🏃♂️ Attosecond technology creates extremely short pulses of light that make scientific-level super-slo-motion photography possible, revealing secret ultrafast processes that were hitherto hidden from humanity, but some natural processes are still hard to understand as lab experiments use wavelengths different from natural sunlight. ☀ With £2m of European funding being provided to Heriot-Watt's Dr Christian Brahms to develop a visible/ultraviolet attosecond light source that mimics natural sunlight, these blind spots of the existing attosecond technology could be removed. “Many of the most important breakthroughs in the history of science have been enabled by observing nature at scales far beyond the limits of human perception. That’s exactly what we’ll be working on - pushing far beyond the limits of conventional laser sources to bring fundamental science into focus.” said Brahms. #attosecond #microscopy #scientificresearch Heriot-Watt University / Christian Brahms https://lnkd.in/eef95t_d

I recently had the pleasure of taking an interview with Microscopy & Analysis Magazine about making photographic art through the microscope. #sciencephotography #scienceart #microscopy #scienceandart #scienceandnature #science #scienceeducation #photography #exploration

🌟 Today on "Science Soup" in the segment "Physics Over Coffee"! ☕🔬 I had the extraordinary opportunity to host a conversation with a remarkable guest – Professor Andrew Pun, a chemist from the University of California. Here, I’m sharing a short 1-minute clip from our 10-minute discussion. 🌟 We talked about Professor Pun's outstanding work in the field of Photochemistry. Our discussion also touched on his impressions of the international student conference Open Readings, where young researchers from around the world exchange their ideas. 🌍✨ Science changes the world – and we understand it better when we listen to inspiring individuals like Professor Andrew Pun! I invite you to watch the episode and discover how this story can enrich your knowledge and curiosity. 👉 The episode is now available on LRT PLIUS and LRT Mediateka! Don’t miss it. 📍 From 15:58 min: https://lnkd.in/dDbKsmmW #ScienceSoup #PhysicsOverCoffee #ChemistryNobelPrize #Photochemistry #OpenReadings #ScienceInspires

National Science and Research Priority 3: Elevating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems Microscopy Australia’s facilities are supporting and leading projects that elevate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge systems. Some examples include the partnership between the University of Queensland (UQ) and the Dugulungi Aboriginal Corporation (mentioned in the previous post) to harvest spinifex grass for the production of super-strong carbon nanofibres, and the subsequent spin out of Trioda Wilingi from the UQ to develop medical gels from the nanofibres. We are also involved in a number of projects that work with Aboriginal groups, including with the Kandiwal Aboriginal Corporation, to help unravel the history and practices around rock art sites and their preservation, and research on historical banana cultivation in the Torres Strait. Microscopy Australia has also curated the Stories and Structures – New Connections exhibition that has worked with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to relate microscopic images of natural objects to their artwork and stories from around the country. This draws visual and functional parallels between Western and Indigenous knowledge systems with the aims of contributing to reconciliation and elevation of Indigenous knowledge. We have also worked with Gail Mabo to generate 3D scans of sand grains in preparation for 3D printed versions for her artworks, including Tagai, that focus on raising the profile of Torres Strait Islander navigation systems.

This photomicrograph (100x magnification) captures the moment where three growing crystal fronts are on the verge of merging. Polarisation highlights the unique optical properties creating a feast for the eyes, not only in terms of light and colour, but also into the otherwise hidden complex architectural structure making up the films. We can see a marvel of geometric precision and natural artistry unfolding before our eyes. As the blue wavelengths pass through the film's anisotropic structure, they undergo fascinating transformations, resulting in a palette of complimentary colours. #science #scienceart #optics #physics #artofsciencephotography #sciencephoto #research #microscopyart #microscopy #crystals #crystalgrowth #crystalart #polarisation #polarisedlightmicroscopy #polarisedlight #stemeducation #stem #sciencecommunication #scienceeducation
