Bristol has been awarded funding to build the UK’s first NanoESCA system by the EPSRC’s Strategic Equipment Panel, including a collaboration to develop tuneable X-ray electron spectroscopy.
Huawei, a leading global ICT solutions provider, has today announced it is working with The University of Manchester to explore the uses of graphene to develop the next generation of high-performance technologies in the ICT field. The project which will initially run for two years, will explore ways of using graphene’s revolutionary applications in consumer electronics and mobile communication devices.
Graphene has generally been described as a two-dimensional structure—a single sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a regular structure—but the reality is not so simple.
Xi Jinping, the President of People’s Republic of China, visited the University of Manchester's National Graphene Institute (NGI) as part of his state tour.
An overview of the range of useful applications of halloysite clay tubes has been published. The naturally occuring, biocompatible, nanoscale tubes can be used for sustained drug delivery and alongside enzymes as biocatalytic nanoreactors.
