Dr. Philip Moriarty is a Professor of Physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham. In addition, he is an avid contributor to the Sixty Symbols YouTube video project and author of the book When the Uncertainty Principle Goes to 11: Or How to Explain Quantum Physics with Heavy Metal. Philip is an enthusiastic heavy metal music fan, so he spends his free time listening to rock and other types of music. He also plays a few instruments, including guitar and Aerodrums. The work in Philip's research group focuses on imaging and moving single atoms on different surfaces. He is a nanoscientist, his lab's goals are to develop methods for computer-controlled manipulation of matter and 3D printing where you can build materials and objects from individual atoms. Philip received his Ph.D. in Physical Sciences from Dublin City University, and he conducted postdoctoral research in physics at the University of Nottingham before joining the faculty there. Over the course of his career, Philip has received a number of awards and honors, including being a member of the Sixty Symbols team awarded the 2016 Kelvin Medal from the Institute of Physics for innovative and effective promotion of the public understanding of physics, and he was also a winner of the 2015 I'm a Scientist, Get Me Out of Here Terbium Zone contest. In our interview Philip shares more about his life and science.

Machine learning algorithms are in the spotlight right now, leading some to worry about them remaking the world into something alien & grotesque, but there's another, less popular concern: what if they make it into exactly what we think it is? https://youtu.be/vuyaZtBSV1w - Links for the Curious - The Man Behind The Brilliant Media Hoax Of “I, Libertine” (Callan, 2013) - https://www.theawl.com/2013/02/the-man-behind-the-brilliant-media-hoax-of-i-libertine/ If the map becomes the territory then we will be lost (Williams, 2019) - https://librarian.aedileworks.com/2019/03/03/if-the-map-becomes-the-territory-then-we-will-be-lost/ Childhood's End (Dyson, 2019) - https://www.edge.org/conversation/george_dyson-childhoods-end "I, Libertine" by Theodore Sturgeon - https://www.amazon.com/I-Libertine-Theodore-Sturgeon-ebook/dp/B00D00W9TM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=GAD5PFKKURPU&keywords=I%2C+libertine&qid=1678821981&sprefix=i%2C+libertine%2Caps%2C155&sr=8-1 Rethinking reification (Pitkin, 1987) - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00135697 Borders that are Visible on Satellite Imagery (Dempsey, 2014) - https://www.geographyrealm.com/borders-visible-satellite-imagery/ ChatGPT Does Physics, by Sixty Symbols - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBtfwa-Fexc ChatGPT vs. Photocopier - https://twitter.com/aedison/status/1639233873841201153 ChatGPT is a Blurry JPEG of the Web (Chiang, 2023) - https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/chatgpt-is-a-blurry-jpeg-of-the-web Lukács's Theory of Reification and Contemporary Social Movements (Feenberg, 2013) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlIe5CHdeEo OpenAI Chatbot Spits Out Biased Musings, Despite Guardrails (Alba, 2022) - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2022-12-08/chatgpt-open-ai-s-chatbot-is-spitting-out-biased-sexist-results The Internet's New Favorite AI Proposes Torturing Iranians and Surveilling Mosques (Biddle, 2022) - https://theintercept.com/2022/12/08/openai-chatgpt-ai-bias-ethics/ Diffusion Bias Explorer - https://huggingface.co/spaces/society-ethics/DiffusionBiasExplorer AI & the American Smile (Jenka, 2023) - https://medium.com/@socialcreature/ai-and-the-american-smile-76d23a0fbfaf the customer service of the new Bing chat is amazing - https://www.reddit.com/r/bing/comments/110eagl/the_customer_service_of_the_new_bing_chat_is/ Exclusive: OpenAI Used Kenyan Workers on Less Than $2 Per Hour to Make ChatGPT Less Toxic (Perrigo, 2023) - https://time.com/6247678/openai-chatgpt-kenya-workers/ ChatGPT vs. Buzzfeed Article Ideas - https://twitter.com/Jon_Christian/status/1641453192553611264 ChatGPT vs. Christian Jokes vs. Muslim Jokes - https://twitter.com/SJWilliams123/status/1640746788926763010/photo/1 ChatGPT vs. Cause of 2014 War in Ukraine - https://twitter.com/D0Pis/status/1640789579379916800/photo/1 ChatGPT vs. Girlfriend Bleeding Out - https://twitter.com/carolyn_vb/status/1640788165504933910 ChatGPT vs. Meaning of Art - https://twitter.com/Nartimar/status/1640833502949040128 ChatGPT vs. School Shootings - https://twitter.com/Dsrussosusan/status/1640831527175979008 ChatGPT Python Program for Torture Based on Nationality - https://twitter.com/spiantado/status/1599462405225881600

