By me @Forbes and @ForbesEurope: Can #passwords be replaced by 'unbreakable' #quantum IDs containing 1,000 trillion atoms?
#Kudos Professor Ben Varcoe, @LargeCardinal and @YoungQuantum for lending me their brains

What is quantum tunneling? Why is it important? How is it crucial for life on Earth? Enjoy the video below, made by two of my talented interns, which explains the strange world of quantum mechanics using magic, circus and animation! youtu.be/Vgnxt3gJJN4 #Quantum @LancasterUni

In 2017, at the @RoyalSociety's #SummerScience exhibition we showed how imperfections in nanomaterials can be used to identify them. Now for 2020's #SummerScience online, we're proud to show how far the tech has come in the fight against counterfeiting! youtube.com/watch?v=U3NgC4lu…

Interested in learning how we make measurements with an atomic force microscope? We'll be supporting IsoLab @LU_IsoLab at New Scientist Live @newscilive - come visit us in September to find out more!
It's alive! First test of our Lego AFM. Come down and see the finished article at @newscilive and explore how we image single atoms and molecules @LancUniPhysics @LancasterUni #legoeducation

For me, this chart is the most alarming of the latest batch.
US & UK daily death tolls are accelerating in a straight line on a log scale chart, i.e still increasing exponentially.
~All other countries had begun slowing the rate of increase in deaths by now.
Now onto *daily new deaths*:
• Daily death tolls flattening in Italy & Spain: each new day brings fewer deaths
• But in UK & US the death toll is accelerating. More dead every day than the last, and rate of increase also rising

NEW: in yesterday’s UK gov press conf, we heard UK road traffic had risen
We’ve been tracking this at @FinancialTimes for weeks using data from @TomTom, and it’s true:
Londoners are on the roads much more than people in many foreign cities

The International Conference on Molecular-Scale Charge and Thermal Transport was a real success. Thanks to EMPA for the excellent organization and to all participants for the great talks and discussions.
BEAM ON. Starting hard x-rays at beamline I09 @DiamondLightSou. This time running temperature dependent x-ray standing wave to watch how our molecules move with picometer precision.
Back at Diamond Light Source for 7 days of time awarded to run x-ray standing wave experiments on I09. Easy to forget the sheer scale of this place! @DiamondLightSou

It's chilly up in here! 🥶❄️👨🔬 Our physics students have been busy with #lego in the Low Temp Lab this winter.
@IOP_LaCu @PhysicsNews
Scientists in England have frozen LEGO blocks to the coldest temperature possible on Earth, and the implications could be big cnn.it/2t8b0DC
