| Aug 17, 2026 | We have built The Game of Diffraction: an interactive 3D simulator of a six-circle diffractometer that runs entirely in the browser, for any wavelength, detector, crystal structure and orientation you give it. Turn the circles and watch the Bragg peaks move across the detector in real time. It is meant to help crystallography and synchrotron users navigate reciprocal space before they get to the beamline, and to make how diffraction actually works visible for teaching.  ▶ Play the game in your browser |
| Aug 03, 2026 | Congratulations to Zicheng Cai, who successfully defended his MPhil thesis (co-supervised with Prof. Sam Stranks), Hyperspectral Time-Resolved Photoluminescence Mapping of Charge Carrier Dynamics in Halide Perovskite Thin Films.  |
| May 12, 2026 | gpuscatter is online: a fully GPU-based code for S(q,ω) calculations from MD trajectories, with up to 500× speedup over CPU implementations, saving us days when analysing diffuse scattering from MD.  |
| Apr 21, 2026 | I am organising a symposium with Aron Walsh and Aaron Lindenberg at MATSUS Fall 2026 in Mallorca, on Structure and Dynamics in Lead Halide Perovskites. See the invited speaker lineup.  |
| Jan 15, 2026 | Our work on dynamic nanodomains is featured on the cover of the DESY Photon Science 2025 Annual Report.  |
