One of our hands-on nanophotonics sessions from last year. In the Nanophotonics research group we use surface-enhanced #plasmonics to detect molecules far too small to see, as signals grow stronger near the plasmonic surface. You can see in the image the ball lights up closer to the surface.
The Discovery Factory: 150 Years of the Cavendish Laboratory talk by Dr Harry Cliff at Cambridge Festival 2025.
One of the past hands on Robotics sessions.
Explosions, escape rooms, a planetarium, and the chance to join the Cambridge Physics scientists! Join us at the Ray Dolby Centre this #CamFest. Hands-on physics for all ages. 🔗 More details: buff.ly/GOquBkX

Really enjoyed listening to Philippe Sands talking about his new book yesterday at the #CambridgeFestival. Recently devoured The Ratline, about Nazis on the run after WWII. I love his style of writing & he’s so eloquent and passionate when he speaks. A person after my own heart!
🎶 What if you could play a microscope image of a #mineral like a record? Scientists from Cambridge & Anglia Ruskin have turned #volcanic mineral images into magical music!