It's a big universe we live in, so it comes as no surprise that big numbers are needed to describe it. There are roughly 1022 stars in the observable universe, and about 1088 particles altogether. But these numbers are nothing compared to some of the truly ginormous quantities that mathematicians have found to talk about, with inscrutable names like Graham's Number and TREE(3). Could such immense numbers have any meaningful relationship with the physical world? In his recent book Fantastic Numbers and Where to Find Them, theoretical physicist Antonio Padilla explores both our actual universe and the abstract world of immense numbers, and finds surprising connections between them.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Antonio (Tony) Padilla received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Durham.

5...4...3...2...1....we're blasting off (metaphorically) into space on this weeks episode of NG Meets... as we speak to Michael Merrifield, who is Professor of Astronomy at the University of Nottingham. We chat to Michael about his career in the field of astronomy and some of the fascinating work he does, including his involvement in the ELT (Extremely Large Telescope) project - and we also address the whole issue of acronyms in science. Michael tells us about Sixty Symbols, the University's Physic teams Youtube video series that offers up a collection of videos on all things physics, and his first home telescope and #LockdownAstronomy project. We also chat about social media, the spread of false news and conspiracies and how Michael just cannot help engaging with a climate denying former UKIP MEP. As a professor at the university Michael has a first hand experience of the impact the coronavirus lockdown has had on further education and he tells us about how the University had to adapt to the new way of teaching, the difficulties around it, the plans for the new school year and what it might mean for further education moving forward. Finally, Michael tells us the one thing in astronomy that excites him more than anything else. This is a thrilling episode for lovers of science and astronomy and may well give you a new found appreciation of the night sky and the urge to look up a little more often.

  In 1950, four patriotic Scots broke in to Westminster Abbey to steal the Stone of Scone, a symbol of Scottish independence that had lain there for 600 years. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll follow the memorable events of that evening and their meaning for the participants, their nation, and the United Kingdom. We'll also evade a death ray and puzzle over Santa's correspondence. Intro: In the 1920s Massachusetts mechanical engineer Elis Stenman fashioned a house out of pressed newspaper.

The work in Philip’s research group focuses on imaging and moving single atoms on different surfaces. He is a nanoscientist, and an important tool for Philip’s research is a scanning probe microscope which uses an extremely sharp probe to create images of different surfaces and to modify matter down to the level of single chemical bonds. Philip received his Ph.D. in Physical Sciences from Dublin City University, and he conducted postdoctoral research in physics at the University of Nottingham before joining the faculty there. Over the course of his career, Philip has received a number of awards and honors, including being a member of the Sixty Symbols team awarded the 2016 Kelvin Medal from the Institute of Physics for innovative and effective promotion of the public understanding of physics, and he was also a winner of the 2015 I’m a Scientist, Get Me Out of Here Terbium Zone contest.

Nottingham Physics Professor Philip Moriarty joined David Domminney Fowler to talk about his new book, When "The Uncertainty Principle Goes To 11 or How To Explain Quantum Physics With Heavy Metal". Also he discusses his work on the physics channel Sixty Symbols and how our drummer Paul Bonney is going to be in a published physics paper. It gets a little technical in the first half but the second half is lighter!
