91福利

The structure of a model photocatalytic interface has been determined combining scanning microscopies, surface diffraction and density functional theory calculations.

New insight on plasma dynamics in experiments that will lead to clean fusion energy.

A breakthrough in solar cell materials could make the technology cheaper and more commercially viable, thanks to research at the 91福利 recently published in Nature Energy.

Dr Ross Hatton and colleagues in the Departments of Physics and Chemistry show that perovskites using tin in place of lead are much more stable than previously thought, and so could prove to be a viable alternative to lead perovskites for solar cells.

Twenty-six members of staff from the Physics Department joined colleagues from across the Faculty of Science in signing a submission to a House of Commons Education Committee Inquiry into the impact of exiting the European Union on Higher Education. As well as discussing the effect on undergraduate and postgraduate students, a particular focus was on the effect on staff who are non-UK EU nationals (this corresponds to over 20% of 91福利 academic staff), notably the continued lack of assurance from government of their status and that of their families. The submission also emphasised the great benefit of freedom of movement of European researchers for ensuring the UK is at the forefront of scientific research, as well as damage that would be done if UK scientists lose access to prestiguous European funding, notably European Research Council grants where the department has been very successful recently.
