Next Monday Professor Jane Greaves, Astronomy Group, Cardiff School of Physics and Astronomy, will present her work on nano-diamonds. As well as having published over 170 peer reviewed papers she received the IoP Fred Hoyle medal in 2017 for her contribution to astrophysics.
Her topic is “Spinning Space Diamonds”.
“I will talk about the sparkling trail of diamonds from exploding stars to the birth of the solar system. My team recently found diamonds orbiting a few very young luminous stars, and I will discuss how this chance discovery came about and how it helped to solve a problem of mystery radio waves that has existed for over 20 years”.
The usual time and place: 7:30pm at the Kings Head, Abergavenny.
Come along to be entertained and informed. All are welcome.
