On Your Wavelength

This month, we're pushing the limits of ideal models. A recent study in Nature Communications shows how the physics of 1D systems deviates from the model in unexpected ways when the temperature is ra…

This month, we're looking into the impressive white colour of the Pacific Cleaner shrimp. A recent study in Nature Photonics reveals how birefringence enables the the shrimp to overcome optical crowd…

This month, we're going back to a classic quantum experiment - done with a twist. A recent study in Nature Physics does Young's double-slit experiment, but in time rather than in space. Tune in to fi…

Welcome to Season 2! This month, we're finding out how to solve equations with light. A recent study in Nature Nanotechnology uses ultrathin optical metagratings to solve integral equations in free s…

A special live show brought to you from the Berlin Science Week 2022. A recent study in Communications Engineering presents a photonic setup to create a neural network. Tune in to find out more...

This month, we're looking inside the atom. A recent study uses a combination of techniques to probe the shapes that the orbitals of a nucleus can take, and finds some fascinating results. Tune in to …

This month, we take a look inside cells. A recent study uses a new Raman scattering technique to probe liquid-liquid phase separation in cells. Tune in to find out more...

Featuring Samrat Mukhopadhya…

This month, we take a look at amorphous solids. A recent study finds that the "boson peak" - a universal feature of amorphous solids, originates from dynamical defects. Tune in to find out more...

This month, we take a look at optical singularities. A recent experiment finds that light-matter interactions can be used to create and control phase singularities in organic thin films. Tune in to f…

This month, we chat about antimatter. A recent experiment probing antiprotonic helium (a helium atom where one of the electrons is replaced by an antiproton) found an unexpected result. Rather than s…
