Using X ray absorption spectroscopy we can explore how matter behaves under extreme conditions, like those found inside gas giant planets. New paper by Dave Riley’s group @QUBelfast with @bkettle and Rory Baggott from my group @DoP_Imperial. mdpi-res.com/d_attachment/at…

Just saw "Once" in the Phoenix theatre. An utter joy. And a stupidly talented cast. Hugely recommended.
