Delivering Light on Topical Collection “Discover Advances in the Design and Synthesis of Nano- Optics and Applications”
Recently it was reported High bright mono-coloured light delivery by confined laser dyes within single and dimeric silicon photonics nanoplatforms for Bio-FRET speciation assays. It was shown how Nanophotonics could provide us new Nanotools made of Light for Biophotonics!
Testing a nature-based family activity intervention for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
“In nature children find space to breathe"
We are exploring whether a nature activity box can be used in NHS Neurodiversity services following a child's ADHD diagnosis. We are working with families and staff members to see how easy it is to use and how it might help quality of life and wellbeing.
Cost-effective drone toolkits for stream habitat monitoring — enabling scalable, high-resolution assessments
Cost-effective monitoring is critical for tracking stream health. Our new UAV-based toolkit enables rapid, high-resolution habitat assessment using only an off-the-shelf drone, making routine ecological monitoring more accessible and scalable.
Buried deep freshwater reserves beneath salinity-stressed coastal Bangladesh
In large parts of the coastal zone of Bangladesh the shallow groundwater is salty, but in places there is deep groundwater that is fresh. We used electromagnetic methods to explore where deep groundwater is fresh versus saline to better understand this potential resource.
