The accident happened on the A336 between Bartley and Netley Marsh. Picture: Google Streetview. A MAN has been arrested on suspicion of drug-driving after a volunteer litter-picker was badly injured in an accident. The 68-year-old victim suffered seven broken ribs and a fractured pelvis in the incident, which occurred on the A336 between Bartley and Netley Marsh. Members of Copythorne Parish Pickers, who wear bright pink jackets, were removing rubbish from a wide strip of grassland beside the road. A statement on social media, issued with the consent of the victim s husband, says the casualty suffered a broken wrist, seven broken ribs and a broken pelvis in the collision.
Silicon photonics moves into new clinical and environmental applications
14 Apr 2021
MISSION project developing next-generation integrated photonics devices.
Graham Reed: progress towards better lives around the world.
A new project coordinated by the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) at the University of Southampton aims to extend silicon photonics devices into new applications.
Backed by £5.8 million from the UK s EPSRC funding agency, the five-year program intends to unleash the full potential of integrated mid-infrared photonics, according to the project.
MISSION, named for Mid-Infrared Silicon Photonic Sensors for Healthcare and Environmental Monitoring, also includes as partners the universities of York and Sheffield, as well as the Southampton-based National Oceanographic Centre (NOC).

SOUTHAMPTON is to help spearhead an international trial which will look to help improve the lives of bladder cancer patients. The first UK patients have now been recruited to take part in tests looking at whether an immunotherapy treatment could improve the long-term outcomes following radiotherapy for those suffering from the disease. Named the BL-13 trial, it is being led by Dr Simon Crabb at the CRUK Southampton Clinical Trials Unit, based within the University of Southampton’s Centre for Cancer Immunology. Around 10,000 people are diagnosed with bladder cancer each year in the UK. If the cancer has invaded the muscle wall of the bladder, patients require treatment with chemotherapy followed by either a course of radiotherapy or a cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder), a procedure which may impact on their quality of life.

Silicon photonics has transformed data communications technology thanks to its low cost and high performance. This new research project will aim to bring the benefits of this technology to a range of new applications that could be manufactured at a mass scale to solve societal challenges and transform peoples’ lives. Currently silicon photonics applications operate in the near-infrared wavelength range (1.2 μm – 1.6 μm). Key to this project will be the de
