Creative cameras: photography in a new light exhibit at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2014. Jonathan Leach, Lecturer at Heriot-Watt University. Heriot-Watt University and University of Glasgow research team. How do you take images so fast that you can see light travelling through air? How do you take pictures without using a camera? And how do you use the latest technology to look around corners and see objects hidden from view? These are the questions that researchers from Heriot-Watt University and the University of Glasgow - the Creative Cameras team - are looking into. Their research is focused on developing new strategies for imaging, which allow us to see the world in a new perspective. The Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2014 was held 1-6 July 2014 at the Royal Society in London. Find out more: http://sse.royalsociety.org/2014/

PRaVDA - seeing and treating cancer with protons exhibit at Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2014. Professor Nigel Allinson, University of Lincoln. Dr Tony Price, University of Birmingham. Dr Michela Esposito, University of Lincoln. Dr Jon Taylor, University of Liverpool. The World Health Organisation estimates there are 14 million new cancer cases each year. It is the second biggest killer in the developed world - about 1 in 4 of all deaths. Of these cases, about half will receive radiotherapy as part of their treatment. All high-energy radiation damages a cell's DNA and most radiotherapy uses external beams of X-rays. Protons, positively charged particles, offer a new form of radiotherapy. PRaVDA is a unique instrument that will let clinicians see how the protons interact with a tumour in 3D - this is the Holy Grail of Radiotherapy. The Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2014 was held 1-6 July 2014 at the Royal Society in London. Find out more: http://sse.royalsociety.org/2014/

Through the insect ear exhibit at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2014. Dr Fernando Montealegre-z, University of Lincoln. Professor Daniel Robert, University of Bristol. Katydids, also known as Bushcrickets, can hear sounds that are beyond human hearing - these are high frequency ultrasounds. They use ultrasonic signals to communicate and find each other in the lush rainforests. The research team has examined Katydids to discover how they detect and produce sound signals. They showed that Katydid ears work similar to the human ear, therefore understanding its function is important. Through studying the biomechanics of the modern Katydid, the research team has recreated the call of its ancestor, the Jurassic cricket, which lived 165 million years ago. Their exhibit also allows people the chance to hear what an insect is hearing. The Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition 2014 was held 1-6 July 2014 at the Royal Society in London.

Famous quotes by Royal Society:

"People have to be aware of the dangers and the power of the sea and rivers. Lifebelts may be someone's last chance of survival if they are swept into the sea. For rescuers to find that they are missing must be very frustrating and terrifying."

"Its supporters make only selective reference to the overwhelming scientific evidence that supports evolution."

"This rejection is gratifying and shows that public welfare is still behind the decision-making process. We are grateful to all those who participated in voicing their rejection to this amendment and hope that this line of communication always stays open."

"We think it conceivable that the journals in some disciplines might suffer. Why would you pay to subscribe to a journal if the papers appear free of charge?"

"The evening is being held primarily as a get-together for our members after the summer break,"

"We recognise that all vehicles can be dangerous when in an accident with a pedestrian."

"We show the first wild images of a giant squid in its natural environment,"
