Using X ray absorption spectroscopy we can explore how matter behaves under extreme conditions, like those found inside gas giant planets. New paper by Dave Riley’s group @QUBelfast with @bkettle and Rory Baggott from my group @DoP_Imperial. mdpi-res.com/d_attachment/a…

The pioneering spirit is embedded in our DNA. Today, we introduce a new series called ‘Fusion Pioneers’, a behind-the-scenes look at the work our team. First up is Cary Colgan, Plasma Diagnostician, whose work in diagnostics involves looking into the heart of fusion plasmas.

Inaugural done. What a great evening! Lovely to have so many friends, family, colleagues and students come along

When using a laser wakefield accelerator, if your experiment alters the beam proprieties before you can measure them, what can you do? With @MattStreeterUK we trained a neural net to predict the electron spectrum using a suite of non-invasive diagnostics doi.org/10.1017/hpl.20…

Come and work with us!

We're looking for a Laser #Scientist to join our @CLF_STFC Vulcan laser team ✨ Find out more about the role and apply by 17 April 👉 careersportal.co.uk/UKRI-careers/j… @STFC_Matters

Really wonderful photos of some fab everyday science on display @2RoyalAvenue for the whole 2 weeks of @niscifest - pop by to get inspired by science fun facts for all ages!

At what stage do you submit to preprint servers like @arxiv?

Anomalous two-photon Compton scattering doi.org/10.1088/1367-2… via @IOPscience

A laser–plasma platform for photon–photon physics: the two photon Breit–Wheeler process doi.org/10.1088/1367-2… via @IOPscience

@noaconnolly @foyvance Try again using the presale link on the main page! Wasn't working before for me, but is now - no need for code either

@foyvance There is no place to enter the code to purchase a ticket for the London presale - any ideas??

Introducing Foy Vance The Tour. It’s been a couple years since last we saw each other and I am looking forward to putting that right by getting back out on the road this year. Presale starts Monday 3 June at 10AM local time. Use code BURDEN to access. foyvance.com

Keep going Clare Scullion!! (Soon to be Kettle! :P ). You can do it! @clare_scullion #BiofreezeCheer #Bib3265

@ColmMcclean @conor_mccr @foyvance @Hamois Where does a fellow Northern Irishman go for post gig pints?

@McIlroyRory Yo Rors! I'm tradin Bfast for US in Jan. Still too late for Masters tix! Square me up?? I'll get the pints next time your home!

@garysnowpatrol @iainarcher Come on gL, I'm Belfast bound from California tomorrow afternoon! Any chance of a breakfast gig?

Good time last night with @InvestNI_USA Investors and clients talking opportunities in my native Northern Ireland. #InvestmentNI

@conorfitzmusic @foyvance From the bushes?

@jamesvmcmorrow No Belfast dates? Where's the love?
