SAGEX is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network funded by the European Commission.
Take a look at the online exhibition 'SAGEX - at the Frontiers of Physics' which was created by SAGEX researchers and relates to their work in scattering amplitudes. Explore the interactive web app which allows you to experience the wonderful world of quantum particles, from basic concepts to cutting-edge ideas, through short videos, games, and other interactive elements.
SAGEX doctoral students have created an exciting and moving film about what studying for a PhD in Physics involves.
Can physics shed new light on understanding language? PlusMagazine talked to theoretical physicist Dr Sanjaye Ramgoolam from the Centre for Theoretical Physics, about how his work as a physicist directly inspired the development of an exciting new approach to understanding language – linguistic matrix theory.

This demonstrates how we use electromagnetic waves to communicate through a game. Students encode a message onto a wave, relating this back to the underlying physics and the uses of different parts of the spectrum in communication.
See the video above and presentation file below for how to run. The activity uses the following resources:EM Spectrum Communication Game Presentation [PPT 1,487KB]Letter Codes [PDF 1,123KB]Amplitude Worksheet [PDF 882KB]Phase Worksheet [PDF 882KB]
This SEPnet developed activity encourages students to think of the bigger picture connecting Physics to the real world, careers, and the scientific method. Register as a user to download the resources.
