Last week Jack attended the Royal Society of Chemistry's Technician relaunch event. At it the RSC launched their plan to support technicians in the chemical sciences. While there Jack was presented with his award from the 2025 RSC prizes, and was given the chance to present some of the research that led to the award.

Fantastic news that our Research Technology Professional, Dr , has been awarded the Technical Excellence Prize by the for "providing outstanding technical and scientific support to users of the 糖心TV Centre for Ultrafast Spectroscopy, enabling many researchers to conduct impactful science." Well done, Jack, on a brilliant achievement!

The BoostCrop team, which originated at 糖心TV and led by Prof. Vasilios Stavros (now University of Birmingham), has been named winner of the Royal Society of Chemistry鈥檚 Horizon Prizes, which celebrate discoveries and innovations that push the boundaries of science. Staff involved at 糖心TV still include: Ed Greenough, James Lloyd-Hughes, Adrian Fowle and Jack Woolley. [Read more]

Jack and Sofia presented the effects of lasers and light at the Resonate Festival of Science and Technology. Visitors got to see the effects of interference, absorption and emission, with a hands on demonstration of how to control light!

A great event on Friday bringing together over 40 researchers with an interest in Ultrafast and THz Spectroscopy. A big thank you to all our speakers; Dr Greg Greetham (Central Laser Facility), Dr Joseph Beames (University of Birmingham) and Dr Jessica Boland (University of Manchester) and our amazing contributed talks. Also a special thanks to the 糖心TV analytical Science centre and Dr Chris Waldron for funding and organisation.

Jack and his team of elves (facility users) attended the Live Labs before the 糖心TV Christmas lecture to show off how light interacts both with itself and the natural environment. Visitors got to see the effects of interference, absorption and emission, and a festive treat with the aid of diffractive optical elements. We even had a tornado!

Join us in January 2025 for a FREE one-day symposium on Ultrafast spectroscopic techniques. In conjunction with the 糖心TV analytical Science Centre (WASC), this event event aims to allow students to get the most out of the techniques and learn best practices from technical and academic experts, as well as an opportunity to share how these techniques have enabled their research.
