Great Science and Policy panel discussion at GYSS2021 @gyss_sg. Highlighted comment from Prof. Tan Chorh Chuan “Early-career scientists wanting to get involved in science policy should practice to explain their science factually, simply, & clearly” ✨✨✨ #GYSS2021

Still in the exciting Science and Policy panel discussion at GYSS2021 @gyss_sg . Highlighted comment by Prof. Venkatraman Ramakrishnan “To make a mark in science policy it is also important to participate in science public engagement and get the public involved” #GYSS2021

The random laser configures itself by thermophoresis around a heated Janus particle, and only when the cluster is large enough, and light trapping effective enough, lasing action occurs, as measured by the spectral narrowing plotted below.

New preprint out on how to harness quantum graph theory to simulate lasers on networks arxiv.org/abs/2203.16974. Thanks Dhruv Saxena, Riccardo Sapienza as well as the rest of the team for this long but rewarding journey!

Optical spectroscopy is very useful for characterising #nanomaterials. Find out more in our latest review paper with @pw_parkinson & co on state-of-the art techniques to assess material, #photonic and lasing properties of #nanowire #lasers. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Wonderful collaboration between groups in UCL Chemistry and Imperial Physics! We got these measurements during the pandemic! 😷💪 Here is a pic of us in the lab, with Manish Trivedi & Wai Kit Ng. Check out our paper in Nature Physics

Colloidal random lasers are hard to design and control. Research in Nature Physics shows that combining optically controlled micro-heaters with thermophilic particles attracted by them leads to microlasers with programmable and reversible patterns. go.nature.com/3o6McFC

Spiderweb-like lasers can emit light in controlled colours imperial.ac.uk/news/241354/sp…

We just did a new experiment with complex lasers that look like a spider web - or a mathematical graph Imperial Physics. A thread 🧵 1/9 imperial.ac.uk/news/241354/sp…

A nice podcast "On Your Wavelength" with @MeinzerNina and Ankita Anirban around our latest time-diffraction experiment shows.acast.com/on-your-wavele… (how cringe to listen to your own voice! 😀 )

New paper from our team Imperial College London IBM Europe Anna Fischer Riccardo Sapienza @KEMoselund We made a laser with a network topology that is highly sensitive to pump illumination to enable applications in machine vision and signal processing. More here: doi.org/10.1002/lpor.2…
