓️Monday, 17 February 2025, to Friday, 21 February 🗺️ School of Physics, UCC Campus, Cork ⏲️Monday - Friday, 10am - 4pm Email physics@ucc.ie for details @SEFSUCC @UCC

Dr. Yan, a postdoctoral researcher, accomplished this by using an atomically sharp tip and high current to precisely remove each Caesium atom, positioning them outside the scanning field.👏

CVS comprises layers of Caesium and Antimony weakly bonded together. In the STM's cryogenic environment, the top layer is cleaved, revealing a clean Kagome lattice with randomly scattered Caesium atoms. These atoms must be removed for a clear scan.

Researchers @UCC's Macroscopic Quantum Matter Group have used a Scanning Tunnelling Microscope (STM) to write "UCC" with Caesium atoms on a CsV3Sb5 (CVS) sample!🔬

🎉@UCC researchers have received a combined €2.9 million funding under the SFI-IRC Pathway Programme awards! The awards will enable postdoctoral researchers to develop their career pathway and transition to become independent research leaders. ucc.ie/en/sefs/news/2…

Well done to all who took part in @pintofscienceIE Cork 2024 events last week including some of our own @PhysicsUcc students who presented. You can read more on their talks here: ucc.ie/en/physics/new… @MacroQuantumMat

“Folks my age can remember when it was absolutely certain: there will never be a room-temperature superconductor..." “Only now we’re realising how wrong we were.” Prof Seamus Davis, UCC/Oxford @MacroQuantumMat @SEFSUCC @UCC @UCCResearch newscientist.com/article/mg2623…

🤗Well done to the @MacroQuantumMat Group, who have published a paper with their colleagues in Oxford: Dichotomous dynamics of magnetic monopole fluids pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

We wish farewell to Joseph Sheehan, CTO of @PhysicsUcc on his retirement. Joe gave 43 years service to UCC and was a highly respected colleague, friend and mentor to many people. The turnout at his retirement celebration last Friday spoke for itself. The very best of luck Joe!

Huge congrats to all @SEFSUCC students who conferred yesterday, especially Guido De Rosa who obtained a Masters in Science. Guido conducted his research with one of the @PhysicsUcc groups led by Dr. Andreas Ruschhaupt. We wish him well for the future! ucc.ie/en/physics/new…
