A new STFC-funded project is using cosmic rays to peer inside UK bridges! 🤯
By measuring the deflection patterns of muon particles from cosmic rays, researchers can detect hidden damage whilst avoiding destructive examination techniques.

Partly supported by @STFC_Matters this new research has implications for understanding Earth’s uniqueness, and for the search for life on planets outside our Solar System. @cambridge_astro
🔭 For decades, astronomers have wondered whether Venus was once more like Earth than it is today.
But a new study of Venus's atmosphere has found that it has likely always been an inhospitable world, and was never able to support liquid water.

We rounded off Tomorrow's Engineers Week with an inspiring event for sixth form students at Diamond Light Source
Yesterday, we partnered with @diamondlightsource to inspire future engineers!
The students explored the power of solar energy, the structure of model cars, coding, a science careers fair, and toured the inside of the Diamond Light Synchrotron.
