Constraining symmetron fields with atom interferometry (2016)
Journal Article

We apply the new constraints from atom-interferometry searches for screening mechanisms to the symmetron model, finding that these experiments exclude a previously unexplored region of the parameter space. We discuss the possibility of networks of do... Read More about Constraining symmetron fields with atom interferometry.

A proposed experimental search for chameleons using asymmetric parallel plates (2016)
Journal Article

Light scalar fields coupled to matter are a common consequence of theories of dark energy and attempts to solve the cosmological constant problem. The chameleon screening mechanism is commonly invoked in order to suppress the fifth forces mediated by...

Novel highly sensitive protein sensors based on tapered optical fibres modified with Au-based nanocoatings (2016)
Journal Article

Novel protein sensors based on tapered optical fibres modified with Au coatings deposited using two different procedures are proposed. Au-based coatings are deposited onto a nonadiabatic tapered optical fibre using (i) a novel facile method composed...

A long period grating optical fiber sensor with nano-assembled porphyrin layers for detecting ammonia gas (2016)
Journal Article

In this study, the ability of a long period grating (LPG) optical fiber sensor coated with a multilayer film of poly(diallyldimethyammonium chloride) (PDDA) and tetrakis(4-sulfophenyl)porphine (TSPP) to detect ammonia gas was demonstrated. The nano-a... Read More about A long period grating optical fiber sensor with nano-assembled porphyrin layers for detecting ammonia gas.
