As promised, Luokun Zhang has written a blog post about his time as a master student in Scotland and his internship in the group. Recommended reading for those curious about interdisciplinary research and what it's like to train as a scientist.

Building a chemical consciousness is the motivation behind Prof. Lee Cronin's flashy but unfamiliar computer. It's awe-inspiring, but the jury's out on just what it can do. Story by me at Chemistry World with comments from Theodore Gray and Ben de Lacy Costello. chemistryworld.com/news/pulsating…

Our new paper on Assembly Theory towards understanding selection and evolution.

Solving the origin of life is hard & may require entirely new laws of physics, as we are doing in assembly theory. Our goal: merge theory with experiment to solve our origins & find aliens, excellent writing on the promise, open questions by Philip Ball quantamagazine.org/a-new-theory-f…

There are at least three theories and tens of software to simulate the scattering of one plasmonic nanostructure.
However, if you want to track the spectra/local fields during a structural transformation (>1000 structures), this seems to be the only way:
