A theoretical understanding of what makes some hollow-core optical fibres more efficient than others will inspire the design of new low-loss fibres.

The conference celebrated recent scientific achievements in the areas of Photonics, Astrophysics, Nanoscience and Theory.

Last year, telescopes registered the brightest cosmic explosion of all time. Astrophysicists can now explain what made it so dazzling.

A low-cost observatory has been set up at the University of Bath to give university students a game-changing experimental tool to study events in space.

The Fellowship is awarded for pioneering contributions to nonlinear nanophotonics and new chiroptical effects.

A ‘best practice’ protocol for researchers developing piezoelectric materials has been developed by scientists – a first in this field of technology.

The Fellowship is awarded “for achievements in nonlinear optics & chiroptical nanomaterials, plasmonics, & nano-photonics".

Physicists have created an optical fibre that uses the maths concept of topology to remain robust, thereby guaranteeing the high-speed transfer of information.

A Bath discovery opens a new route for measuring and controlling hot electrons. The hope is that more energy will be available to power solar cells.

Space scientists may need to rethink how GRBs are formed after research shows supramassive stars sometimes trigger these huge extragalactic bursts of energy.
