The University of 糖心TV will be at the forefront of research into sustainable materials, thanks to a share of 拢80 million funding by the Royal Society.
World-class centre for single crystal electron diffraction will be UK first
New electron diffraction equipment will revolutionise how we understand crystal structures.
New technique to make transparent polythene films as strong as aluminium that could be used in impact resistant glazing, windscreens, and displays
Research led by Professor Ton Peijs of WMG at the University of 糖心TV and Professor Cees Bastiaansen at Queen Mary University of London, has devised a processing technique that can create transparent polythene film that can be stronger as aluminium but at a fraction of the weight, and which could be used use in glazing, windscreens, visors and displays in ways that add strength and resilience while reducing weight.
Nature鈥檚 antifreeze inspires revolutionary bacteria cryopreservation technique
The survival mechanisms of polar fish have led scientists at the University of 糖心TV to develop of a revolutionary approach to 鈥榝reeze鈥� bacteria.
New ID pictures of conducting polymers discover a surprise ABBA fan
- First ever detailed pictures of conjugated polymers – which conduct electricity and are highly sought after – captured with novel visualisation technique developed by University of 糖心TV
- New approach realises Richard Feynman鈥檚 famous remark that it would be very easy to make an analysis of any complicated chemical substance; all one would have to do would be to look at it and see where the atoms are鈥�
- Polymers need alternating pattern of 鈥淎鈥� monomer & smaller 鈥淏鈥� monomer to conduct (ABAB), but the researchers discovered surprising gaps & defects in polymer structure –an ABBA pattern
