Warwick Live Labs
Jack and his team of elves (facility users) attended the Live Labs before the Warwick Christmas lecture to show off how light interacts both with itself and the natural environment. Visitors got to see the effects of interference, absorption and emission, and a festive treat with the aid of diffractive optical elements. We even had a tornado!
Ultrafast Spectroscopy Symposium
Join us in January 2025 for a FREE one-day symposium on Ultrafast spectroscopic techniques. In conjunction with the Warwick analytical Science Centre (WASC), this event event aims to allow students to get the most out of the techniques and learn best practices from technical and academic experts, as well as an opportunity to share how these techniques have enabled their research.

Curious Adventures in Colour and Light
Warwick University researchers, Dr Jack Woolley – facility manager of the Warwick Centre for Ultrafast Spectroscopy and Dr Sofia Goia – research fellow in CiMAT WMG, set up to showcase the power of light and demonstrate how light can help scientists to uncover the inner workings of chemical reactions happening all around us at the atomic level through a workshop held at Compton Verney Art Gallery in Warwick. Through some fun experiments, audience members were able to learn about current research work performed at Warwick University through an interactive laser interferometry experiment. Moreover, visitors were able to learn about sunscreens and how they work, along with examples of UV-active compounds found in everyday products and put their imagination to test with exciting ‘invisible’ UV-active ink drawings.
Equipment Sharing Fund
The Equipment Sharing Fund allows researchers, PhD students and Research Technical Professionals (RTPs) to access cutting-edge research equipment, not available in their home institution. Funds cover the cost of initial analysis, helping to strengthen collaboration opportunities and ensure value for money within the UK’s research and innovation ecosystem. The fund opens for three rounds and will provide the full economic cost (fEC) or TRAC rate directly to the facility. Find out when the fund opens and more about the criteria.Link opens in a new window
