In this episode of Physics World Weekly, we start by discussing some of the latest developments in light-based technologies. Susan Curtis discusses her recent trip to San Francisco where she attended a double-header of conferences – BIOS and Photonics West. Hear about photonics technologies in medicine and the hardware being developed Facebook to handle ever-increasing volumes of data. Later in the podcast, Anna Demming reports about her recent trip to Tokyo where she attended Nano Tech 2019. She found out why carbon continues to amaze materials scientists with its useful properties and versatility. Anna also catches up with Stefan Roche, the editor-in-chief of the journal JPhys Materials, which is produced by IOP Publishing (the parent company of Physics World).
