Professor of Physics and Material Science
Astronomers have long thought that other stars likely had their own planets around them, but they just did not know whether they were there, because planets are incredibly hard to see.
Professor of physics and astrophysical sciences
I have been part of a collective enterprise over the last 50 years trying to understand how the universe evolved from that beginning to its present stage – how the first galaxies formed, how the first stars formed. At the moment, we only know that life exists in one place, but if we could find it in a few nearby planets, around other stars, that would tell us that the entire universe must be teeming with life, and that will be the most fascinating discovery of all time.

For Kostya Novoselov, art is another form of exploration — driven by intuition, passion and joy. His artistic practice reveals the same curiosity about creation, language, and complexity that defines his scientific discoveries.

It's time for a knowledge expedition
Discover the world's best researchers.
Enjoy conversations with leading academics, scientists and thinkers.
The realm of DNA-based materials combines the way DNA is manipulated and handled inside our cells with innovative ways of thinking about material science outside, for industrial purposes.
Professor of Biomaterials
Adam Phillips has written some 30 books now and most of them are made up of essays. They're epigrammatic, enlivening, and they use and tease out a genre developed or invented perhaps by Montaigne and made a little more comical by Charles Lamb.
With hundreds of billions of stars in a galaxy and hundreds of billions of galaxies, there are just untold numbers of planets out there. The vastness of space is truly incomprehensible.

We still don’t understand how complex systems find the pathway out of chaos and emerge from randomness. Understanding this pathway may lead us toward understanding the origin of life.
You create a new paradigm, one paradigm is replaced by another: this is how scientific discovery works. From graphene to functional materials, progress comes from shifting perspectives and embracing complexity.
