Jeremy Baumberg featured in issue of Research Horizons
Issue 33 features a video of Jeremy talking about how to train your drugs
Felix Benz wins Abdus Salam prize
NanoPhotonics researcher Felix Benz has been awarded the prestigious Abdus Salam prize. His work utilizes the strange properties of tiny particles of gold; light is concentrated down smaller than a single atom enabling a look at individual chemical bonds inside molecules, opening up new ways to study light and matter.
Anna Lombardi awarded best poster
Anna attends the META'16 conference in Malaga (Spain) and is awarded best poster
Worlds smallest engine?
Nanophotonics researchers have built a nano-engine that could form the basis for future applications in nano-robotics, including robots small enough to enter living cells.

Giuliana
The American Physical Society honoured Giuliana Di Martino, who recently joined us from Imperial College London, as the Woman Physicist of the Month for November.
Watching molecules ‘dance’ in real time
A new technique which traps light at the nanoscale to enable real-time monitoring of individual molecules bending and flexing may aid in our understanding of how changes within a cell can lead to diseases such as cancer.
Building ‘invisible’ materials with light
A new technique which uses light like a needle to thread long chains of particles could help bring sci-fi concepts such as cloaking devices one step closer to reality.
Royal Society Medallist
Professor Jeremy Baumberg FRS was awarded the Rumford Medal in 2014 for his outstanding creativity in nanophotonics.
Trapping the light fantastic
Online article discusses the development of a ‘nanobarrel’ that traps and concentrates light onto single molecules.
