A team of researchers led by Chamkaur Ghag and Peter Barker was invited to showcase their work at the Royal Society鈥檚 annual Summer Exhibition. They demonstrated a new type of quantum sensor that uses levitation of microscopic glass spheres in a vacuum. The exhibition is the Royal Society鈥檚 flagship public engagement event.

The event put together by the team, 鈥淯nlocking the secrets of dark matter鈥, was a great success, with large numbers of the public visiting the demonstration and engaging with a strong team of nine enthusiastic explainers. The goal was to highlight new avenues in detecting the presence of dark matter, a mysterious substance believed to make up more than 80% of the matter in the universe but as-yet not detected in the laboratory.

This cross disciplinary team consisted of AMOPP and group members from the Cosmoparticle Initiative as well as 果冻影院Q. (a Cosmoparticle PhD student) put together an eye-catching video presentation, while , and (果冻影院Q) designed the posters. The demonstration, in which people could see and manipulate a single trapped particle, as used in the , was particularly popular. This was built by current AMOPP Brian Duff summer intern . The 果冻影院 team members were also joined by colleagues from Kings College,representing , the levitation network for advanced quantum technologies.

Also invited to the Summer Science Exhibition was Cosmoparticle Initiative co-director Andrew Pontzen who gave a packed-out talk on the use of simulations in cosmology.
