In research published in Nature, scientists from the Scherman and Grey research groups demonstrate a path to batteries that do not contain rare metals and are stable in the air.
Study shows that performance analysis of the same data set produce varying results. Researchers invite labs to join follow-up trial to improve supercapacitor analysis.
Solar-powered device produces clean water and clean fuel at the same time
The latest artificial leaf hitches a lift on a punt on the River Cam
Researchers here have developed a floating, solar-powered device that can turn contaminated water or seawater into clean hydrogen fuel and purified water, anywhere in the world

Scientists here have developed a system to modify naturally occurring proteins in a biological environment for the first time, opening a path to new therapies for illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease and cancer.
The talk Clever Coatings with an interactive demonstration will be on the 25 October in the Wolfson Lecture Room at 6pm with Professor Stuart Clarke who will talk about novel coatings in our everyday life.
Congratulations to Megan Penrod who was awarded the Faraday Institution Community Award STEM Outreach Award recognising her work engaging and inspiring young people in science outreach.
