Photocatalysis: Importance of the Aqueous Interface
The interaction of water on TiO2 is crucial to elucidate photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen fuel generation. Anatase and rutile are the most commonly occurring polymorphs of TiO2. Although the interaction of water on rutile surfaces has been extensively...
Perovskite solar cell technology for exceptional light harvesting under indoor illumination
Perovskite solar cells have been attracting great attention from the scientific and industrial communities in the past few years because they are able to combine high power conversion efficiencies under standard test conditions (i.e. those of the sun) with simple...
Special Temperatures for Magnetic Discovery
Getting to low temperature is something we take for granted today: laboratories across the world are awash with liquid nitrogen at -196C and body scanners in hospitals use liquid helium at only 4.2 degrees above absolute zero (-269 C). Yet what underpins this low...
Morphing twisted nanoscale objects opens up a new way to tailor applications in future technologies
Lonon Centre for Nanotechnology Scientists have helped create a way to model interactions between light and twisted molecules, as they transition from left to right-handed versions, or vice versa. For the first time scientists have created a way to model the...
