The term firewave describes multiple urban wildfires triggered by extended periods of hot, dry weather. Hot, dry summers bring new 'firewave' risk to UK cities, scientists warn bbc.com/news/articles/…

We recently took part in a new @veritasium video on Lithium-ion battery technology at Imperial. We conducted a demonstration of a battery fire. Watch the video here: lnkd.in/dP4HmYYN

.@veritasium met our @ImperialMechEng researchers to find out why batteries explode, and how batteries are tested for their safety. They also visited @ImperialDyson to discuss why we need to design more sustainable energy solutions🔋 Watch online now: youtube.com/watch?v=AGglJe…

I took part in this important documentary on the Grenfell Tower fire, contributing an interview and live fire demonstrations filmed at Imperial College London. I explain the science of building fires, how Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding burns and what we learned fron the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.   This film is a necessary reminder of what went wrong and why flammable cladding must never again be allowed on high-rise buildings.   Thank you to the directors and fabulous crew for making this documentary with care and clarity.
