As hybrid qubit-oscillator algorithm development and trapped-ion hardware demonstrations advance in parallel, there is a lack of a compilation layer connecting the two at the pulse level in the vertic…
Warm-blooded vertebrates accumulate approximately $\Nstar \approx 10^9$ cardiac cycles over a natural lifetime, a striking empirical regularity first quantified by Lindstedt and Calder yet lacking a p…
Accurate characterisation of margins in excised breast cancer tumours is critical to the success of surgical interventions, yet margin status is typically confirmed post-operatively using histopatholo…
Inverse-designed nanophotonic media are a promising platform for compact optical neural networks, but training them end to end is expensive because each adjoint iteration couples the full-wave solver …
Cosmic distances can be measured using two complementary probes: Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia), serving as standard candles, and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), serving as standard rulers. The lumino…
We report the discovery of four extremely faint ($m_{\mathrm{F444W}}\gtrsim29$) red point sources in recent ultra-deep JWST/NIRCam images of the strong lensing galaxy cluster Abell S1063. All four sou…
This is an active module taught to Bachelor's and Master's students at the University of Birmingham since 2021, covering selected topics in applied optics with an emphasis on imaging, lasers, and clas…
Breast cancer diagnosis through thermographic image analysis remains a critical challenge in medical AI, with classical deep learning approaches facing limitations in complex thermal pattern classific…
Mergers and interactions can significantly affect the morphological and dynamical properties of galaxies, however the impact of mergers on turbulence at $z > 1$ has not been observationally constraine…
Context. Nearly 150 tidal streams are known in the Milky Way, but full phase-space information exists for only a few. RR Lyrae stars (RRL), as standard candles, provide a powerful way to probe these s…
Solid-state lithium batteries have attracted considerable attention due to their potential to provide improved safety and higher energy density compared with conventional liquid electrolyte batteries.…
High-precision high-fidelity spectrographs are the most powerful instruments for exoplanets detection and characterization. The sub-m/s radial-velocity precision, required to detect Earth-mass exoplan…
A new digital optical module (DOM) has been developed for the proposed expansion to the IceCube detector at the South Pole, IceCube-Gen2. The "Gen2-DOM" has 4 times the integrated photon sensitivity o…
Whether the "Hubble sequence" of galaxy morphologies exists up to z~4 is still disputed, and one of the challenges is characterizing galaxy structure consistently across a wide range of redshifts. To …
Pd-based anodes for alcohol oxidation suffer from surface poisoning and sluggish kinetics. Here, we developed Pd-Nb2O5/C nanocomposites to improve ethanol electrooxidation kinetics and CO tolerance in…
When asked what causes the magnetic curvature drift of a charged particle moving in a curving magnetic field, people respond that there is an `F-cross-B' motion of the `guiding center' due to the cent…
We present homogeneous, near-infrared ($JHK_s$ bands) time-series observations of the classical Carina dwarf Spheroidal (dSph) galaxy to determine accurate and precise distances using the pulsating st…
Ceramic solid-state batteries with sodium (Na) metal electrodes promise enhanced safety and energy density compared to contemporary secondary batteries. However, the critical delamination of the Na me…
Sodium-ion batteries require anodes that combine high capacity, low operating voltage, fast Na-ion transport, and mechanical stability, which conventional anodes struggle to deliver. Here, we use the …
For ethylene carbonate on the (100) surface of lithium, we calculate the adsorption energy in two binding motifs as well as the barrier height for a ring-opening decomposition reaction. We validate a …
