New #preprint from my group - using a different polymer molecular weight made our #upconversion nanoparticles ~5X brighter, but the trade-off is FRET efficiency!
A nice showcase of our new spectrometer capabilities & a big thanks to excellent collaborators!

Pretty much the last place in the universe I'd expect to find planets is in the incredibly violent and radiation-laden accretion disks around supermassive black holes.
And yet… maybe? ⚫ 🌎

“On 20 May the university’s UCU branch said it will take 61 days of strike action from Monday 1 June to Friday 31 July, on top of a pre-scheduled strike day in May.”
Two months of strikes confirmed at #Nottingham University. Difficult times for everyone involved.

Thermo Fisher now has a page up in response to our observations. They flatly deny that images were manipulated or fabricated while repeating that images were "optimized for presentation and clarity on the website", no lie, six times.

Hello.
The moment you gate educational videos behind a paywall, a massive wall of bureaucracy goes up.
Teachers have to beg administrators for budgets, companies have to wine-and-dine school boards, millions of students get locked out, and people get forced into using material they don't like.
