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.
