Deregulation, government failure, and tragedy: The Report of Phase 2 of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry
Abstract The Inquiry into the fire at Grenfell Tower, London, in 2017 has exposed the failures that led to the tragedy in a commendably exhaustive manner. But the explanation of those failures is seriously inadequate. First, they are attributed to deregulation, when the Inquiry itself details the ways in which the cladding of the building was subject ...

Quantitative evaluation of LED‐based optical autofocus module
Abstract We report an improved version of the open‐source optical autofocus (OAF) module (openAF) for light microscopy, replacing the superluminescent diode (SLD) with a multimode‐optical fibre‐coupled LED as a more accessible AF module light source. We also present a method for independently quantifying AF system performance using 2D autocorrelation ...

Lithium‐ion battery anodes that maintain good performance and excellent stability under high temperature conditions. Silicon oxide (SiO) has great potential as a high‐capacity anode for lithium‐ion batteries, but its practical use is limited by excessive volume expansion (>200%) and rapid capacity fade, especially at high temperatures.

Relative Effects of Fabry‐Perot, Mie, and Guided‐Mode Resonance in Periodic Photonic Lattice Physics
The physical origins of resonance effects in one‐dimensional periodic photonic lattices are studied to assess the relative roles of Fabry–Perot, Mie, and guided‐mode resonance mechanisms. It is shown that lattice resonance is fundamentally governed by lateral leaky Bloch modes and their coupling to external radiation via guided‐mode resonance.

Breaking the Size‐Tolerance Trade‐off in Vertical Couplers via Adjoint‐Based Inverse Design
A physics‐guided inverse design framework combines physical insight with adjoint optimization by placing dense control points in the phase‐near‐matched region. This guided strategy yields a 20 μm III–V‐on‐silicon coupler with 98.11% efficiency, > 80% efficiency at ± $\mathit{\pm }$ 1.1 μm misalignment, and record high tolerance per unit length ...
