He carries out research in particle physics in the areas of dark matter detection and the development of new kinds of particle detectors. He also has an interest in compact energy supplies and wireless energy transmission. Peter received a BS Engineering Physics from Berkeley in 1983 and a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from Caltech in 1988.<\/p>\n<p>The Ri is on Patreon: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TheRoyalInstitution<br \/>\nand Twitter: http:\/\/twitter.com\/ri_science<br \/>\nand Facebook: http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/royalinstitution<br \/>\nand TikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ri_science<br \/>\nListen to the Ri podcast: https:\/\/anchor.fm\/ri-science-podcast<br \/>\nOur editorial policy: https:\/\/www.rigb.org\/editing-ri-talks-and-moderating-comments<br \/>\nSubscribe for the latest science videos: http:\/\/bit.ly\/RiNewsletter<\/p>\n<p>Product links on this page may be affiliate links which means it won&#8217;t cost you any extra but we may earn a small commission if you decide to purchase through the link.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What exactly is dark matter?
