Dark Matter Research

The Foundation supports research on dark matter by focusing on innovative
models that can explain its nature and origin. These models involve interactions of dark matter with new particles and forces, providing opportunities to detect new and unexpected signals in experiments both on Earth and in outer space.

Quantum Gravity and Field
Theory

Quantum Gravity and Field Theory The Foundation contributes to research linking quantum physics and general relativity theory. The programme particularly focuses on holographic dualities that help to understand the connection between quantum gravity and conformal field theories, opening new perspectives for understanding cosmology and particle physics.

Global Experiments in Particle
Physics

The Landau Foundation is involved in cutting-edge global experiments to study the basic constituents of matter and phenomena that point to new physics beyond the Standard Model. These studies include the Higgs boson, neutrinos and other key aspects shaping our understanding of the universe.

NetZero Programme and Theoretical
Physics

As part of global initiatives to achieve zero carbon, the Landau Foundation engages in research programmes aimed at developing and applying theoretical approaches for modelling and optimising energy systems. This research contributes to the understanding and improvement of technologies in renewable energy fields such as solar and wind power, which are critical to achieving carbon reduction targets.

The Foundation's theoretical physicists analyse the interactions between different forms of energy and the environment, developing strategies for efficient energy use and storage.

Scientific research

Dark Matter Research

This research aims to understand the environmental implications and impacts of scientific research and technological developments in theoretical physics. Projects include analysing the carbon footprint of research facilities and developing strategies to minimise the environmental impact of research processes.
