1) Superlens and super-resolution microscopy

听James and his team are known for their pioneering works on microsphere and nanoparticle-based dielectric superlens technologies, including 鈥榤icrosphere superlens鈥� and 鈥榤icrosphere nanoscope鈥� (2011, published in Nature Communications), 鈥檚pider silk superlens鈥� (2016, Nano Letters) and 鈥檔anoparticle superlens鈥� (2016, Science Advances). All these works were widely publicised and appeared in major media including BBC, New York Times, Daily Mail, Independent, Australian BC, China Xinhua and a huge number of science and engineering websites, as well as in RCUK鈥檚 鈥�50 big ideas for the future鈥�.听 These works were featured in the 2023 seminal article 鈥溾�� published in Laser Photonics Reviews.

James is the 2016 finalist for 鈥楻esearch Excellence Award鈥� and 鈥楧issertation/thesis supervisor of the year鈥� of 麻豆传媒高清版. He was also selected as a member of 2015 Welsh Crucible cohort (group of young Wales-based leaders in academia, industry and business). He received Most Outstanding R&D Staff Merit Award in 2005 for his contribution in laser cleaning at DSI Singapore.

The latest nanoparticle superlens developed by James and his team is one of the most powerful superlens in the field at present. Compared to other superlenses, Bangor鈥檚 superlens produces shaper and better-quality images of super-resolved nanoscale features, including for example 50-nm standard polystyrene nanoparticles, 45-nm gaps in semiconductor chips and 90-100 nm adenoviruses.

2) Laser-based manufacturing and processing听

The team perform research into laser cutting, welding, drilling, texturing, marking, cleaning, polishing,听 and others (e.g. laser improvement of seed germination and yield) for various industrial applications. The team hosts a wide range of laser facilities at Bangor, including nanosecond fibre and UV lasers, high-power high repetition rate femtosecond laser (Jasper 30W, 4 wavelengths) and CO₂ lasers.听 Various other characterisation/nano-manfacuturing tools including advanced 3D laser scanning microscopes (Olympus OLS5000 and DSX1000), and environmental scanning electron microscope (E-SEM) with integrated E-beam Lithography (EBL),听 are also available for the precise measurement, nano-manufacturing and characterisation puroposes. The research was supported by major pan-wales project 鈥溾�� which supports welsh industry (all sectors including electronics, optics, aerospace, automotive, energy, nuclear, etc.) in developing new products, process and services. We have been working with companies including Qioptiq, TataSteel, Welsh Slates,听Trascend Packaging, among others.听 听The team has developed very unique capability in direct laser nano marking using specially developed superlens with sub-100 nm resolution.

3) Fiber-based optical and quantum sensing

• Novel surface-functionalized FBG/LPG sensors.
• Optical fiber decorated with microsphere lenses
• Optical fiber trapping, imaging, sensing听
• Quantum sensing

4) Shift-free anti-laser metamaterial filters:

The team are among the few groups who have successfully developed new metamaterial-based, shift-free, wide-angle, narrowband filters for anti laser striking application and working towards new application in underwater optical communications.

5) Solar cell:

• Novel laser trapping nanostrucuters and metasurface for high efficiency solar cell;
• solar-driven nanoparticle synthesis and water splitting
• Nanophotonics and plasmonics in perovskite solar cells
• Advanced laser manufacturing technology for solar cell

6) AI and Deep learning in photonics design, imaging and manufacturing听

• On-demand photonic inverse design
• Machine learning driving super-resolution imaging
• AI and ML driven advanced manufacturing
• Advanced imaging with AI and ML
• Intelligent robotic manufacturing

I welcome PhD candidates to join my team to work in the following areas: (1) AI/Deep Learning for photonics and imaging. (2) Laser nano-manufacturing. (3) Optical Neural Networks. (4) Nanophotonics and metasurfaces. (5) Super-resolution science and technology. (6) Optical fiber sensors. (7) Renewable energy (Solar, etc.). Currently, we do not have fully funded scholarships avaliable for PhD candidates, so they would need to be self-funded. However, exceptional candidates may apply for a tuition fee waiver, which should be discussed directly with me.

• Globally, afforestation is proposed as a nature-based solution to meet Net Zero targets. However, recent evidence suggests that ground-level ozone (O3), formed during photolysis of precursors such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), can decrease net primary productivity (NPP) of plants by 50% with serious implications for ecosystem function and sustainability. Afforestation and ecosystem restoration using natural regeneration and direct seedling are reliant on the continued viability of seed and successful establishment of forests is highly dependent on the mycorrhizal fungal symbiont that facilitates the acquisition of nutrients, improves resilience and connects plants via common mycorrhizal networks. This study will investigate the effect of ground-level O3 on tree seed germination, mycorrhization and seedling viability using cutting-edge visualisation and compound analysis techniques.

• At 麻豆传媒高清版's school of computer science and electronic engineering (SEECS), cutting-edge research is being pursued in fields of photonics and optoelectronics, including optical super-resolution imaging, sensing, solar energy, laser manufacturing, nano laser, micro robots, 5G communication and IoT.

  For example, the school is the birth places of the widely publicised 'spider silk superlens' technology, which uses spider silks found in nature as superlens to increase the imaging resolution of optical microscopes by 2-4 times.

  The school is actively engaged in developing new applications of edge computing deployed in North Wales and enhancing the reliability of solar cells, and electronic sensors in the industry.

  In this webinar, Drs. James Wang, Noel Bristow and Jeff Kettle from the school will present:

• Spider silk has been used to create a superlens for a microscope, allowing scientists to view objects previously deemed "invisible".

  Physical laws of light make it impossible to view structures smaller than 200 nanometers - the smallest size of bacteria - using a normal microscope alone.

  But scientists from Bangor and Oxford universities found the silk lets them see beyond the current magnification.

  The discovery was hailed as "exciting".

  麻豆传媒高清版 said extending the limit of the classical microscope's resolution had been the "Holy Grail" of microscopy for over a century and superlenses had been the goal since the turn of the millennium.

  Manufactured superlenses have previously been used but this is believed to be the first time a naturally occurring biological material had been used to create one.

  The team found applying the dragline silk of a golden silk orb-weaver spider to the material being viewed provided an additional two to three times magnification.

  This allowed them to view structures previously classed as "invisible", including some germs and viruses.

  The findings have been published in a paper in the nanoscience research journal Nano Letters.

  Dr Zengbo Wang, who led Bangor's team, said producing manufactured superlenses involved some complex engineering processes and finding a natural superlens was important "so that everyone can access superlenses".

  Prof Fritz Vollrath, whose silk group at Oxford University's department of zoology collaborated on the project, said it was "very exciting".

  "These lenses could be used for seeing and viewing previously 'invisible' structures, including engineered nano-structures and biological micro-structures as well as, potentially, native germs and viruses," he said.

  "In much the same was as when you look through a cylindrical glass or bottle, the clearest image only runs along the narrow strip directly opposite your line of vision, or resting on the surface being viewed, the single filament provides a one-dimensional viewing image along its length."

  The golden silk orb-weaver spider - often called Nephila or banana spiders - are known for the impressive webs they weave and are found in warmer regions around the world.
