Mutual affinity of electron polarons and water at a TiO2 surface
Titania has been the subject of a tremendous amount of research, most of it related to its photocatalytic applications. Central to these studies has been the work that has explored the interaction of water with TiO2 surfaces. Indeed, this is now quite well understood....
Hidden topology controls material properties
Solid substances are made of atoms or ions. These may be arranged in an ordered pattern, like in a rock salt crystal, or they may be completely disordered, like in window glass. But more common than either extreme is the intermediate situation where order and disorder...
LiFi research to revolutionise data downloads
A new form of high speed wireless internet, which uses the lights in homes and offices to transmit data, could revolutionise the way we download and upload information in the future. Researchers from Northumbria University, Newcastle and University College London...
