The UK Neutron Scattering Group is delighted to announce that its upcoming Early Career Meeting will be held in Bristol in January 2026. This gathering will provide a platform for networking with fellow neutron scattering researchers, participating in career development activities, and delivering oral presentations. Researchers from diverse backgrounds who utilise neutron scattering in any capacity are warmly invited to attend, provided they are early in their careers—typically within 12 years of completing their final degree.

The five naked­eye planets, bright, conspicuous, and not fixed relative to the stars, have piqued the interest of humanity from the first civilisations to the present day. In this talk I will look at how our models of the solar system have evolved over time, from the first attempts to make sense of the planets' motions to the present day focus on the early history of the planetary system.

The 3 Minute Wonder competition is a UK and Ireland-wide science communication competition which challenges researchers or project team members to explain their work to the public in just three minutes, pitching their original research to a panel of judges and a non-specialist audience. The aim is to bring cutting edge physics-related research to life for the general public.

The study of extraterrestrial matter, from meteorites passing by cosmic dust to sample returned from asteroids, has a long and fascinating history. For centuries, humans have been intrigued by stones from the sky,” but it was only relatively recently that scientists began to understand the true nature and significance of meteorites and cosmic dust. This talk explores the development of the science of meteoritics, tracing its evolution from early observations to the modern era of sophisticated analyses. We will examine key discoveries that revolutionized our understanding of these celestial messengers, particularly focusing on the “Antarctic meteorite revolution” – a period of unparalleled discovery driven by the unique conditions of the frozen continent. During this talk, I will explore this history and explain how scientists have learned to decipher these celestial objects. This journey reveals how meteoritics has helped us unravel the mysteries of the early solar system, shedding light on the formation of planets and the building blocks of life.

In this talk Zen will take a whimsical look at how music and music making have danced with technology throughout time, and how a digital imagination could replace the automation of today, and perhaps the humans of tomorrow. He will help navigate ways to use those wishes wisely to create the right tools and rules, so that rather than replacing humans, it empowers them with new abilities, skills, and platforms for self expression. Through co-creation we can hopefully prevent the full automation of humanity, and perhaps preserve the act of creativity and art itself!

This session will be led by soft matter physicist Dr Kyle Baldwin to focus on the stable foams that often accompany beer as “head”. Why are beers foamy in the first place, how do the bubbles behave (or misbehave) in the glass, and why is this froth so important? The Physics of the Everyday series aims to introduce the fundamental physics behind everyday things we take for granted in an accessible, fun, and interactive way. Each short talk will be accompanied by a demonstration and investigation, as well as an opportunity for conversation and discussion.

A short talk and workshop, followed by a networking opportunity.
